"Powders can be applied with brushes or with powder puffs. Powder puffs are great if you are just doing a one time application or there's a lot of concern as far as bacteria or sanitary concerns in general. Powder puffs are disposable, so that's a great way to just use them and then get rid of them. Brushes are a little bit more durable. I really love real hair brushes when it comes to a good powder brush. Make sure they're nice big and fluffy so you can cover large areas in the face. A great way to ensure the longevity of your brushes is to really frequently wash them. What I personally love to do is use a mild baby shampoo, and rinse your brushes with lukewarm water and a mild baby shampoo. And then to dry then, lay them on the edge of your table so the air can circulate around the entire brush and everything will dry evenly without creating any mold. Don't ever use a blow dryer on them."
