Beauty Quickie: It is natural to assume that the best way to soak up oil is by applying powder to your face. A good plan indeed…well, at first anyway.

Fight! Just kidding, but really which one is better when it comes to makeup application, a foundation brush or makeup sponge? Everyone has their own preferences, but knowing the pros and cons may help you weigh your decision.
In the long run makeup sponges are more likely to cost you more money. Why is that you ask? While they are useful at 
helping you to apply cosmetics, they soak up a lot of liquid foundation. In the grand scheme of things your sponge is probably sucking up more makeup than what actually winds up on your face.
Okay, so what about the foundation brush, what is it’s deal? Foundation brushes allow you to be more precise during application creating a more even look. Moreover, you will waste less makeup because you are using just what is actually needed.
