“Powders are better applied with makeup brushes, but liquid and cream products blend best when applied with a sponge," says Loiz. Smaller sponges, on the other hand, can be great for precision application and hard-to-reach areas. It comes down to a matter of preference, but large sponges can cover a larger surface area, making them great for blending. When it comes to makeup sponges, size matters. A great makeup sponge will be easy to clean and keep dry to avoid product buildup and bacteria. The ideal makeup sponge has a soft texture so that it’s comfortable to use, and it should also be flexible so that it can bounce and bend to distribute the product. Lower density sponges are better for blending light to medium coverage foundations. A high-density brush will be great for seamlessly applying a full coverage foundation. The denser the makeup brush, the less porous it is-which means it’s less likely to absorb all of your products.
