5 Best Makeup Sponges Money Can Buy

These tools make blending a breeze.
5 Best Makeup Sponges Money Can Buy
By Jennifer Ford · Updated December 6, 2020

I own a ton of makeup brushes, but none of them come close to getting the job done quite like my go-to cosmetic sponges. I have more than one because they each do something magical for my makeup.

Since they’ve come into my life, liquids and powders set differently onto my skin. Formulas that were once detectable are now traceless. And not to mention, I also save money on brush cleanser.

The plush and inexpensive beauty tools can be used to apply everything from flawless foundation to concealer and setting powder in minutes, seconds if you’re a blending pro.

Article continues after video.

This travel season, leave your makeup brushes at home and lighten up your load with these feather-weight game-changers.
