My wife was amused when I told her that one of the channels I subscribed to, the one with the guy who's voice she likes, posted a makeup brush cleaning tutorial, and I was excited to watch it. She had a right giggle.
I gave up drybrushing years ago because regular brushes didn’t work. Tried Walmart makeup brushes and WOW what a difference. This was the info I needed, one of them is dried stiff.
I really love how well these work, was a lot of fun asking my girlfriend if she has any that he needs no more then telling her I want to paint with them. The look of "what did you knock over with your head?" was priceless.
A little add-on tip from a geeky wet shave fan, if you DO get it wet up to the glue, hang it brush side down to dry. There's a reason shaving brush or asian calligraphy stands hang vertically, brush down, and its specifically to avoid undue wear-and-tear on the brush.
I know Im asking randomly but does anyone know of a way to log back into an Instagram account? I somehow lost the password. I love any help you can give me
They really do make great dry brushes, I bough my set after watching his other video about dry brushing, I needed to mafe 4 alien eyes for a halflife creature I made and though I would try making them in sculpie red then mixing the colors with the airbrush, I decided to give these a go with dry brushing forst and the effect was amazing, better and a lot easier than airbrushing them
If you hit the Dollar Tree where everything is a dollar, they have one with a white handle that is much like the one you have in the video. And only $1.
That's exactly where I got my set of make-up brushes (sparkly blue handles). Three of them in a container, one of them the big kind. It's a good selection of sizes for dry brushing, I think. One dollar for the whole thing.
I just figured this out a few weeks ago with my Artis Opus drybrushes. If you clean your brush and then try to go for another drybrush session right away, the damp drybrush will leave streaks of paint instead of the drybrush effect.
@@dargor3 I think the key word there is "damp" not "wet". I've seen their videos, and they specifically mention needing to wipe it off on the back of your hand until it's just slightly damp. That said, you don't need to pay $80 for their brushes, dampening pad, and wooden box when cheap makup brushes, a sponge with small pores in a suitably hard container, and a small box available anywhere will do.
I'm a professional makeup artist, and I've cleaned my expensive makeup brushes with a bar soap called Zote soap that you can get from Walmart for $1 and sterilizing them with alcohol. Cleaning them is not as complicated and expensive as some people make it out to be.
I started using the make up brush to dry brush but I also realized they are great to put on a base coat after I prime it lol. Idk stuff looks great can’t complain and you can go heavy and light as you work around model.
I'll have to try this. I usually clean them the usual way (brush soap), but that doesn't get everything, so I go back with some Isopropyl to get the rest of the gunk out. One think I always notice is that about 15 minutes in, they hit a point where they're too gunky / sticky to work well.
Thanks for the tip, I usually immersed it in water, but definitely not needed. And the drying time is a problem for me...so the only solution is to get more drybrushes :(
Its fine to wash them with a mild shampoo. Its recommended to thoroughly wash make up brushes regularly for hygiene reasons, so as long as you leave them to dry fully they will generally be fine.
unless it is synthetic, you dont want to use iso on real hair brushes or it will suck out all the moisture and oils from them and the hair will start breaking off .
Thanks, been requesting this. Could you do a general brush care tutorial? Im on dollar store brushs. I have one nice set of nice pricey brushes, I recieved as a gift and Im to afraid to use them. I wreck brushes.
Maybe every third or fourth time I use my makeup drybrushes, I put a bit of shampoo/conditioner in the cleaning water, rinse them off, and then leave them to dry. Seems to spruce them up a bit.

Atom, "Don't shake it towards your spouse." Me, "Hey honey, can you come here and hold still for a second?" Sleeping on the couch will be totally worth it.
Man you gota Bob Ross that beast, dunk it, and beat the crap out of it. BADADADADA!!!! Back and forth accross your table leg, or some other hard bar like surface.
No no no! Totally wrong. You must get it soaking wet and shake it vigorously toward your spouse or significant other! Especially if you are behind them! It will make your life exciting and interesting 🤣

lol, mine too. Old golden voice does sound amazing though.
I just recently, FINALLY, tried your recommendation of makeup brushes for dry brushes.
OMG WHY DID I NOT TRY THESE EARLIER?!
Agree; I went on Amazon and picked up a multi-pack of brushes with roll case for about $10 which will last me a life time.
Great tips. Still glad that even after 30 years in the hobby there are always new tips to learn.

Perfect timing!!
yesterday i bought some brushes from the store to use this weekend.
"Don't shake it towards your spouse. Or your computer."
I'm pretty sure, for most of us, those two are the same thing.

@Avery Roman instablaster =)
4:09 Wait, was that the equivalent of "beat the devil out of it"?!?😂
Here we go, I was about to post this!
Definitely a little tip of the hat to Bob when he mentions dousing your spouse, in the house.

I bought a variety pack from Amazon that has a bunch of them with different types of tips too for cheap. They're great for drybrushing for sure.

And yet, on their videos, they seem to go to the dampening pad every now and then. I never understood that.

Thanks for that Uncle Atom, there was a couple of things I was doing incorrect when I was cleaning my brushes.
i`ve seen the artis opus folks use a sponge to moisture their drybrush brushes before painting. have you ever tried this?
I'm a professional makeup artist, and I've cleaned my expensive makeup brushes with a bar soap called Zote soap that you can get from Walmart for $1 and sterilizing them with alcohol. Cleaning them is not as complicated and expensive as some people make it out to be.
Im glad I read this because Ive been told before that alcohol will ruin the bristles on my brushes.
So I guess that guy was wrong then
i bought some with your recomendation... misses was very confused when they turned up.. but they are fantastic!!! baby shampoo is brilliant!
Thanks for the vid, been using makeup brushes since you suggested them but was getting them way too wet
I started using the make up brush to dry brush but I also realized they are great to put on a base coat after I prime it lol. Idk stuff looks great can’t complain and you can go heavy and light as you work around model.
Zenithal prime and then a base coat with one of these, followed by a few thin glazes gives a lovely well blended finish

Needed this. Thanks, Uncle.

I was wondering how to clean them. Thank you
Its fine to wash them with a mild shampoo. Its recommended to thoroughly wash make up brushes regularly for hygiene reasons, so as long as you leave them to dry fully they will generally be fine.
This will help me a lot with my unpainted space wolves
that warning at the start was 100% gold plated. i laughed my ass off.
I've had good luck with using shampoo to wash out the paint and restore the bristles when Im done with my painting session
Two in one shampoo and conditioner for me. Works brilliantly
Same here. I keep some conditioner at my paint station. Great for all kinds of brushes
Three hooray's voor Uncle Adam! We needed this.
You can also use Iso, it will evaporate faster and you can re-use the brush faster.
unless it is synthetic, you dont want to use iso on real hair brushes or it will suck out all the moisture and oils from them and the hair will start breaking off .
I'm literally watching this waiting for my small makeup brush to dry!
Thanks, been requesting this. Could you do a general brush care tutorial? Im on dollar store brushs. I have one nice set of nice pricey brushes, I recieved as a gift and Im to afraid to use them. I wreck brushes.
Thank you for this tip! Side question, will be be selling anymore of the black Pa-chow t-shirts?
Perfect timing. Was about to roam the internet wasteland for just such a tip. Kudos to you sir.
I dry brush with a damp, and sometimes wet brush, works for me and IMHO get a smother finish
I use these with Vallejo metal colours and those are so liquidy that the brush soaks up a ton of that paint 😬 plenty to clean afterwards
Thanks for the helpful info, Uncle Atom. The “slinging/whip technique” is definitely not a good idea.
He is completely right
Hmmm... Good tips as always but a couple questions; Do you use different brushes for metallics, and if so, is there a tip to clean them better?
Maybe every third or fourth time I use my makeup drybrushes, I put a bit of shampoo/conditioner in the cleaning water, rinse them off, and then leave them to dry. Seems to spruce them up a bit.
I use a small hairdryer abt 30secs all dry
New t shirt idea- Floofy and Honkin’
Had to ask my wife about this she has some rubber thingy and some special soap and those brushes came out clean af
Steven Lukas what’s it called sounds pretty useful

What the heck is " pachow"?
Thank you for your work, I appreciate your videos.
This man is really just the Matt Colville of war games
thanks for the quick tips on speed painting. paint more mini's and fight more battles 'for the greater good'.
“And honkin” hahahaha

Uncle Atom Life Pro Tips: Sometimes I dip it twice. Don't shake it towards your spouse.
"Don't shake it towards your spouse."
Don't kink shame people Adam! Lol.
WISCONSIN.....
Wiggle it...just a little bit...uh....
Now that is in my head.
@E Lowe nah...your mom.
Pretty sure the metal thing is called the "Pharrell." I know that because I'm happy. Clap along if that's what you want to do.
Don't forget to massage your dry brushes...that's what I got from this...
Uh oh, he double dips
Just the tip....
#g4needstalent
they are a pain to clean for sure.
Just dip the tip...
once again, way too much compression on your mic!
No no no! Totally wrong. You must get it soaking wet and shake it vigorously toward your spouse or significant other! Especially if you are behind them! It will make your life exciting and interesting 🤣
It's pronounced "Fore - Rully" ....... i can't be trusted :P
Instead of talking for 7 minutes about nothing, you should actually show us you cleaning the brushes…
