Yes! It's safe to clean mascara brushes, and it's recommended to clean all other makeup brushes that you use.
Dirty brushes, powder puffs, and sponges are not good for skin. Bacteria build up on them and when you apply makeup to clean skin you are just putting more and more bacteria into your pores which causes breakouts and skin conditions.





Puffs and sponges are more disposable (in most cases) and should be replaced. Puffs and sponges do not dry easily after cleansing and they are significantly cheaper than a quality set of cosmetic brushes.





A dirty makeup brush is not only unhygienic but is quite likely to worsen or cause more breakouts, rashes, etc. Therefore, you should always clean your makeup brushes as they almost always have build ups of makeup, oil and bacteria. Once every 2-4 weeks should suffice for most people.





There are many brush cleaners available. Two excellent brands worth mentioning are Masters Brush Cleaner %26amp; Preserver and ';Pink Soap'; Artist Brush Cleaner and Conditioner. They both clean and rinse out very well. They are available at any good art supply or cosmetic store. Clinique and Avon also offer very good cosmetic brush cleansers.


However, you can also simply use a good quality shampoo. Let brushes air dry. I do not recommend using a hair dryer to speed the process up. Heat damages brushes much in the same way it does hair and can cause the glue that binds the brush to it's handle to melt and ruin the brush.
the problem with cleaning the mascara brush is you end up with a clean brush but the same bacteria in the mascara itself, after so many uses. other brushes, like blush or powder shadow, wash fine with soap and water; let dry completely in air before putting back in a case.
I use baby shampoo once a month to clean my brushes in addition to the daily M.A.C. brush cleanser (I am a makeup artist) Both are very gentle, so when the brushes dry any leftover residue won't irritate your face....
yeah it's safe. It wont hurt anything.
