A hybrid routine uses brushes where they work best and sponges where they work best. Brushes are quick for buffing foundation and placing powder products, while sponges are good for pressing in coverage and softening edges. Using both usually gives a smoother finish than relying on just one tool.
Which tool for which step?
| Step | Tool | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Foundation | Brush, then sponge | Brush for speed, sponge to blend |
| Concealer | Small brush or sponge tip | Precision |
| Powder | Brush or triangle puff | Light layer or pressed set |
| Blush and bronzer | Brush | Controlled placement |
| Eyes and brows | Small brushes | Detail |
