Let's be honest, most of us aren't cleaning our makeup brushes nearly as often as we should. Experts say you should be washing them weekly. But if you're thinking back and realizing that it's been a few weeks — or maybe even months — since you last gave them a scrub, it's probably time to replace them altogether.
Thankfully, Amazon has plenty of deals right now on makeup brushes, as well as sponges and cleaning tools, so you can swap out your dirty ones or stock up on more so you're never without a fresh set. The best part? Options start at just $6!
Below, 11 picks to add to your beauty cabinet now.
