FYI: I have very sensitive skin.
Hey I'm Sarah Gold and I'm wondering if I should use makeup applicators or makeup brushes cuz I always get both of them dirty. However, I would like something that is easy to clean. Thanks

I have sensitive skin and use a Beauty Blender that I wash after every use and let fully air dry. It's easy to clean and hasn't caused any irritation. I use brushes for my eye make up and wash those once a week..thoroughly.

I'm sorry, but I don't. I have a few select go to brushes and it's just become habit as I'm health conscious. I do, however, keep my brush cleaner on my vanity in my site line..perhaps that may help. :)

Thanks! My skin tends to change color depending on what light I'm in.

For my face (foundation and concealer) I like to use my fingers and for blush and eye make up I use brushes. as for the clearing part, I have two little cups in which I store my brushes. one is with clean brushes, one with dirty brushes. as soon as the cup with clean brushes is empty, you'll have to clean the dirty ones. this way you won't forget to clean the brushes and clean and dirty ones won't be mixed :(

Brush bc sponges absorb more than what actually goes on your face.

Brushes are easier and give a better finish. They're easier to blend etc! Applicators are harder to clean due to them absorbing too much product! E.l.f do some pretty good cheap starter brushes.

I have super sensitive skin and I use the real technique brushes, I can never be bothered to wash them because I'm lazy but they seem to stay in good condition and are easy applicators.
