Should the powder puff be wet before use?

Whether the powder puff needs to be wet before use depends on the type of powder puff and the desired makeup effect.

Generally speaking, powder puffs can be divided into traditional powder puffs and beauty eggs (sponge powder puffs). Traditional powder puffs usually do not need to be wetted and can be used directly. They are suitable for applying liquid foundation, loose powder or compressed powder, and can provide a relatively smooth and concealing makeup effect. Beauty eggs, on the other hand, need to be wetted before use, because a wet beauty egg can help the foundation blend better into the skin, making the makeup effect more natural and docile.

In addition, for air cushion powder puffs, it is generally not necessary to wet it before use, because the air cushion cream itself has a light texture and contains moisturizing factors that moisturize the skin, and can be directly applied with the air cushion powder puff. If the air cushion powder puff is wetted again, it may dilute the air cushion foundation and affect the concealing function.

Therefore, before using the powder puff, you should decide whether it needs to be wetted according to the type of powder puff and the desired makeup effect. At the same time, whether the powder puff needs to be wetted or not, it should be cleaned regularly to maintain hygiene and makeup effect.
