![]() But one overarching rule to abide by: “Sponges that are not disposable should be cleaned weekly, if not more often, and should be tossed within three months, if not sooner,” Cantor cautions. While many of the sponges available on the market these days may look similar, there are some differences to be aware of that make the varying options more better suited for particular types of products. The caveat: You have to make sure you’re choosing the right one. Their other major benefit? Makeup sponges really can be used with any and every product out there, Cantor says. And, as compared to your fingers, sponges are both more precise and even-not to mention more sanitary, he adds. First and foremost, “With a makeup sponge, there are no brush strokes to correct, which can lead to a quicker, more seamless application,” explains celebrity makeup artist Bryan Cantor. But in the world of different application techniques, relying on a makeup sponge offers a few unique advantages that these other two methods simply don’t have. And yes, applying makeup with your fingers is quick and easy. It does work all day, I don’t have to touch up in the afternoon at all, which is great! If you’re looking for a new powder, this is a good one to try.Yes, makeup brushes are great and effective. It’s pretty finely milled, which means it is hard to pick up that there’s even powder on my skin. ![]() I’ve been in a loose powder phase for the last few months, which surely means I need to try out a new pressed powder. ![]() Sometimes I want loose for months and won’t touch a pressed powder, sometimes I get fed up with the loose powder and just want to pat my concealer and foundation with pressed powder on a puff for 10 seconds and be done with it. I’ve already been recommending it to friends!Ĩ10 Fair to Light and 830 Light to Medium Overall, this concealer lasts all day for me without disappearing or needing a touch up. 820 is a good match for my skin, though my skin is more on the rosy side than yellow (which makes me strange, I know). I was a bit surprised to see the difference in undertones between the two concealers, I do think the 820 is less yellow and more pink than 830 in person as well. The concealer has medium coverage, though you can layer it to be more of a medium-full coverage, and I think it blends in very well. I buff it in small circles a bit with a brush (usually my EcoTools MicroBlending Brush), and pat it once or twice with a slightly damp BeautyBlender sponge. I dot it in a triangle under my eyes, around my nose, and a little on any blemishes. I have to be honest and say I don’t care about the felt top, I put the concealer on the back of my hand and apply it from there as usual. The concealer comes in a very easy to use squeeze tube, it has a felted top. ![]() The CoverGirl is more multipurpose, I’ve been using it under my eyes and around my face. So, the fact that I’ve recently found two drugstore concealers that I can recommend and will keep using… that’s pretty amazing! The other concealer is Maybelline Dream Concealer, which is great because it’s a stick, but I don’t think it holds up super great under my eyes. They’re usually really well pigmented, blend well, and last all day.
