Love love love! I take meticulous care of my CHANEL, Laura Mercier and MAC brushes. And now a few Sigma brushes! I have had some brushes for 20 years that are in perfect condition.
But this mat is game changer. It makes washing the brushes so much faster. And it really gets the brushes clean. I no longer dread washing my brushes!
A little tip- I wash my brushes with Ivory liquid dish soap. It removes oils but it is still gentle. Laura Mercier used to recommend this before she started selling a brush cleaning solution.

overpriced
Nice pad but overpriced if you think about it. It's a piece of textured plastic.
Upside, it gets the job done.

Sigma Mat: Cool Tool but Pricey
This plastic textured silicone mat is an innovative, effective, time saving tool for cleaning brushes. After I received the mat, I spotted a square silicone potholder/jar opener/heat trivet with dual sided honeycomb texture in same material for $3 in the supermarket kitchen aisle. Bought the square and cleaned my brushes, worked like a charm. Has a hole at the top, put a ribbon through it and hang it up to dry on a hook. Returned the mat. Great idea, but I’d rather spend on beauty products than gadgets.

Cannot Live Without This!
I never thought I needed this... until now. Used it for the first time and absolutely in love with it! It's so simple. It's basically a silicone mat that sticks to your sink (tip: run water in your sink first and it will stick better) to help u clean your brushes. I have a lot of brushes and foundation brushes are the hardest to clean because foundation clings really well to the brush hairs. With this mat, my life became easier. Rather than taking me 30 minutes to wash my brushes swirling it in my hand or in a cup using more water and soap to clean, it cut my time in half and also i used less soap and water! The grooves really work themselves into the bristles and creates suds and lathers well. Then I just rinse with water and squeeze the excess water with my hands and lay flat to dry. I seriously did not imagine spending this price but it is well worth it and I am more motivated to clean my brushes more often now!

Great Brush Cleaning Mat
I didn't know mats like this existed until I saw it on the Nordstrom website. I purchased it immediately and it has helped tremendously in cleaning my brushes. The different sections helped to clean all types of brushes.

pink mat
Works way better than just rubbing brush on my palm and fingers. Brushes get much cleaner faster. I also bought the Bobbi Brown brush cleaner with it. I recommend both.

Great Tool!
I just love this mat. There is every kind of nook and cranny for cleaning all my makeup brushes, any size or depth, thoroughly. I purchased this one for my daughter and she also loves it. There are suction cups on the bottom for sticking it in the sink, which holds it in place. Then, just rinse and put away. Can easily be stored in a drawer or cupboard. Great item.

Hands Free
This has been super helpful! It’s great to not have to use your hands. If you have a lot of brushes, washing them can make your hands very dry. This is great for hands-free brush washing.

It really works!!
I was very skeptical of this mat when I purchased it. I read all the great reviews and saw how many really liked and ordered it, with Nordstroms excellent return policy you can't really go wrong. I ended up buying one for a friend, it worked so well!
WOW! My brushes have never been so clean! Really! I use the beauty blender soap in the pump and I saved so much soap with this mat. I had not washed my brushes in over 6 months and did all 48 of them in about 30 minutes with this mat. I am going to buy the brush rack and see if I love it just as much. If you buy it in the store i comes with a Sigma flat kabuki brush that I am in love with too!

user friendly, efficient
what a great little invention. No one likes brush cleaning days, but honestly, this little mat made it so much easier and kinda fun...if theres such a thing. It suction cups to your sink, down near the drain and the mat itself is labeled with the different areas for eye and face brushes and the 3 steps to get them clean. great purchase for sure!!

QUITE A LARGE SIZE MAT!!
I ordered this brush cleaning mat without without reading the dimensions. It does say that it is "small, convenient and ready to travel", but I can't agree with that description. I have specially designed bathroom sinks and it did not really fit in the bottom of my sink. All that said, I still think it is a brilliant idea for cleaning makeup brushes and for that large a mat, the price is fair enough, which is why I gave it 5 stars. I did return mine, although I'm still wondering if I should have just cut it up into smaller sections and used it. I have started using the brush cleaning mats that come in the Beauty Blender solid brush/sponge cleaner and like both the vinyl mats and the solid cleaner very much.

Great Find
I am absolutely in love with this mat! I have hand washed my brushes for years, and thought that they were getting cleaned. I was wrong. This make up mat and the different textures made cleaning the brushes so easy, and my brushes are so clean.
