There's no one-size-fits-all Beautyblender. The right one depends primarily on your skin type and makeup routine. However, when looking for a good Beautyblender, consider factors like the blender's material, size, density, and absorption rate. Additionally, consider how easy it is to clean and its allergenic features.

You should buy a new Beautyblender if your current one has visible damage, emits a foul odor, or develops mold. You should also get a new Beautyblender if you don't get the desired results after your makeup routine, resulting in a cakey finish. Generally, makeup experts recommend purchasing a new makeup sponge once every three months.
The terms Beautyblender and makeup or beauty sponge are often used interchangeably. However, while all Beautyblenders are makeup sponges, not all makeup sponges are Beautyblenders. Beautyblender is the proprietary brand name for our unique line of sponges that offer exceptional coverage and a flawless finish every time.
Your skin type largely influences this. Ideally, you should wash your beauty sponge at least once a week to remove makeup residue and dirt. However, if you have sensitive skin and are prone to breakouts, you should wash your sponge after every use.
Experts recommend that you use a wet beauty with water to prevent it from soaking up excess product. By wetting the sponge, you ensure that it stays hydrated and doesn't absorb too much of your foundation or other makeup products.
This technique also helps in achieving a more natural-looking, airbrushed finish, allowing your makeup to blend seamlessly into the skin. So, always make sure to thoroughly wet your Beautyblender with water before each use for the best results.
Simple. New Season. New Sponge. You should replace your Beautyblender once every three months if you wear makeup every so often or even sooner if you wear makeup daily.
Bonjour!
There are so many different kinds of makeup brushes and sponges out there now that is it hard to know what to choose for the perfect foundation application. Both can be good and, honestly, at the end of the day it all comes down to personal preference. For some women, using sponges is easier and, for others, it’s brushes all the way. I am here to help you decide which method best suits you.
Personally, I prefer brushes. I’ll use sponges once in a while – when I’m doing theatre make-up or a look where I need more coverage, but my go-to is a foundation brush!
You can warm up the foundation easily to aid in application and blending to obtain a flawless and natural effect. To ‘warm-up’ the foundation, you apply a small amount of foundation onto your hand (that’s your palette) and move your brush back and forth several times in the foundation before applying it. You will see that after doing that you will be able to blend the product more easily onto the face.
You can easily reach the tough spots on the face, like around the nostrils area, and choose your coverage. It is easier to buff, blend and layer foundation with a brush to obtain the result that you want, whether it be natural and translucent or flawless with more coverage!

Makeup brushes are more expensive than sponges so they can be a bit of an investment, but they will last you much longer and they are easier to clean and, not to mention, more hygienic. Also, nowadays lots of brands are offering good quality inexpensive brush options.
If you’d like to try brushes, then I suggest giving Morphe a try! They are a great value for their price, which is fairly inexpensive, and I’ve had some I’ve used for many years now and they’re still doing great. At a higher price point, MAC Cosmetics’ brushes are a pro’s go-to.
Sponges can be good, if not a little tricky. If not used properly, foundation will go on heavier – which is fine if you are looking for more coverage. A little trick is to get the sponge wet (humid – not dripping) before application. The foundation will then go on more naturally and smoothly. It really makes all the difference.
Makeup sponges can be great for blending (for my contouring girls!). But be careful, sponges have a tendency to absorb a lot of product so you’ll end up using a little more than with a brush. If you’re not careful it might get a little messy, too. You might get some foundation on your hands.
Sponges need to be cleaned and replaced often for the best results. Compared to brushes where, yes, we pay a little more but they last much longer, with proper care, of course. If you want to try them out, I suggest trying the brand Beauty Blender. They work great and come in so many cute colors!
I know some of you are asking yourselves, but what about our hands? Can we use them? You can, but I don’t recommend it. Not for the full application at least! I always end up using my hands during an application but always AFTER I apply with a brush or sponge. My hands are the final step. The heat from your hands help blend the product (if you have some streaks from the brushes, for example) and help lighten any excess product to the coverage isn’t as heavy.
If you use your hands for the whole of the application, it’s quite hard to get an even amount everywhere and without any streaks. And honestly, you’ll end up with more foundation on your hands than on your face! And the risk of staining your clothing is higher.
So to sum it up: Makeup Brushes = Very good! Makeup Sponges = Pretty good, too. Fingers = Under special circumstances, yes!
But honestly, when it comes down to it, it all depends on what you are more comfortable using and if you are getting the result you want with your usual application method. If you use a sponge, but don’t like the result then change it up a bit! And vice versa! And for all you finger users out there that think using brushes and sponges is too hard, I invite you to try it anyways because you might be surprised.
