Abstract: A method of using a device for washing and rinsing brushes includes providing the device, washing a brush head along a plurality of first texturing features distributed over a first surface region of the device, and rinsing the brush head along a plurality of second texturing features extending along a second surface region of the device. The first texturing features provide a directionally neutral first texture adapted for movement of the brush head substantially equally in all directions along the first surface region, and the second texturing features provide a directionally oriented second texture adapted for movement of the brush head in a predetermined direction along the second surface region.

Abstract: A mitten-shaped cosmetic brush cleaning device includes a frontal panel and a complementary rear panel forming an enclosure for receiving the user's hand. The frontal panel overlies the palmar side of the hand and incorporates washing, rinsing, and post-rinsing textures suited to larger cosmetic brushes. The rear panel incorporates washing, rinsing and post-rinsing textures suited for smaller brushes used to apply eye makeup. The device incorporates a shaping surface along a thumb section and an index-finger side of a main body, to facilitate use of the thumb and index finger to compress a brush head between confronting portions of the shaping surface to remove excess moisture after cleaning. One version of the device features a primary section, and two thumb sections emanating from opposite sides of the primary section. This version incorporates two shaping surfaces, one between each thumb section and its adjacent side of the primary section.

Abstract: A mitten-shaped cosmetic brush cleaning device includes a frontal panel and a complementary rear panel that cooperate to form an enclosure for receiving the user's hand. The frontal panel overlies the palmar side of the hand and incorporates distinct washing, rinsing, and post-rinsing textures suited to larger cosmetic brushes. The rear panel incorporates distinct washing, rinsing and post-rinsing textures suited for smaller brushes such as those used to apply eye makeup. The device further incorporates a smooth surface region along a thumb section of the mitten and an index-finger side of a main body of the mitten, to facilitate use of the thumb and index finger to compress a brush head between confronting portions of the smooth surface to remove excess moisture after cleaning.
