Wet n Wild Makeup Sponge

Most Helpful Critical Review

This is a decent Okay...

This is a decent Okay little makeup sponge/Beauty blender created by wet n wild. It does help to apply makeup-creams, liquids, powders, and isn't too soft when damp. It can help applying products to hard to reach places such as under the eye area,or translucent powder when setting,etc.due to it's sh...ape. The only main issue I have is that this product, isn't as flexible (as say the real techniques sponge or the OG beauty blender). ALSO,it's definitely not a beauty blender dupe because it's a tad bit stiffer,that makes ALL the difference in the world.And when damp,it remains stiff/doesn't expand as near as much as other sponges. Which, I myself, as a makeup artist, personally like when the beauty blender or sponge gives a little bit more,or is flexible, ESPECIALLY when stippling products into the skin.I say THIS because if it isn't stippled in correctly,it effects the ENTIRE finish of your makeup application.This sponge actually takes effort to stipple product in correctly when trying to bounce it off of the face.However, that's a catch 22. Due to THIS sponge being made that way,(it is a tad bit rubbery/stiffer) it doesn't waste/soak up as near as MUCH product as the real techniques/other beauty blenders/sponges, ultimately saving you money in Makeup. However,I feel like the application and finish are EVERYTHING.So I feel like this sponge could've been less rubbery and more flexible. Other than that,it got my makeup on,it is cheap,super affordable,and I do like how it is shaped when applying makeup, that's why I purchased it in the first place,SHAPE is SUPER important. The texture of the sponge just honestly gets in the way during application. It does apply the makeup, and can get the job done without brush streaks,but the texture of THIS sponge affects applying products with ease & the overall finish, preventing a flawless application. It's just not my Absolute favorite, or the absolute worst sponge that I've worked with either.It was definitely easy when I was cleaning all of my makeup Brushes/sponges to just grab one of these from the drugstore and use for a few days; it worked,not the easiest when trying to flawlessly stipple,not the BEST end result,but it applied.When compared to the equate dollar store beauty blender, I'd say I personally prefer the equate one,it has more give.I would repurchase this sponge over Tarte's expensive quickie beauty blender sponge that's way over priced,but wet n wild could ABSOLUTELY have some major improvements with this,and I expected better because wet n wild is slaying the drugstore game.[product:brand-in-hand-morphe-x-jefffree-star-the-jeffree-star-beauty-sponge-trio] [product:the-original-beautyblender] [product:japonesque-makeup-brush-cleanser] [product:japonesque-solid-brush-cleanser-71]
