I really can't get over the smell of the Crown Brush cleaner. It's very strong. I think I'll stick with the MAC Brush Cleanser.
Tip: I put mine in a spray bottle, and mix in 1/3rd water, this way I can spot clean easily, and my cleaner lasts longer.
If you are looking to give your foundation brush a nice cleaning, stop by a Michaels and get some Pink Soap brush cleanser/conditioner. I use this stuff prior to using an alcohol based cleanser and it really helps get the gross oily nasty stuff (foundation/concealer) out of my brushes. It even removes hard bits from when I tried to use a brush in a gel-eyeliner pot. It's for paintbrushes, I think, but it's super gentle and conditioning and it takes stuff out of my brushes that I didn't know existed. Plus it's cheap and the bottle I have has lasted me 5+ years :)
