Useless blender but great for skincare products

I got these as a free with purchase under icon status here.I never would have thought to actually purchase them so I wasn't expecting them to do much. They are useless for foundation as they only move product around leaving uneven coverage if anything at all. However, I did find that they are great for applying SOME skin care products. I use the smaller one for (unnamed high end eye cream) as when used with very little pressure they prevent any pull on delicate areas when used to simply tap product in very lightly. I use the larger one as a pallet to mix foundation or contour to a perfect shade... not on my actual skin but as a base to blend liquid products since it won't absorb anything. I gave 3 stars because they are useful but not in the way they are promoted.

I tried this product out and I really did not care for it. i still prefer a sponge or brush.

Best makeup tool!

I'm so old school, I used to use the old makeup wedges to apply my foundation. But as everyone knows, wedges just soak up the makeup and are full of bacteria. So I decided to try something new and got these silicone blenders. These are amazing! I use just a little foundation and it goes a looooong way. I'm surprised by how little foundation I need to cover my face. I also love the fact that I can just wash these clean with soap and water. No need to keep throwing money away on makeup wedges! I definitely think everyone needs these in their makeup case.

Great for minimalists

These silicone blenders are perfect for those who don't use a ton of product. The smaller sponge blends my concealer so well because I'm not drawing giant triangles under my eyes. Yes, I could use my fingers, but this is more convenient than having to get up from my desk to go wash my hands between gulping down coffee and blending my makeup. I keep the big blender at work and use it to reapply sunscreen over my makeup.

Best my foundation has ever looked!

I bought these and figured I'd give it a try, looking to achieve the most natural looking skin post foundation application. Using these and then blending with my foundation brush has helped me to achieve my goal! This allows for the coverage that I want that the brush typically didn't and following up with the brush allows for a non caked on foundation look. I highly recommend.

A useful applicator and glittery stressball

I bought this on sale, and I overall like it, but would not repurchase at full price because only half the kit works as intended. The little applicator is very helpful. Using it is like applying with fingers but better, since make up goes on more evenly and it is not absorbed and wasted. It cleans easily too! The larger applicator is massive and overflows the palm of my hand. It is not a useful tool for applying make up by any means-- I even tested it for applying bodypaint, but the little one still worked better. The larger blender actually makes a pretty epic stressball, since its durable, shimmery, kinda jiggly and feels nice to the touch. I just wish it was useful for makeup like the smaller one!

Garbage

Anybody who claims these are great are either lying or delusional. These are by far the worst blending sponges you will ever buy. Buyer beware! Do not waste your money on these paperweights. Because basically that’s all you’re buying is a paperweight. Yeah they’re pretty but they’re completely rubber and all they do is move around your foundation/primer. All they do is smear it around they don’t blend anything in. So do yourself a favor and save your money and avoid the headache and heartache

Pros and cons

I wanted to try these sponges and I am pretty happy with it. I admit putting on foundation is a little weird because it’s more of a film. I’ve decided to use these sponges for my face products like a mask, which works very well for that purpose. You can also use it to mix products like foundation or a mixing medium.
