I’ve tried many makeup sponges, but Beautyblender still gives the smoothest application. It blends foundation effortlessly and helps create a natural-looking finish.
A reliable makeup tool that blends products seamlessly. It consistently delivers a smooth, natural finish.
The quality of Beautyblender sponges has gone completely downhill. I bought a new one last month from sephora, and it literally started tearing and ripping apart after the very first wash using their official solid cleanser. For $20 a sponge, it should last longer than a week without disintegrating. They must have cheapened the material.
The Beautyblender makes applying foundation so much easier and leaves a flawless finish. It’s soft, durable, and worth replacing my cheaper sponges.
I know people think twenty dollars for a sponge is crazy, but the original Beautyblender is irreplaceable for liquid skincare and foundation. I damp it with a bit of thermal water and use it to bounce my hydrating primers and tinted moisturizers into place. It leaves absolutely zero streaks, unlike a foundation brush, and creates an incredibly seamless, airbrushed texture that makes my skin look naturally flawless.
I finally understood the hype around Beautyblender after trying it myself because my makeup blended so much smoother compared to regular sponges. It makes foundation look more natural and less streaky on my skin.
Still the best makeup sponge out there. It blends foundation flawlessly and gives an airbrushed finish. I always come back to it even after trying cheaper alternatives.
I liked how soft the Beautyblender felt compared to cheaper sponges. The price is still higher than I think it should be.
I tried cheaper makeup sponges before but honestly the Beautyblender still blends makeup better for me. Foundation just looks smoother and less patchy. Annoying that it needs replacing often though.
The sponge feels really soft and blends makeup nicely. It gives a smooth finish compared to brushes. Downside is it wears out fast and needs frequent replacement.
Still the best makeup sponge, blends perfectly every time.
Foundation does not blend easily on my skin and feels heavy after application.
Nothing beats the original sponge. Blends foundation seamlessly every single time. I’ve tried dupes, but they never match up.
I like that I can use it damp to blend concealer under my eyes without tugging on my skin.
Gives a flawless and perfect blend.
Leaves a silky finish and my skin feels nourished.
wasting foundation!!
I’ve gone through several Beautyblenders because, yes—they blend foundation like a dream. But I can’t help feeling they wear out too fast for the price. After a few washes, mine often starts tearing. I still like it for cream blush and concealer, but I think there are dupes that perform just as well at a lower cost. A classic, but not perfect.
