Applying Make-up with a Sponge or Brush: Which Is Better?

Make-up brushes are available for eyeshadow, powder, and foundation. Using a brush allows you to apply foundation evenly and with full coverage. It’s best applied using circular motions.

The foundation sponge is an alternative to the make-up brush. It comes in round, oval, or teardrop shapes. Thanks to its porous texture, the sponge provides a natural finish. With a make-up sponge, you gently dab the foundation onto the skin. Sponges are particularly suitable for sensitive and dry skin.

Applying Make-up with a Brush: What to Keep in Mind

To work the make-up into the skin, use circular motions with the brush. Start from the center of the face and move outward. Pay special attention to the transitions around the neck, ears, and hairline. These areas should be well blended to avoid any visible lines.

How to Clean Make-up Brushes

The best make-up brush cleaner is regular shampoo. First, dampen the brush bristles with a little water and work a small amount of shampoo into them until it lathers. Then rinse the make-up brush under lukewarm water.

If you’re wondering how to clean your make-up brushes using household products, here are a few options:

  • Vinegar and lemon together create a cleansing mixture for your brushes.
  • Dish soap removes dirt just as effectively as shampoo.
  • Olive oil works not only as a cleaner but also as a conditioner to keep the bristles soft and bright.
