Review (2/5): Cleaning by hand is better.
This machine was not as effective as I hoped it would be. It works better with powder base products but I still had to clean the brushes as least 2 or 3 times for it to become fully cleaned. This left my eyeshadow brushes a weird shape where I had to wet the brush just to get it back to the shape that I needed, which defeats the purpose because this is supposed to dry my brushes as well. For cream or liquid makeup, don't waste your time. I used different cleansers and everything. I will stick with my time consuming handheld makeup brush cleaner because it gets the job done.
