This product was my first experience with makeup sponges. I have not tried the famous beauty blender and cannot compare, but really enjoyed using this product. Similar to the beauty blender, you wet the sponge until it expands and squeeze it to empty out the excess water, you dab your makeup on.

I really loved this sponge and did see the difference from apply makeup with a brush versus this. I especially love it for apply on under eye concealer as it goes on much smoother.
