This sponge is best used dry to allow proper "baking" with the velvet puff. Use the sponge side to blend concealers over the face in a bouncing, patting motion and building coverage as desired. Use the precision tip to focus coverage in the under eyes or other hard-to-reach areas. Dip the velvet puff side of the sponge into loose or pressed setting powders to saturate with product, then gently press and roll the puff onto your skin to set makeup. If "baking" is desired, dust off any excess powder with a fluffy brush.
