The flat bits really help
Unlike the typical beauty blenders which are completely teardrop shaped, this set has a sharp edge cut out on various surfaces. It's like being in precalculus all over again. I didn't know why those corners were so useful until I realised that I can use it to tuck makeup into hard to reach spots, or to draw down sharp corners. Imagine you just finished blending out a good smoky eye. You've got a couple of colours in that eyelid. A clunky beauty blender won't get in there and blend out that liquid eyeliner quite as nicely as one that has a sharper corner to it. Same goes for applying contour. You don't want to go in there with an eye pencil or something, and slash this harsh line over your face. Instead, having that good sharp edge lets you get product on the spots you want it and not where you don't (like when you're contouring down your nose). The quality of the sponges is excellent, and you'll find yourself reaching for a different one for each job.
