How to Choose Beauty Tools? Makeup Brushes and Beauty Sponges
AI Summary: Makeup tools affect how well makeup adheres to the skin. For makeup brushes, consider bristle elasticity, powder pickup, and comfort. For beauty sponges, focus on bounce, pore size, and application method. Synthetic fiber brushes are durable and easy to wash, and different brush shapes suit different areas. Beauty sponges are mostly used damp and should be replaced regularly and dried to prevent bacterial growth.

Residual makeup can affect both application results and skin.
