works wonderfully [SEP] i have enjoyed having this makeup brush cleaning mat very much it makes my weekly brush cleaning a breeze as it has significantly cut down on the time it takes to wash all of them i have an obsession with makeup brushes i considered ordering one from sigma but just couldn t justify the price the quality is great and it still looks as good as the day i got it the makeup sponge that comes with the set is terrible so i just gave it to my daughter to add to her pretend makeup the smaller heart mat i gave to a friend and she said it works well
