Never write reviews but had to share with this one. This is simply the best sponge I have used. I use it wet to apply my Stuido Fix foundation, and the application is so even and natural that people think I have changed my foundation.

worth the price. worth the online order. I wont be caught without these

These are fantastic sponges. I typically use either the BeautyBlender sponge or a La Mer foundation brush, and while both are great, sometimes i just want a regular sponge. They're dense, good-quality and really help with super-smooth and even application of my foundation. I wasn't aware of the fact that they're re-usable, so I'll definitely wash them a few times before tossing. MUCH better than any drugstore sponge, by a mile.

Excellent for blending out my RCMA foundation when damp, and they're not flimsy at all. Will definitely repurchase the next time I order from Camera Ready Cosmetics since they're not available in stores in my area.

Bought these on a whim after getting out the mineral powder makeup track because it was so messy and I was tired of having powder on every surface of my bedroom. Soo, I needed a good tool to go along w/my new liquid foundation since my Cat brush wasn't cutting it. Found these, bought these, loved these!. It's been a year now and I bought a whole load of these for next to nothing+they work!. After numerous washings and uses, they still look brand new and they're soft and silky and wonderful. Very gentle on the face and they dont soak up all your foundation so that u have to use alot of it. I just wet the sponge, dry it a lil on a towel, and then apply. It's so easy, a caveman could do it!. Lol

LOVE this product! I use the sponge every day to put on my foundation. It does not flake, and it is extremely high quality. No wonder a lot of make-up artists use this product. The foundation goes on evenly on my skin, and I know that this sponge contributes to the result. People, do not use the drug store triangle sponges, because this one is so much better. It comes with 8 sponges, and costs around $3 or so. I wet my sponge to put on my foundation, and it really does a great job. Alcone also makes a good puff to set the make-up. Highly Recommended.

These are the only makeup sponges worth buying. Not one other brand I have used can touch them. They are very thick and dense, so they pick up the perfect amount of foundation for blending. They are smooth and don't drag on the skin. They are huge and can be custom-cut into smaller pieces for whatever purpose your heart desires (that is what they do at the Alcone store in Manhattan). They clean well, and they don't cost much either. Order them on the Internet if you aren't in the NY area. They will be worth it, I assure you.

I received these in a swap from a very knowledgable MUAer these are the best...They are top notch I hate the feel of cheapy sponges. I prefer sponges over foundation brush I just can't get the hang of it. If you are a sponge user get your hands on these.

Always need my trusty sponges. These work well at applying foundation, concealor, or patting in my blot powder. Generally use one a week, washing in-between uses. After a weeks worth of washings, they tend to crumble. Will most likely rebuy, although Target brand makeup sponges tend to be softer and wear better after washes, though these are more convient to find and a bit cheaper.

These are the greatest makeup sponges on the planet. No other sponges (low or high end) even begin to compare. They impart a flawless, even finish when applying foundation. The sponges glide across the skin. They don’t absorb foundation, so you don’t waste makeup when using them. The sponges are inexpensive too – another bonus.
