Brushes & Tools
The tools that make everything else work
Good products applied with poor tools look like poor products. Brushes and sponges chosen for how they actually perform — soft enough not to drag, dense enough to blend properly, durable enough to last.
Brush or sponge — which should I use?
A sponge presses product into the skin for a sheer, airbrushed finish and is the more forgiving option if you're not confident. A brush gives more coverage and more control, and is faster.
Many people use both: brush to apply, sponge to press it in and remove any excess.
How do I clean my brushes and sponges?
Rinse sponges after every use, squeeze out the water and let them dry fully in the open air — damp sponges harbour bacteria.
Wash brushes weekly with gentle soap, reshape the bristles and dry them flat, never upright, or water runs into the handle and loosens the glue.
Do I need a full brush set?
Not to start. The All Over Brush handles foundation, concealer, blush, bronzer and powder on its own, which covers most people's daily routine. The 15-piece set makes sense if you do detailed eye work or you're building a professional kit.
