Makeup sponge

There are many new products that are appearing in the world of makeup to surprise us and also so that we consume more attracted by the new features and promises of these products. In recent times, new products have appeared when applying makeup, and that is why many comparisons have been created to see which was the best or the advantages and disadvantages of each one.

In this case, we are going to see what are the properties of three products to apply makeup. We refer to the Beauty Blender, the Oval Brush and the Silisponge. These three products are used to apply cream makeup, whether it is the primer, the contouring, the makeup base or the highlighter or concealer, so we will see the qualities of each product.

The Beauty Blender is the best known of the three tools makeup and the first that appeared to revolutionize the way of applying creams. This is a sponge with rounded shapes which help to avoid marks and stripes in our makeup. It's like the evolution of the makeup sponges of a lifetime. A trick that should be done with it is to wet it before using it, so that it is softer and so that it does not absorb so much makeup. The great advantage of this sponge is that it blends very well and is ideal for making the product blend into the skin due to its porosity. It does not leave marks and in the most difficult corners and areas a very good result is obtained.

One of the disadvantages that it can have is its cleaning, which when absorbing product may not be so good. Also that the product is not used as much because it absorbs it. Then we will be losing a large amount on the sponge. These sponges also have to be changed every few months because they end up accumulating dirt and gérmentes.

Oval Brush

The oval brushes are the new sensation of the season, and they are quite dense and very soft brushes, which resemble a hairbrush or a toothbrush, but with a much greater softness because they are for the face. The best thing about these brushes is that we find many different ones in various sizes. There is a narrower one, which is used to apply contour lines with precision, other wider brushes to blend the foundation. In short we can use them in various ways, and it is that watching tutorials are used in different ways. Their great advantage is that they are super gentle on the skin and blend very well. As there are several sizes, we can use them for different purposes, although in general they are used for creams and foundations and highlighters.

A disadvantage that this brush can have is that it also absorbs enough product, so we must apply first to the skin and then blend. The larger and wider brushes are also difficult to use at the smallest angles, such as next to the eyes, so we have to combine them with other smaller brushes.

Finally we have a product that has caused quite a lot of controversy because it has as many detractors as followers. This silicone sponge has a soft touch and offers us the great advantage that with it no product is wastedas it does not absorb. So we get more out of makeup. In addition, it is very easy to clean and very hygienic so it lasts a long time.

The great disadvantage is that since it is not porous does not blur well nor does it cause the product to blend into the skin, it just spreads it. It's fine to spread makeup all over the face to get more out of it, but you definitely have to mix it with a Beauty Blender or a blending brush and blend the makeup well for a more natural finish.
