My favourite cosmetic sponge!

I love the quickie blending sponge and I would highly recommend it to others. It is easy to use and doesn't soak up the product like some cosmetic sponges. I use it damp for an even application of foundation and concealer. I use the flat, wider side for blending my foundation and other pointy side for applying concealer.

First sponge in a looong time!

I've bought this sponge for blending/applying my foundation and smoothing it out. Works like a charm.
I've also applied Shape Tape Concealer around my eyes and it applies very well.

My favorite

This is by far my favorite sponge ever. It blends concealer so easily without absorbing a lot of product. It is not super stiff like other sponges, so it really gets into hard to reach spots. Highly recommend.
