Make-up Clash: Brush Vs Sponge; here's what you need to know

A lot of you love applying makeup but are confused between brushes and sponges. Let us tell you different impacts of both on make up as well as your skin.

• If brushes are old and not clean, their bristles may cause irritation to skin. Sponges are gentler on skin and cause less friction as compared to brushes.
• Brushes are better for applying make-up base as absorption of product is lesser as compared to sponges.
• Sponges are better options than brushes for dry and sensitive skin. For normal skin you can use either
• Using same brush for a longer period or not cleaning it can cause acne problems. Cleaning of brushes is important
• Thorough cleaning of sponges is equally important as it becomes moist after use and attract bacteria and germs but they take longer time to dry than brushes
• If you use either of them on acne prone skin, clean them immediately after every use.
