My favourite sponge! I have been using and re-buying this for years. It absorbs so much less product compared to other sponges so you get more use out of your foundation/concealer and don’t need to re-apply as much. It is also anti-microbial, so it’s much less likely to cause acne.

Overall I much prefer this sponge to the original. It feels lighter, less dense and much easier to manipulate and apply Foundation. With the orange version I feel it can be almost too hard, you're bashing around on your face trying to get it to blend and it just seems to take forever and your base ends to looking a bit too thick at the end.. that's not the case with this one. It leaves your foundation looking much more natural, and leaves a lighter coverage as it seems to take less product to achieve a blended base as the sponge is much more springy and light. It washed well, hasn't broken apart and I've used it daily for a month so far.. I'm hoping it will last a decent amount of time. It's unlikely I'll use the original again as I prefer this natural look this gives.

I love this sponge. It helps make up glide on smoothly without leaving patches. I won't use any other sponge to apply make up but be careful when washing them as they're quite delicate and if squeezed too hard they can break. It usually lasts me around 3 months and use it nearly every day.

This sponge gives me such a smooth, even base. It blends foundation beautifully and makes my makeup look airbrushed without much effort. The precision tip is great for around the eyes and nose, and it works well with both liquid and powder products. The downside? It doesn’t hold up as long as I’d like. After just a few uses and washes, I noticed small tears starting to form. It’s still usable, but it feels more delicate compared to other sponges I’ve tried. If you don’t mind replacing it more often, it’s fantastic for creating a perfect base. But for durability, it could use some improvement.

I'm not sure why I'm not getting on as well with this sponge as others have. I normally use the orange sponge and love it, but whenever I use this sponge for concealer or foundation it leaves a horrible texture on my face that looks exactly like sponge painting. I have used it dry as it states it's best when used dry but also tried it damp incase that helped. Neither worked for me. I still gave it 3* as it blends out my contour beautifully so I will be keeping it for that, but I don't think that I'd repurchase and next time I will get the orange sponge again. It's very light and soft unlike the orange sponges too and is far more delicate, meaning that it's likely to tear sooner than others would. Perhaps this sponge only works well with certain types of foundations (seen others say it works great with Double Wear) and at its price it's worth giving it a shot to see if you do get the flawless coverage others are getting, but sadly I was not one of the successful ones.

Really good at blending

I don’t believe this is a genuine product, but if it is… don’t bother with it. Feels like cheap foam, no density at all and it says to use it dry, but it worked better damp. In the bin.

Works perfectly with Estée Lauder double wear feels and looks like nothing for what you pay but it’s actually brilliant at blending your foundation this is possibly the 10th one I have had and replace every couple of months
