The Difference Between A Makeup Sponge & A Foundation Brush

 

 

If you love makeup and don’t own a makeup sponge, you may wonder if you’re the last beauty-obsessed person on Earth not to take the plunge. And if you’re loyal to your makeup sponge but can’t remember what a foundation brush feels like on your skin, you may have the opposite problem: you may no longer be sure if your modern makeup application is in fact, the best method possible. Do makeup sponges really beat out makeup brushes? That’s the million dollar question.

There are a few major differences between a makeup sponge and  foundation brush. Neither is better than the other, necessarily. It really all comes down to your skin type, the type of makeup you apply to your skin, and your personal preference. Above all else, you have to be happy with the feel of a tool on your skin and be able to say to yourself: oh yes, I look good!

If you’re on the fence about whether to buy a Runcaitang foundation brush or go back to a makeup sponge, allow us to provide just a bit more clarity.

 

Major Differences Between A Makeup Sponge And A Foundation Brush:

 

Reasons To Use A Foundation Brush

Foundation is notorious for being a little challenging to apply. It can take some practice to make it blend just so and look completely natural. Since the goal of foundation is to make it look like you have flawless skin, this can be hard. For decades, a simple foundation brush was good enough, and it still is for many makeup lovers. For one thing, a quality brush lasts longer than a sponge so you won’t break the bank having to replace it often. Here are a few more stand-out benefits of using a foundation brush:

If you have dry skin, you can apply foundation straight to your skin with a brush without dampening it first (something you should do when using a makeup sponge). Dry skin types need all of the moisture they can get and adding water to your face will only make your skin drier and could create a clumpy situation when it comes to your makeup.

Brushes also excel at full-coverage makeup. Brushes absorb less makeup on their bristles than a sponge. For that reason, you save money on the product in the long run and you can more precisely apply foundation to your face for full coverage that blends well.

Reasons To Use A Makeup Sponge

There are several great reasons why the makeup sponge has so many fans. For starters, it glides effortlessly over your face, which is especially helpful around the delicate eye area. Less pushing and pulling means less skin damage. Sure, you may spend more money on replacing your makeup sponges.

Most importantly, remember to clean your sponge. Please wash your sponge after every use. Sponges carry much more bacteria than brushes because the bacteria gets deeper into the sponge and can build up if not washed properly. Bacteria equals breakouts, so make sure that any makeup application tool that touches your face is clean.
