Real Techniques Sponge + Miracle Airlbend Sponge

Okay my makeup girlies, this is a must have! This (the blue one) is the only makeup sponge I can use now. I have tried every tool, every brush, every beauty blender, all the tricks and hacks and tips and tutorials, nothing even comes close to how flawlessly this applies my base..Most of the time I just use BB cream or tinted moisturizer and this gives me the perfect amount of coverage and so smooth and even. It's very close to an airbrushed look. If you're reading this, just go ahead and buy it. I just got a new tarte foundation brush for Christmas which has always been my go to but I have went back to using my little cheapo sponge because this thing is just the best. Now as for the pink one which is supposed to be used for powder, I am not the biggest fan. It's okay but not a game changer, same as using a triangle puff or a brush imo, except this is kind of awkward for me to use (maybe just feels weird to use a beauty blender for powder?) so I prefer my triangle puff.

Much better than the silicone feeling ones. Tears easily the more you use it; you’ll have to replace it often. Offers really good coverage.

I personally love this sponge its wonderful. I dont like using this damp since its a softer sponge. Dry is the best way to use it. Its great for dry products and cream foundation. Great for really working in the product on the skin. If using damp dont soak just spray the sponge with a little face spray and allow the moisture to absorb. Dont saturate unless your going for a super clean makeup look. Thicker full coverage foundations are better for this sponge.

This sponge feels a little flimsy. I like my sponges a little sturdier to apply foundation and powders. Nice color but wish it wasnt so flimsy.

absorbs all my make up and doesn’t blend concealer or foundation. Super low quality and hurts when applying because of how bad the material is, don’t buy.

I bought this cause my youngest daughter has destroyed all my other ones (the orange one)! This one is a different material than the original orange ones & it blends concealer effortlessly. I’ve only ever used this one dry, but always used the orange ones wet. I will continue to buy this over the orange one as it soaks up less product, so there’s less waste & it blends WAY better than the orange ones! I don’t know how long it’ll last, granted I’ve only had it about a week & it’s held up just fine so far. It’s very light, soft & easy to squeeze where as the orange ones are more firm I guess you’d say. Overall, I’d definitely recommend this blender for concealer & foundation. I’m hoping my little doesn’t get ahold of this one but it’s impossible to keep stuff “up” from her (she’s 8)! I purchased another one to hide just in case lol 😂

Unfortunately this ended up being the opposite texture of what I was hoping for. It's more spongey feeling. I tend to like the denser feeling and this is quite soft and squishy. I'll probably still use it for setting powder but if you prefer the denser blenders then this may be too soft for you.

Just as described my favorite sponge
