beautyblender

The original beautyblender was game-changing when it first came out and there are now lots of copies/knock-offs (Some good and some not) but for the price? I will use a knock off. That said, I have to have a study sponge applicator in my arsenal for foundation, concealer and contouring.\ A great invention in its time.

I really have a hard time with concealers. I really expect alot: hydrating, long wearing, waterproof, crease proof, not settle into my fine lines and wrinkles under my eyes. I purchased this online at Sephora and used it once. I returned it because I have severe allergies and my eyes tear up alot. At the end of the day, the inner corner was completely gone. I know this is not a waterproof concealer, but even with setting powder, it was all gone. It just won't do for me. The formula is very nice and easy to apply. The wand is quite nice, even though too much product comes out for me personally. The formula is not sticky, but so creamy and easy to blend out. The wand helps to get the product into the corner of my eye since I have small eyes. The coverage is full until it starts to wear off. I really was impressed with the coverage. It did settle into my deeper eye wrinkles. This is a hydrating concealer, no dryness and it felt good and light under the eyes AND brightens. If this stayed all day, I would have kept it, but nope. PRO: love the thick formula, but it is not tacky CON: wears off in the inner corner of my eyes. I was hoping to find locally, but nope, had to order online so hard to color match.

Pros Very soft Very absorbent Pretty smooth finish Picks up liquid makeup well Cons Expensive in the long term Best sponge I’ve used so far (better than RT)
