A powder puff (also outdated: powder puff, m.) Is an instrument for applying loose powder, sometimes powdered blush , to the face.
application
The powder puff is dabbed into the powder , tapped and then brushed onto the face without pressure . Large, fluffy powder puffs are the better alternative to powder brushes.
nature
Originally, powder puffs were made from natural hair in the form of a strong brush. Today they are mostly available in flat or rounded shapes made of foam, velor, plush or velvet.
The Krünitz lexicon of 1773 describes that powder puffs were also made from swan skin, that is, the peeled, processed skin of a swan in which the particularly soft down feathers are still stuck.
The brush and tassel should be cleaned once a week with shampoo or washing gel in lukewarm water. Most powder puffs can also be washed in the washing machine at 40 ° C in a laundry bag .
