Did you know that the kind of sponge that you use has a specific purpose? It just amazed me when I got to know about that. Let’s see some of their types.

 

  1. Disposable makeup sponge 

Have you ever used a fluffy blender that tends to break easily? All those triangle wedges, round cosmetic sponges, and oval contouring sponges fall into this category. If you need heavy coverage, disposable makeup sponge can be the best choice. Since they don’t absorb a lot of product, you can use them for baking under-eye. These can be used a few times and then discarded. 

 

  1. Beauty Blender

Beauty blenders are everywhere these days. You might have seen or even owned those bright pink, egg-shaped sponges for doing makeup. Using beauty blenders gives your skin that airbrushed finish and natural look. When they are wet before use, they don’t soak up a lot of product which is always great. There are different shapes of beauty blenders in the market, like flat-topped, angular versions, tear-dropped shaped, and many more.

 

  1. Air cushion puffs

As the name suggests, they are very soft and pick the right amount of foundation to apply to your skin. They are suitable for every skin type and give the perfect coverage to liquid products. You can get a sublime smoothness for foundation, BB cream, Primer, or sunscreens. They mostly have a sensitive exterior hence might not last as long as a beauty blender. You have to wash the sponge at least once a week. 

 

  1. Silicon sponge 

Silicon sponge doesn’t waste any product. Since it is silicon and there are no holes for air to pass, it does not absorb any product. You only need to use a tiny amount of products and get the most out of it. Silicon sponges offer a higher coverage look and give the no-makeup- makeup look. They are environmentally friendly as they reduce the consumption of cellulose sponges and last longer. In addition to that, they don’t harbour bacteria but need to be cleaned time and again. The cleaning process is convenient as they don’t emit a musty smell and can be easily cleaned with hot water or in the dishwasher. 

 

There are different sponges available in the market. They make your makeup time much better.
