Is a foundation brush really better than a beauty egg? Will using a foundation brush every day damage your skin?

The foundation brush is a very common makeup tool. It can help us apply makeup quickly. The foundation applied by the foundation brush will be more translucent and the makeup effect will be very beautiful. It is a product that is very worthwhile to invest in.

In fact, don't worry about this kind of question. No one is better than the other. If you want to choose, you should consider two points:

1: Base makeup texture

If your base makeup product is thin and has strong fluidity, then it is suitable to use a brush, and the makeup will be very smooth. If it has poor fluidity and dries easily on the face, it is best to choose a wet beauty egg, which will make it more even and thin when patted.

2: Skin type

Oily or mixed skin with many blemishes is more suitable for beauty sponges. For neutral or dry skin with few blemishes and delicate skin, foundation brushes are more recommended; in general, if your makeup skills are not good enough, it is not recommended to use foundation brushes. Beauty sponges are more suitable for beginners than foundation brushes. A wet beauty sponge will make the base makeup more shiny and easier to use. First understand your skin condition, and then choose the makeup tools that suit you, so that you can get twice the result with half the effort.

There is no harm in using a foundation brush, but if you don't clean it for a long time, it will affect your skin health, cause acne, and cause skin allergies. Whether it is a blush brush, eye shadow brush, lip brush, etc., you must clean it regularly, once a week, or once every two weeks. The foundation brush is a makeup tool. Generally, only beauty bloggers have a complete set of brushes. Ordinary people will prepare a blush brush. Regardless of any type of brush, it must be cleaned regularly. You can put in an appropriate amount of detergent or makeup remover. If you don't clean the foundation brush, it will breed a lot of bacteria, which is very bad for the skin over time. During the cleaning process, you should clean it along the direction of the brush head. Don't clean the handle of the foundation brush, which will cause the brush to become loose and fall off, and the hair will fall off. In addition, the newly bought foundation brush should also be cleaned. After all, there will be some dust residue in the production process of the makeup brush. It will be safer to use it after cleaning. If you want to clean your makeup brushes more thoroughly, you can use soap or detergent, then rinse them with running water. Do not use hot or warm water to clean them, otherwise the makeup brushes will deform. After cleaning, use a paper towel to absorb the moisture, and then place them in a dry and ventilated place to dry. The materials of makeup brushes are different, so the cleaning methods are different, but no matter what material the makeup brush is made of, it should be cleaned with cold water.

Don't wet the foundation brush before use.

Most foundation brushes cannot be touched with water, and the makeup effect of a wet foundation brush is not good. So if you feel it is dry, you can directly add a little lotion to the liquid foundation and stir it well, so that it is not so dry. The only time you need to touch the foundation brush with water is to clean it.

1. After basic skin care, apply primer. Squeeze liquid foundation on the back of your hand. If you are afraid it will be dry, you can add a little lotion and mix well.

2. Use a brush to dip the liquid foundation and apply it evenly. Then brush it directly on your face, from the inside to the outside, with more force inside and less force outside. Brush the whole face carefully, paying attention to the control of force, otherwise it will leave powder marks.

3. When applying, pay attention to the details such as the corners of the mouth, under the eyes and the wings of the nose, and use the brush to gently apply the foundation. Finally, apply a thin layer of loose powder.
