The dye bleeds out of these sponges like crazy during the first five washes. My hands and white towels turned pink the first time I wet it. Also, it molds way too quickly if you don’t leave it sitting in front of an open window or fan to dry. For the price point, you’d expect better color sealing and mold resistance.
A good makeup sponge can make such a difference to how foundation sits on the skin. I like tools that are easy to use and don’t require professional-level skills to get a decent finish. My only complaint with beauty sponges in general is keeping them clean. Why does washing makeup tools feel like a second job? 😭
I used to think makeup sponges were all basically the same until I started noticing how much the application tool changes the final look. A good sponge can make foundation look so much less obvious, especially around the nose where everything seems determined to gather. Beautyblender is one of those products I’d consider investing in if I use it often enough. The annoying part is cleaning it. I’ll happily spend time blending my makeup, but washing the sponge afterward? Suddenly I have seventeen other things to do. 😭 Still, the application experience is what makes a quality makeup sponge worth considering.
I used to think a makeup sponge was a makeup sponge. Then I tried a Beautyblender and had one of those annoying “ohhh, that’s why people like it” moments. 😂 My foundation goes on so much more evenly when I use it damp, and I don’t end up with random patches around my nose. My only complaint is that I somehow lose these things constantly. I have genuinely found one under my bed before. I’ve tried cheaper sponges, but I keep coming back to this one.
The original beautyblender really does make applying foundation easier. It gives me a smoother finish than using my fingers, especially around the nose. The annoying part is having to clean it regularly and replace it eventually. For the price, I still think it’s useful.
Nothing bounces foundation onto the skin quite like the original pink beautyblender sponge. When damp, it diffuses heavy full-coverage liquid makeup into a seamless, airbrushed finish. Combined with their liquid blendercleanser, it washes clean without tearing.
The Beautyblender makes applying foundation so much easier. It gives me a smooth, even finish without leaving obvious streaks.
I finally replaced my old makeup sponge with a Beautyblender after years of using whatever was cheapest. It does give me a smoother base, but I’m still trying to convince myself that a sponge needs to cost this much. Good product, questionable life decision 😂
Nothing blends foundation quite as seamlessly as the original pink sponge the texture is perfect. But the dye bleeding is frustrating. Every time I wash it, hot pink dye rinses out into the sink. It makes me nervous about what chemicals are absorbing into my face along with my makeup.
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.
