Avoid cross-contamination caused by using fingers and double-dipping brushes into products in jars, pots, and foundation or color palettes. Using a makeup spatula is more sanitary and allows you to move products onto a clean mixing palette for blending, mixing, or thinning as needed. They're also great for sculpting, shaping, and smoothing effects materials. This reusable tool is essential tool for professionals and also great for use at home too! It is easy to clean, sanitize or disinfect and will last a long time with proper care.
