Anyone use it? Its a dupe of the Beauty Blender but only costs like $9 at Target.

I just bought one of these.

Who uses it and do you find it to be a better finish than using a brush when applying foundation?

i've never used this specific one, but i always use a sponge for my foundation- i hate the way foundation brushes leave streaks on your face- sponges give a more natural appearance

Re: Sonia Kashuk Blending Sponge

Thank you for that!!! ^

I did buy it and have been trying it out on myself.

I have to say............its awesome! I don't know what the SK sponge is made of but it does an amazing job of giving that airbrushed look. I love it. In the video above...she talks about rolling the sponge. I don't roll it. I use the butt of it to dab all over my face and it just blends somehow.

If the SK is that good...I am really tempted to buy the Beauty Blender...it can only get better!!!

I also found a dupe of the beauty blender here in uk. It's by cosmopolitan and you can find it in superdrug.

I currently use Cover FX cream foundation. The SK sponge has the grooves versus the BB which is like an egg. The BB looks softer and the shape seems more workable. The SK is more sturdy and the shape is not the same but it still works like a charm.

I used it for foundation, powder, blush and highlighter. Loved it.

Is it an egg shape also? How did you like it?

It’s not exactly an egg shape. It’s more like a pear shape which makes it so much easier to hold and use.
The quality is also great, it gives you that airbrushed look.

Re: Sonia Kashuk Blending Sponge

I have the BB sponge and thats the only application method I use to apply foundation on my clients (I do freelance makeup). It gives an amazing airbrushed look without much effort! It's a lot quicker than using a foundation brush, and you use less product than with a brush!

I honestly have nothing bad to say about the BB sponge! I don't have the SK one though, so I can't compare it to that.
