So the only problem I have with lip tars, is cleaning them out of my lip brushes.. I do get them clean if I wash them like ten times in a row with dish-washing soap, but I feel like there should be an easier solution. I currently use synthetic brushes, but I am considering disposable ones if I can solve this problem. Any ideas? Anyone else have the same problem?

Try using an oil based remover to break down the product first, then washing them the normal way you wash your brushes.

Try using olive oil first, work it into the brush, rinse with warm water and then use a dish soap or shampoo.

I use dish-washing liquid and olive oil mixed! Isopropyl alcohol works as a quick-clean solution but if you use it too often it would ruin your brushes.

Olive oil works wonders, I also have found you must wash your brush as soon as your done.

try freshs soy face cleanser or purity cleanser....they both break down the makeup and you can also use them for face wash gotta love the double usage lol....
