First time user, impressed with application
This is my first time using a make up sponge and I was highly impressed. I used liquid foundation a couple years ago and couldn't get a smooth application. My fingers left my face looking splotchy and a foundation brush applied the liquid too thick. I switched to mineral powder foundation for better coverage, but it's messy and not travel friendly. I saw this and wanted to try it. I have no other brands to compare it to, but these are my impressions: It's about the size of an egg, it becomes nice and soft and expands when submerged in water. I watched a couple youtube videos for guidance on the technique. I put some liquid makeup on the back side of my hand and dabbed it on. I had great coverage after about two layers. The sponge provided good coverage for my redness and I did't get any irritation like I normally do from my mineral brush sweeping across my sensitive skin. Overall, I am really glad I purchased this. It seems like a good density sponge that won't fall apart. The packaging says this should be washed after every use and replaced every two months. I'm looking forward to taking it on my upcoming trip and not worrying about all my mineral make up sifting through the lid during travel! I received this item at a discount in exchange for my review, but will definitely purchase again before paying 3 times the cost for other brands sold at high end make up stores.
