Wet puff, also known as sponge puff.

Makeup function – used to apply foundation, allowing the foundation to be evenly applied to all details of the face.

Types – available in round, diamond, triangular, and rectangular shapes on the market.

A round puff – large area, good feel, suitable for applying to larger areas, such as the entire face and body powder. Especially suitable for beginners and a must-have for studio makeup artists.

B diamond-shaped and triangular puffs – smaller in size, with a smaller contact area with the skin, suitable for applying foundation to smaller areas, such as nose contours, T-zone, and chin. Easy to carry, especially suitable for on-location touch-ups and bridal makeup services. However, due to their small size, they require longer application time and can be difficult to handle, making them more suitable for experienced makeup artists.

Usage tips – always use the clean side of the puff when applying makeup to ensure a snug, long-lasting, and clean finish.

Usage technique – before using a clean new puff, soak it for a while, then squeeze and wring it out repeatedly with a dry towel to keep it moist. A moist puff helps the foundation adhere better and appear more translucent.

Cleaning technique – you can divide a sponge into four parts: left side of the surface, right side of the surface, left side of the inside, and right side of the inside. Use one part for different types of foundation, and wash thoroughly with soap after four uses. The sponge becomes moist from absorbing water in the foundation, which can lead to bacterial growth, so thorough cleaning is essential for skin safety and health.

Maintenance method – after cleaning the puff, place it in a ventilated area to air dry naturally, avoiding direct sunlight.

Reminder – if the puff feels rough against the skin after frequent washing and the edges are frayed, it’s time to replace it with a new sponge. In the photo studio, you can use the saved old puffs for body powder.

Dry puff

Color function – loose powder, dry powder evenly and lightly on the face, and at the same time can also play a role in setting makeup.

Types – Dry puffs on the market are divided into cotton and chemical fiber according to the material.

Cotton puff – a common tool for makeup artists. It has a good texture, good touch, strong adsorption capacity, and is easy to set makeup.

Chemical fiber puff – the price is lower, but it is not recommended to use it, and the customer will not feel comfortable.

According to the form, it is divided into detachable and non-detachable and washable. It is generally recommended to use the detachable and washable type, which is convenient and hygienic.

Tips – Freshly bought puffs also need to be washed before use to give the skin a gentle and comfortable feel. Keep the surface of the puff fluffy and don’t make it hard. Puffs are used throughout the makeup process, so experienced makeup artists will have more than two clean puffs for easy replacement.

Cleaning tips – Dry puffs are washed daily to ensure cleanliness, which is important to keep your makeup clean. If you lose the gentle touch when using it, you need to wash it with soap. After washing the puff, do not twist it by hand, roll it with a towel to squeeze out the water, and then dry it thoroughly in a cool place. If the puff becomes hard after drying, rub it gently with your hands.

Care – Try to pack the puff in a separate box to keep it clean and not mixed with other makeup products.
