Pretty Puff makeup sponge

The Pretty Puff sponge is the best of both the beauty-blender facial makeup sponge and wedge-shaped makeup sponge concepts. This facial cleansing sponge has a unique rounded teardrop design like the beauty-blender for difficult-to-reach areas and has a flat edge for patting, pressing, and pushing makeup into the face skin. These features of the sponge give you an airbrush finish. Not to mention it has that fancy hydrophilic foam, as well then that your makeup goes on your face and not into your puff sponge.

How to use this makeup sponge:

Like the other beauty-blender, all you need to do is get the Pretty Puff wet, squeeze all the excess water, and blend.

  • The good: The Pretty Puff makeup sponge has been proven to last longer than other types of blenders, which speak to the quality.
  • The bad: Consistent cleaning is necessary to get longevity out of the Pretty Puff and prevent bacteria from breeding. Using a alcohol spritz, brush cleaner, or even dish soap will do the trick.

Silicone makeup sponge

Next up is the silicone makeup cleansing sponge. It is considered the newbie on the block when it comes to the world of beauty care sponges. The silicone makeup sponge is most commonly flat shaped with round edges and used to apply liquid or foundations. Silicone provides an exceptional advantage because it does not absorb a sole ounce of your coveted splendor products.

Using a silicone makeup sponge

Mark foundation onto your skin first and work your beauty product into the skin with a small pushing motion using the silicone sponge. Blend advance with any porous sponge options.

  • When to use this facial cleansing sponge: Silicone makeup sponges can use for cream makeup applications. They will not work correctly for powder.
  • The good: The non-absorbing material saves you from misuse or waste of beauty products. Moreover, a silicone makeup sponge is not porous like the other beauty blenders or wedge-shaped makeup sponges and does not dock any bacteria. It is very easy to clean, sanitize and reuse to the heart’s desire.
