Today we will talk about a very interesting subject, the shape of which resembles a chicken egg. Makeup sponge is called that. It serves to apply the tone. The popularity of any make-up tool, even one so small and funny, is easily explainable: everyone wants to be beautiful, but “in the fight for it” all means are good. True, good and popular are rarely inexpensive, so how much does an egg make-up sponge cost? Price depends on brand.
Beautyblender is a great thing
The first original and, of course, patented Beautyblender is the most expensive option. The cost in cosmetic supermarkets is from 1400 to 2500 for different types of sponges.
At the moment, 6 original varieties are produced that differ in color, density and purpose, but, in fact, they are all the same egg (makeup sponge), only with a more specific application.
Original Beautyblender
Let's start with the first one introduced by marketers. Easter pink, the inscription on the transparent box "Original Beautyblender". We can say that this is a universal tool for applying tone, which is promoted by such an interesting form - an egg. Makeup sponge is similar to a foam sponge, velvety and pleasant to the touch. The absence of latex nullifies allergic reactions. This raspberry lump ideally applies foundation, cream powder, cream blush, compact powder, will help in the use of concealers and other beauty products.
Royal and red Beautyblender
Violet and red - completely repeat the pink version, this is a limited edition. The signature boxes say Royal Beautyblender and Red Carpet Beautyblender.
"Pure"
The next option is a white egg. Makeup sponge “Pure Beatyblender” - this is written on the signature box. Its difference is a more gentle and pleasant structure of the material. Its softness can be compared with marshmallows: it is easily springy and very airy.
Obviously, it is good for sensitive and sensitive skin. This beauty toy is ideal for applying care products. All kinds of serums, light creams for the area around the eyes, moisturizers.
"Pro"
Pro Beatyblender is a black egg. Makeup sponge is more professional than home option. It is good for a photo make-up - it is dense and suitable for dark or bright tones and shadows, which is important for art shooting. It’s also convenient for them to apply tanning.
Micro Mini
Small green “Beautyblender Micro Mini” are successful for precise small movements. They distribute the tone and other make-up products on the bends: the borders of the nose, eyes, chin. It is convenient to apply with these sponges and shadows - no irritations, very delicate texture of the material.
"Bodyblender"
Another black option is “Bodyblender”, which is the largest of all brand products. His specialization is body. The coating will be naturally uniform and economical.
How to use such a makeup sponge?
The answer to the question is already clear, what is an egg makeup puff? How to apply them cosmetics? This question is no less important. In this case, not only material and form, but the method of application works for our beauty. The first thing to do is dip your purchase in water, then squeeze in a fist, then in a towel. If you have long nails, act without fanaticism. Of course, the testicle will not break, but it can be pierced easily, and damage cannot be repaired. After moisturizing, the sponge became noticeably larger and much softer, even velvety. It remains to drip the base for the tone on it from the dispenser and distribute it over the skin.
Intuitively, the plump side is acting on the forehead and cheeks, and the tip is near the wings of the nose and around the eyes. The movements are not wide, but light tapping, fast and shallow. After three or four days, you will notice for yourself and understand the intricacies of working with this little thing exactly with your face. Specify the consumption of foundation, eyeshadow, blush, powder. In general, wet application facilitates the density of any product that gets on the skin, distributes it better and finer. It is only necessary to understand for yourself the moisture of the sponge, which is most successful for your creams and concealers. By the way, a weakly wrung out beauty blender “steals” less cream from you.
Opinion of people about makeup sponge
Convenience and excellent results made the egg makeup sponge so popular. Reviews during the existence of the original miracle droplets, as well as its analogues, are invariably enthusiastic.
Some are happy, of course, with a real brand, and they are absolutely sure that "it is worth it." Others are equally sincerely happy with the successful copy and believe that they have received everything that is needed for a reasonable price.
The exceptions are dissatisfaction with the price of a branded beauty blender and dissatisfaction with the differences from a branded beauty blender. Here are such conflicting opinions.
Less expensive counterpart to crazy stuff
Any interesting thing that suddenly became popular immediately has “followers”, and you can buy such an egg, a makeup sponge similar to a brand one. It will be from another material and with different properties, albeit as maximally (well, or minimally - this is how lucky) similar. In online stores you can find them for 180 rubles (plus shipping). Packaging - a bag sealed in an industrial environment.
In addition, you can buy an analogue from any network cosmetic supermarket, they quickly orientated themselves and have long been releasing such a thing as a makeup sponge (egg). How to use? Yes, just as well: moisten, squeeze, then drip cream and apply on face. Prices for them vary significantly - in some cases they are very much close to the cost of the source. Although most often for such a thing the price is about three hundred rubles, maybe a little more.
