Fluidline won't come off my brushes!!

I am an absolute Fluidline addict lol. Problem is, I was washing my brushes, and it won't come off! I get flakes of it in the sink, but it looks like its not all gone. How do you get this stuff off??

Forgive me if this is the wrong place for this post, feel free to move it :P

Yea, most of the time i just use straight up brush cleanser and all that stuff comes off, good as new.

I use Philosophy Purity cleanser, really massage it in for a good long while before rinsing with water. Works every time for me.

Won't the brush cleaner dry my brushes out?

brandi · 03-24-2006, 05:19 AM #7 (**permalink**)

nope it doesnt dry it out.... i clean mines every single time i use it with fluidline... since fluidline dries sooo fast it makes the brush hard... i hate it when that happens soo i clean it all the time.... i might leave it a few times if i'm lazy!!! lolz... but yea trust me it shouldnt go bad... just put a little on a napkin and go back and forth on that... what i do is put a little drop on the brush itself if there is a lot of build up!!!!

I always clean it with the diluted brush cleanser! I put some on a kitchen towel and swirl the brush on it until it's clean!

Brush cleaner has a conditioning agent in it to condition the bristles. If the brush cleaner isn't completely removing the fluidline, use a gentle face cleanser, like MACs Everyday Lotion Cleanser, if you have it on hand. If not and you don't want to spend the money, go to the drugstore and pick up some Cetaphil face cleanser. Its less expensive and still gentle. This works great for cleaning of the paints as well.

Also, I bought a huge pack of wash cloths from Costco that I use just for makeup removal and brush cleaning. It works better than just using tissues for brush cleaning. The nap and texture of the wash cloth helps to gently "scrub" the brush when you lightly swirl it on there. Plus, I don't worry about staining my regular towels and wash cloths.

I use Gerber's Grins and Giggles lavender baby shampoo and warm water - swirl it in the shampoo, lightly rub between my fingers, and rinse. It comes right out!

Brush Cleaner works like a charm. Just squirt some on a towel and swirl around until it comes clean.

trust me brush cleaner does not work for fluidlines. i tried SO HARD to get it off, but it wouldn't budge off my 266. instead try this. its called brush off and they sell it at www.ulta.com. about 9 bucks for it and all you do is spray it on the brush a couple times, then get a paper towel and wipe it right off. you don't even have to wait for your brushes to dry. and it doesn't dry out your brushes at all. hope that helps

strange. the brush cleanser works great for mine. i just spray it on a work towel and swipe and it comes off very easily

I find that a oil-based cleanser like the cleanse off oil or cold cream removes fluidline from brushes the best.

I use cleanse-off oil to soften it, then use my bar of Cetaphil soap to wash it off. Cleans up well.

mac brush cleaner works perfectly on my 209 and 266 brushes, both which i use with fluidline. also, i used my 242 the other day when using non-conformist as a base all over my lids, and brush cleanser worked fine on that t
