Make-Up Sponges
Product description
Grimas Make-up Sponges are used for applying all kinds of make-up. Make-up Sponges are available in a round shape (60x30mm, individually packed) and a rectangular shape (40x40x30mm, in packs of 3).
Procedure
The choice of whether to use a rounded or a rectangular Make-up Sponge is a personal one. The advantage of the angular Make-up Sponges is that there are 3 in a pack, making them relatively cheap. For reasons of hygiene, you should not use the same sponge on more than one person.
Cleaning
Make-up Sponges are disposable and are intended to be thrown away after use. Used and moist Make-up Sponges are a perfect breeding ground for bacteria and fungus. If you decide for economic reasons that you would like to use the Make-up Sponges more than once, rinse them out by hand after each use and wash them in the washing machine at a minimum temperature of 60C. Use a washing bag or pillowcase to protect both the Make-up Sponges and the washing machine.

Application
The shape of the Latex Make-up Sponges makes them good for getting at difficult spots and perfect for all finer make-up work.
For reasons of hygiene, you should not use the same sponge on more than one person.
Cleaning
Wash the Latex Make-up Sponge by hand initially each time, and then in the washing machine at a temperature of at least 60C. Use a washing bag or pillowcase to protect both the Latex Sponges and the washing machine.

Procedure
Hold the Stubble Sponge between the fingers and compress it gently, so that it becomes a bit convex. Take a little of the required make-up and use the sponge to dab it onto your hand to test the colour intensity. Then apply it to the skin with a dabbing motion: do not use a brushing motion, since this will spoil the structured effect.
For reasons of hygiene, you should not use the same sponge on more than one person.
