Okay I don't know how I EVER applied foundation before I found out about this little treat!! Who knew a 25$ sponge could be so wonderful but honestly it's worth every penny! Love it, if you don't have one..buy one

I will never go back to using another sponge again. I used to use the disposable triangle sponges and then bought some of the knock off versions of the beauty blender as I couldn't bring myself to spend $26 on a sponge but then a fiend gave it to me as a gift and now I will never go back. First off its more work then the disposable sponges, you have to wet it with each use and clean it regularly (they sell a solid and liquid soap for it which is very good but can be costly so you can also use baby shampoo or a mild soap). Also you need to make sure to let it dry out in the because if you put in inside something it will trap the moisture in and cause mold (this happened to my first one). This may seem like a lot of work for a makeup sponge but its totally worth it, if you take care of it, it can last a long time. I use a foundation brush to apply my foundation all over my face and then the sponge to stipple the foundation into my skin. I also use it for nights where I am going out and adding a cream contour. The sponge leaves my skin looking flawless and airbrushed so much so that when you take a picture with an HD camera you still manage to look poreless. I now buy this as a birthday gift for all of my girl friends and have slowly converted all of them.

This little sponge is the answer to my prayers. Without it, I would never be able to get foundation to lay smoothly on my dry skin. It is a little on the spendy side, but I have not tried a "dupe" that could compare.

Before getting a beauty blender, I tried cosmetic wedges and imitation sponges for a while. Both were decent, but in comparison to the beauty blender, I think there's a noticeable difference in makeup application. It really blends your makeup nicely, leaving you with a very natural finish (as opposed to blending with a brush). The only reasons I've stopped using it is because I find that it soaks up a lot of the product, in the process of making your makeup look natural. I also find that there's a higher maintenance when using the beauty blender - need to wash it more often, also harder to wash compared to brushes. I think there's a need to replace your beauty blenders because of all the germs that grow inside and how worn-down it can get, which is why I stick to my foundation brushes. Otherwise, I think it's a great product.

Love this so so much but if you're gonna get one make sure to be gentle with it when washing it because it can rip easily if you rub it hard or if you scratch it.

This is THE best way to put your foundation on. Although it is on the pricier side it is worth every penny. I was extremely skeptical at first and was not willing to spend the money for just a makeup sponge but the texture of the beautyblender is just so different from anything I've tried before. The foundation just melts into your skin and reveals a flawless finish when you use the beautyblender damped and "bounce" the foundation on. It does recommend to discard the sponge every 3 months which can get costly ($30 CDN x 4 times per year = $120 CDN) just for a sponge! But honestly, if you take good care of it and washes it on a daily/weekly basis I think it can last for a long time. Also, a great way to clean the sponge is by using a cleansing oil (I use the one for L'oreal). I squirt a few pumps right onto the sponge when its dry and squish it a couple times to really get the cleansing oil into the sponge to get every trace of foundation out. The beautyblender is also really great for baking your concealer. Overall, a must have for the makeup enthusiast!

Blends like a dream. Make sure you damp the sponge each time before use! It quickens up the process so much in the morning time. You can do a light coverage or build it up as much as you want.

While I find the Beauty Blender to be slightly pricey, I am so glad I decided to splurge and give it a try. It is so soft and applies facial cosmetics absolutely flawlessly! I use it every day for my primer, concealer, and foundation.

So this product has been so hyped up, and when people said this changed the way they did their makeup, i thought they were full of it. This sponge is my holy grail! I harder ever use anything else to apply my foundation and concealer. It blends your foundation like a dream, and makes it look great! I love the way i look when I apply my foundation with this sponge over my regular brushes. I use this to apply my foundation, concealer, and to blend my highlight, and it does the perfect job! There a little on the pricey side, but let me tell you, just try it once! There is nothing on the market that works as well as the Original Beauty Blender. There are many dupes, however, they just dont give you the same effect the beauty blender does, and trust me ive tried.

1# GOOD: This sponge does a remarkable job in blending foundation.Much better than brushes and in most cases better than your fingers..Works like magic..so smooth and flawless..
2# NOT_SO_GOOD: For the price..it is way overpriced.
