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.
