Beautyblender® | Original Pink Beauty Blender Makeup Sponge, Super-Soft Foam Easily Blends Foundations, Powders & Creams, Made in USA, Reusable, Washable, Streak Free Application, Vegan, Cruelty Free

Once I learned that you’re supposed to wet your beauty blender before using it (lol) it was a game changer. It helps smooth out my foundation like nothing else. I have brushes galore but the one thing I still come back to, daily, is this.I also appreciate this one because it doesn’t change color and begin to look all muddled when it gets foundation on it. It might not be the prettiest color to begin with (though it does have a nice aesthetic look), it just stays so clean looking.It’s going to be unlike anything you’ve used to apply makeup. If you haven’t tried one yet, please do yourself a favor and try one. (And don’t smear. Do the tap, tap, tap to apply. But it won’t take you forever like some other methods feel like they do. It will blend it so fast). 🥰

What can I say! This is iconic for a reason, and there’s a reason why I buy this again and again. Amazing and honestly a game changer for make up application.

I loved it, going to repurchase

Beauty Blender hands down has the best makeup sponge! I can't tell you how many of these i've purchased in different sizes and colors for myself, gifts, etc. I especially like the black as it doesn't look "dirty" even when it's in need of a deep cleaning. I've kissed so many of my brushes goodbye and love the even application this provides!

I really like the BeautyBlender make up sponge; the resulting makeup finish is very nice, but not quite as spectacular as reviews claim.About the FINISHED LOOK: I was hoping for the air-brushed poreless finish that others have promised, however, it does NOT deliver that. It does, however, offer a smooth, even application that is somewhat akin to, but ever so slightly better that, a very careful fingertip application. Using this sponge (at the pointy end, for crevices) does have benefit of being more gentle on the eye area (where one should avoid tugging, etc). I DO find this highly superior to using a brush or "regular" make up sponge, but not significantly better than a good fingertip application.What I REALLY LOVED it for: Powers. While it less than impressed me with liquids, I was surprised to find that I truly loved it for applying powers and blushes. Good blending and non-caking finish. Excellent.Aside from it's good-but-less-than-promised results there are three NEGATIVES to note:1: Cleaning Issue #1. (Easily fixed.) Don't order the white one. Just don't. Get the pink. It's very hard to get the white one completely clean2. Cleaning Issue #2. Takes forever to rinse out. Keeping it clean and bacteria free is important, so you will clean it after each use. Which take several minutes. Any time you save by using this will be more than used up by the minutes (plural!) you spend cleaning your sponge. 3-5 minutes a day on "sponge care" is 2.5 to 4.5 minutes too many. Cleaners need to work better.3. Makeup hog. I find I use 30-50% more foundation than when using my fingers. It does soak up more than a bit of product.

The Original Beauty Blender lives up to all the hype! It’s my go-to tool for applying foundation, concealer, and even cream blush. The sponge is soft and bouncy, making it easy to blend products seamlessly into my skin. It gives me a flawless, airbrushed finish every time, without any streaks or harsh lines.I love that it’s versatile—you can use it wet or dry depending on the type of finish you’re going for, and it works equally well for liquid or powder products. The texture is gentle on the skin, and it doesn't absorb too much product, which means I get the most out of my makeup.Cleaning it can be a bit of a task, but with the right cleanser, it’s not too difficult, and it lasts for a long time with proper care.Overall, the Original Beauty Blender is worth the investment for anyone looking to achieve a flawless, smooth makeup application. I highly recommend it!

Edit: PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU BUY FROM A TRUSTED SELLER! A lot of the 1 star reviews are from people who received dupes or counterfeits from amazon sellers. I've had counterfeit items sold to me and even FULFILLED BY AMAZON in the past so I was especially careful to find one from a seller with 100% feedback - Lock & Mane sells real beauty blenders. (If you order from amazon directly, not just fulfilled by amazon, you will also find a real one) I can't imagine anyone comparing this to a store bought sponge, the actual authentic beauty blender is a huge step up it's not even funny.I WISH I COULD GIVE THIS MORE STARS. I just finished my first application with this beauty blender and I was SO blown away that I went straight here to write this review. I bought both a flat Kabuki brush from beauty junkees and this sponge. Prior to this I was using a regular store bought make up sponge which I assumed the beauty blender would be a slightly better version of, holy crap was I wrong.The Flat kabuki brush was the first thing I tried, and it buffed my make up out easily and left a heavy coverage that looked better than it would have if I'd have attempted it with a generic make up sponge and with less product waste. Unfortunately if you got within 2-3 feet of my face, I looked like a hot mess. The make up was very obvious and made my face look really gross. At this point I really thought it was impossible to wear foundation and have it look like you weren't caked in make up and I got really discouraged.Today I tried the beauty blender. I was just planning on covering only a few problem areas after the make up mess the kabuki left, but as soon as I started to dab it on my skin and saw how different it looked, I kept going. When I was done I looked in the mirror and I was really impressed, but it wasn't until I got really close up that I noticed how AMAZING it looked even from a shorter distance. If you get close enough you can still tell you're wearing make up, especially around the dry spots of my face, (I mean dry flaky skin, not just dry areas) but unlike the Kabuki brush it looks way, way better. It doesn't looked caked on by any means, and it has a much more skin like texture. I feel so gorgeous in my foundation for the first time EVER. I have never gotten my foundation to look this natural or this flattering, just when I was about to give up foundation for good. (ahah well except for bad break outs) AND THE BEST PART which I almost forgot about, is that I used maybe 1/2 to 2/3rds of the foundation I used to. I even had some left over on my hand because I assumed it would take more! This sponge is amazing.The kabuki brush is still a good product if you need heavy coverage to hide a lot of pimples or redness, but if you don't need a lot of make up and you want a more natural looking foundation, the beauty blender is the most amazing thing I've ever tried. I seriously cannot recommend it enough, I've never been more impressed by a product.
