Olive oil actually can tap bacteria in the bristles and leaves a residue that can cause the brush to become ineffective.
Synthetic bristles don't particularly need conditioned (there's no cuticle that gets damaged during washing), and natural hair brushes can be conditioned by using a conditioning cleaner. Oils just ruin brushes in the long run.

Any brush cleaner will work. CLEAN, Parian Spirit, etc. Just be aware that Parian Spirit is a solvent, and can dissolve synthetic bristles if used incorrectly.
Personally, I use The Masters Brush Cleaner and Conditioner, available at any art supply store. It removes even stubborn special effects makeup (because it is designed to remove acrylic and oils) without damaging the bristles. When I finish cleaning all of my brushes, I dip the bristles in 70% alcohol for 20-30 seconds and set them to dry standing up (bristles down).

I use the beauty blender soap thingy but I wash all my brushes with it and I get like only 2 washes out of it and it's annoying like every 2 3 weeks to buy more I don't know what else to use and baby shampoo never worked for me there was always still shampoo on the brush and I would sit there risning it for hours
