The correct way to use a powder puff. Does the powder puff need to be wet before use?

A powder puff is a very common makeup tool, usually used for applying base makeup and setting makeup. There are many types of powder puffs on the market, and different powder puffs have different usage methods. So what is the correct way to use a powder puff? Does a powder puff need to be wet before use?

1. Squeeze out an appropriate amount of primer on the back of your hand. 2. Use your fingers to spread the primer to a range that is slightly smaller than the air cushion BB. 3. Press with the air cushion powder puff to allow the primer to adhere evenly to the surface of the air cushion powder puff (this method actually imitates the use of the powder puff in the air cushion BB). Remember not to squeeze a lump of primer on the powder puff and apply it on your face. It will be difficult to apply it evenly and there will be problems with powder eating. 4. Gently pat the entire face with the primer. If it is not enough, follow the steps above to add a little more and then pat it repeatedly. Don't rub it back and forth. The key is to pat it gently so that it will fit the skin better. 5. Isolation is a very important part of base makeup. It can help us isolate makeup and adjust the skin condition, so every corner must be applied.

It is not necessary to wet the air cushion powder puff before use, because our air cushion itself is more moisturizing. However, some water drop-shaped powder puffs or gourd-shaped powder puffs need to be wetted with water before use. Because generally speaking, these powder puffs are relatively stiffer than air cushion puffs, and they absorb powder more strongly. Moreover, to a certain extent, the air cushion puffs that come with air cushion BB cream or air cushion CC cream are relatively softer and less absorbent. Therefore, when using the air cushion powder puff, you don’t need to wet it at all to make your makeup look very close to the makeup. But remember that this situation of not needing to wet is only for some air cushions that come with softer materials.

If the powder puff is moldy, you can wash it clean. Scrub it with soap and then soak it in a mixture of 84 in proportion for a few minutes, then wash it with clean water and dry it. It is recommended to prepare more than two powder puffs for easy alternating use. For loose powder (foundation) with different shades of color, use different powder puffs or sponges. After using it for a week, scrub it with neutral detergent or soap and place it in a ventilated place to dry. The main reason for mold is that a certain part or all parts are not exposed to flowing air and wind, and they are very humid.

There are two main reasons why the powder puff turns black. First, when you use the powder puff, there is oil on your face, which will stain the puff and turn it black. Second, most cosmetic products contain chemical ingredients, and some ingredients will produce oxidation when they meet oxygen, which will also cause the powder puff to turn black. The human face is very prone to oiliness, and summer is a disaster area. The weather is so hot that the face will secrete oil, and even using oil-control products cannot completely solve this problem. If the face happens to be oily when applying powder, this oil will stain the puff black after it gets on it.
