The tools you use matter just as much as the products you apply. Each one – whether it’s a brush, sponge, or puff – creates a different kind of finish, coverage, and texture on the skin.
At noelle, we believe there’s no one “right” way to apply makeup. It’s about finding what feels best for your routine – and understanding what each tool does.
Brushes: for precision and buildable coverage
Brushes are your most versatile tool. They let you control placement, blend evenly, and build coverage exactly where you want it.
Our brushes are made with soft, synthetic bristles that pick up and distribute product smoothly – never streaky, never patchy.
- For base: Use Brush 24 for seamless foundation and tinted moisturizer.
- For powder: Brush 01 gives an airy, even set without dulling your skin.
- For blush and contour: Brush 04 shapes and blends naturally without harsh lines.
Brushes give you balanced, soft-focus finish – perfect for everyday wear or when you want more control.
Pro tip: Keep your brushes clean with our Makeup Brush Cleanser Spray for quick touch-ups, or the Makeup Brush Cleaner for deeper rinse. The Cleaning Crew Bundle includes both, keeping your brushes in perfect condition longer.
Sponges: for soft, skin-like blending
Sponges are ideals when you want a natural, skin-like finish. They help melt cream and liquid formulas into your skin for a blurred, diffused effect – without harsh lines.
noelle offers several types to match your look and technique:
-
3/1 Makeup Sponge Set
A set of three versatile sponges made for foundation, concealer, or cream blush. Use them damp for soft coverage, or dry for more control over sheer formulas. -
Save & Blend Set 2/1
This duo includes a pink sponge to use dry and a purple sponge designed to be used damp. The purple one has a silicone-like layer that reduces product absorption, so you waste less – ideal for bolder formulas. -
XL Makeup Sponge (Face & Body)
A larger sponge built to cover broad areas. Great if you’re applying tinted moisturizer, body makeup, or want to finish the neck and chest region seamlessly.
Puffs: for setting, smoothing & final finish
Puffs are your go-to tools for applying and setting powder – they help fix makeup without disturbing the layers underneath.
-
Puffmallow Blending Puffs 2/1
These are soft, marshmallow-textured puffs made from rubycell foam, designed for seamless blending and setting across your face. -
Puffmallow Blending Puffs 5/1
A smaller, more precise version – the mini five-piece set is ideal for targeted areas like under eyes, around the nose, and touch-ups throughout the day.
Which one should you use?
It depends on your look and your routine:
- Brushes: controlled, even, buildable coverage.
- Sponges: soft, skin-like blending and glow.
- Puffs: smooth, matte, perfected finish and touch-ups.
They’re all tools with different strengths – and the best routine usually mixes a few of them.
You don’t need every tool – just the right ones. Whether you love the control of a brush, the softness of a sponge, or the finish of a puff, what matters most is how it fits into your own rhythm.
At noelle, we design tools that work together – minimal, functional, and made to last – so you can focus on what really matters: how it feels.
