The egg-shaped makeup sponge is pretty much the best thing since sliced bread. The shape enables us to apply our foundation evenly for the flawless finish we’re all after.
These days, there’s a whole bunch of variations of the classic egg shape. Here’s what each shape excels at so that you can get the most out of your makeup sponge.
Foundation
The classic egg shape is perfect for applying foundation and blending across your face. The pointed tip is great for reaching smaller areas like beneath the brow and if you are going to limit yourself to one sponge, this ought to be it.
Concealer
The ridged sponges are great for applying concealer as you can apply more easily to precise areas.
The Full Monty
The eggs with a flat edge are great for all-over foundation application as well as reaching the nooks and crannies. The flat edge is great for under the eyes and the rounded side is perfect for larger surface areas.
Under-Eye Concealer
The half-moon egg is designed for targeting specific areas, which makes it the ideal sponge for hiding dark circles and targeting the under-eye area.
