How to Use a Makeup Sponge – Useful Tricks

The foundation sponge took the hearts of makeup artists by storm, and then hundreds of girls who have since been unable to imagine applying makeup without using it. No wonder, because a good quality makeup sponge will allow you to precisely distribute the fluid to your face and create a good base for your entire makeup. What's more - depending on wet or dry use, you can achieve completely different effects.

What are the main advantages of a silicone makeup sponge over a blender?

• It is perfect for applying foundation, concealer and more.
• The silicone makeup sponge is resistant to damage, e.g. by fingernails.
• Its ideal porosity means that it almost does not absorb any cosmetics, so we use much less of it.
• The foundation sponge is easy to clean. All you need is soap, oil or our Magnet Cleanser. Of course, you need to dry the sponge after washing so that it doesn't get moldy.
• It is anti-allergic, so it can be used by anyone.

How to use a foundation sponge?

1. First, wet the sponge thoroughly with water. Wait a moment. After this, it should increase in size.
2. Squeeze out excess water using a disposable paper towel, for example. The sponge needs to be only slightly damp.
3. Apply foundation to your hand, then use a sponge to pick it up and gently spread it over your face.

Our sponge can also be used to apply concealer or eyeshadow. In this case, you can use the narrower end of the sponge or choose the mini version to apply the product directly and precisely to selected areas. If you want a more delicate effect, apply the shadows with a dry sponge. A damp one will work better for evening make-up.
