I just recently bought myself one of these beauty blender's as I had aquired some foundations that I was finding weren't going on so well with my brushes. The Beauty blender is absolutely amazing as it completely blends in your make up and doesn't leave streaking, like brushes do.
Like most sponges it does soak up a bit of the product, but not so much that you end up with no makeup on your face.
The nicely pointed end and curved edges make it really easy to apply makeup all over you face, even in those annoying creases around noses and eyes.
I used it to blend in mouse foundations and my concealer and it worked brilliantly. It is also really reasonably priced but if you are looking for something a bit more economical you can always shop for the imitations, which soak up a bit more product but still work.
I would definitely recommend this to all of you who want streak free and well blended makeup.
I bought a beauty blender about a year and a half ago, The day i got it i almost wee'd myself i was so excited, it felt amazingly soft, so squishy, so awesome!
Around the same time i also decided to order a few cheapy dupes off ebay just to see if they were any good. And because i became so addicted to using my beauty blender that i felt i needed spares for when my beauty blender was dirty and needed a wash.
After the arrival of my cheapy dupes, i became torn between which was better. I know most people say there is a huge difference, but in all honesty, to me, there wasnt very much difference, Besides the fact that the beauty blender was softer, they both still did the exact same job.
For those of you who have not invested in a beauty blender yet, i suggest checking out a cheap alternative first, you may find it good enough and save yourself a few pennies, But the true beauty blender is still, in my oppinion, well worth the money.
For application of foundation i would give it a 10/10 Application of Concealer 10/10 Blending of foundation and concealer 10/10 Application of creme blush 8/10 as i find a duo fiber brush better but this still does a reasonably good job.
Hope you find this helpful
