How do I clean my makeup brushes?
To keep your brushes in great shape, start by rinsing the bristles under lukewarm water to remove any leftover makeup. Add a little gentle soap or brush cleaner, then swirl the brush in your palm or on a cleaning mat to break down buildup.
Rinse until the water runs clear, then gently squeeze out excess water and reshape the bristles. Lay your brushes flat on a towel or hang them upside down to dry completely—this helps prevent water from getting into the handle and loosening the bristles.

Should I apply my foundation with a makeup sponge or brush?
It depends on the finish you want! A damp makeup sponge gives a natural, seamless look—just wet it, squeeze out excess water, and dab the foundation onto your skin. For more coverage, use a foundation brush. Flat foundation brushes give a smooth, polished finish, while dense or stippling brushes create a more airbrushed effect.
