powder puff
Soft makeup tool
A powder puff is a soft pad used to apply cosmetic powder to the face or body, typically made of cotton, velvet, or synthetic material.
Figuratively, powder puff describes something weak, soft, or lacking toughness—often applied dismissively to sports leagues or competitions perceived as insufficiently rigorous: a powder-puff football league.
