What are the best sponges for blending foundation and contour?
We’re sharing our favorite beauty sponges with you, and the best part is that they all cost $5,500 COP or less.
We don’t judge how you choose to apply your makeup. While we love other application methods—like using fingers or brushes—we have to admit we adore a good sponge; they are the perfect choice for blending makeup to achieve a flawless complexion, and they are easy to use and clean. Even professional makeup artists prefer them, as they can use one on a client, discard it, and use a fresh one for the next person, making them the most hygienic option in their kit.
