Overall, I'm pretty happy I tried it...
Okay, so at first I thought this was stupid and I refused to try it. I love my beauty blender and that's that. But then I saw a bunch of You Tube videos from various makeup artist channels that I follow and they all tested out similar products. They seemed to have mixed feelings, but they leaned toward the positive side. I figured it was time to give it a try.<br /><br />I did have the issue with my beauty blender absorbing product. However, I used a cream foundation rather than a liquid, so it wasn't as bad as it could be. But at almost $50 for my foundation, I hate to see any of it wasted. This product seemed to resolve my only real issue with the beauty blender, so the real test was- does it otherwise perform the same? The answer is no. But that doesn't mean it performs poorly. It's just different.<br /><br />I don't quite get the &#34;airbrushed&#34; look of my beauty blender, but it's also not caked on. It took a little getting used to (and about three days) to get the hang of it. But I think it looks pretty natural. I've figured out how to fold and bend the sponge to get under my eyes and around my nose. I have also figured out that a little goes a long way. Without absorption, I use a lot less product. So I start small and build up.<br /><br />I have found that after I finish using it to spread out the foundation, I follow up with a damp beauty blender to finish blending it out the rest of the way. Because the foundation is already spread out and mostly soaked into my skin, it doesn't really absorb much if anything, but does a good job getting that airbrushed look I like.<br /><br />Overall, I'm pretty happy I tried it and will continue using it, but following up with the beauty blender at the very end. Hopefully I'll get a lot more mileage out of my foundation this way.
