Is the Beautyblender sponge worth it?
“The reason the beautyblender is worth the price tag is that it’s completely unique,” says Murdick. “The texture makes it so that as you apply your makeup, it’s simultaneously blending so you get a super seamless look to your makeup that you just can’t get with other sponges or foundation brushes.”
What is the difference between a Beautyblender and a beauty sponge?
Beautyblenders are designed to be soaked in water first before usage. This helps the sponge absorb less foundation, giving an airbrushed, poreless look. Another difference is you have to throw away latex sponges after using them, but Beautyblenders are reusable and can be used for three months before being disposed.
Are you supposed to throw away Beautyblender?
If you’ve been using the same sponge for a while and notice that it’s not as squishy or pillowy as it once was after cleansing, it might be time to toss it. Don’t forget–Beautyblenders are recyclable, as well as the canister it comes in! So when the time comes, make sure you recycle your sponge.

Why are some Beautyblenders so expensive?
Readings said Beautyblenders are “a little less dense” than the knockoffs, while Shackleton finds the cheaper ones can be scratchy and hard. “Everyone with a new product relies heavily on marketing, which adds to the cost of what you’re buying, so marketing does play a part,” Shackleton said.
How do I choose a beauty blender?
If you want a photo-worthy finish you should be looking for a beauty sponge that is egg-shaped. The egg shape allows you to use the larger portion for application to the basic areas of your face (cheeks, forehead, etc.). The smaller tapered end is used to blend foundation into the areas that are harder to reach.
Should you wet your makeup sponge?
Wetting your sponge thoroughly and letting it fully expand has to be your first step. Then, when you apply foundation or other product to it, it’ll already be full of water and won’t soak up so much product, saving you tons of product and money. When your makeup sponge is damp, it makes product application way easier.
Do Beautyblenders carry bacteria?
Researchers found makeup blenders to have the “highest levels of potentially harmful bacteria—with the vast majority (93 percent) not having ever been cleaned, despite more than two-thirds (64 percent) being dropped on the floor at some point during use.”
How do you dispose of a beauty sponge?
Whether you’re unwrapping your Beautyblender, blusher, or micro mini, you can rest assured that your packaging can be recycled. When you’re ready to dispose of your canister, just toss it into your recycling bin (here’s where that second bin in the bathroom comes in handy).
