Beauty sponges have become a staple tool ever since makeup enthusiasts discovered it. However, creative and innovative-minded entrepreneurs have produced sponges in different forms, shapes, and purposes, too, in recent years. From a RM99 Beautyblender to a RM1.89 makeup sponge, here’s a list of best makeup sponges for you to achieve a flawless complexion.
The iconic egg-shaped Beautyblender is a latex-free and hypoallergenic makeup sponge that gives you a streak-free application. Whether it’s dampened or not, Beautyblender still gets the job done amazingly well. Plus, it is especially useful when used with liquid foundations.
Real Techniques’ Miracle Complexion Sponge is the best budget-friendly alternative. Unlike the conventional egg-shaped sponge, this one has three sides for different uses. For instance, the rounded side is for blending, the precision tip is for covering blemishes, and the flat edge is for contouring. Also, the density of this miracle sponge is just perfect for blending practically all kinds of makeup base.
The Fenty Beauty Sponge has a super-soft plush feel which makes blending cream products pretty effortless. Additionally, the flat side of the sponge is good for a precise application such as placing powder under the eyes to set your concealer. Besides, you can use it to highlight below your cheekbones for a chiselled, clean-cut contour look.
Juno Co Microfibre Velvet Sponge is the first makeup sponge of its kind. The sponge is coated with a layer of thin velvet that’s supposed to be 50% more eco-friendly compared to ordinary sponges. To sum it up, this sponge is basically a brush and sponge hybrid.
