the sponge

Best sponge I’ve used so far (better than RT)

I won this product in a competition and I'm glad I did because it is so handy. You can almost use it for everything like your foundation, concealer, powder, cremes and more. I don't find that this sponge soaks up my makeup as much as some other cheaper alternatives do and with enough blending, can make foundation and concealer seamlessly. Along with this beauty blender and a couple of …Read more

Works very well, but so expensive! Not worth it for me, because it doesn't last that long before getting gross (moldy after a month, even when I clean it with the beautyblender soap). I think the Real Techniques sponge is so much better in that regard: it's cheaper and lasts longer.

this is a thing that I can't live without ????

The thing that makes this sponge stand out from the others is how darn sturdy it is. I've had my beautyblender for five whole years, sounds disgusting but I give it a nice deep oil cleansing every weekend and it is working fine.

Other sponges I've tried such as quo and real techniques rip in half within 3 months. I honestly like the quo texture more than this one but I hated …Read more

I resisted this for a while, wondering what could be so great about a sponge. I like to apply foundation with my fingers so it didn't even seem like it would fit into my m/u routine. But after giving this a chance I will never go back. I don't use it to apply foundation but to buff and blend after I've applied blush and setting powder on top. Just bouncing/lightly pressing it …Read more

All these years I resisted. $20 for a sponge? Really, how could it be worth it? But one day I came across a sale/deal on the Too Faced website, some other products along with this for a great deal, and now I can't imagine ever being without a Beauty Blender again. I used the Real Techniques sponge before, and I thought it was good. Now I joke that using that sponge after using this …Read more

I resisted buying this for years because I just couldn't justify paying $20 for a beauty sponge...and then I bought one with a gift card and I was hooked. I had used a drugstore brand before (the orange one) and I like it well enough but they broke really easily. It is worth the hype. It is soft yet solid and so bouncy. My makeup applies flawlessly with my Beauty Blender. I will never go …Read more

Admittedly I don't wear foundation often (usually just CC cream for sheer coverage) but when I do...THIS is what I use to apply it. It makes applying any liquid foundation a whole new experience... I use less product, it goes on much smoother and somehow 'settles' into my skin better. Visually I can see a difference, normally with a blender brush it's as though my foundation …Read more

I was skeptical but I’m so glad I got it. It makes putting my makeup on so much quicker.
