Makeup puffs are basic tools used to apply foundation, loose powder, and other cosmetics to refine and complete makeup looks.
Various Materials: The material of the puff directly affects the user experience and makeup effect. Common materials include:
Sponge-type: Such as natural sponges (highly absorbent) and synthetic sponges (good elasticity), often used for applying liquid foundation wet, creating a smooth, dewy finish.
Polyurethane/Rubber Foam: Polyurethane foam puffs have a smooth surface and good hydrophilicity, providing a more delicate contouring effect; rubber foam puffs (such as nitrile rubber) are the mainstream in the market, durable and highly elastic.
Cotton or Synthetic Fiber: Commonly used for dry powder puffs, with strong powder absorption capacity, suitable for setting makeup, and soft to the touch.
Flocked/Leather Surface: Surface covered with fine flocking or with a leather-like texture, does not absorb much powder, maximizes the retention of foundation coverage, suitable for those seeking high-coverage makeup.
Silicone or disposable materials: Silicone powder puffs are easy to clean; disposable powder puffs emphasize hygiene and are suitable for travel or temporary use.
