Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge – £5.99
I had been on the look-out for a new foundation brush/sponge to use, so when I stumbled across this in boots I though I would give it a go. I’m a fan of Real Techniques brushes, I own the basic eye set (which I definitely recommend) so I thought I would add this to my collection. Makeup sponges are usually used to create a light flawless base, although you can build up the coverage by dabbing/pressing the foundation. The sponge is sold as a “3-in-1 multi-functional sponge. “, Sam Chapman (The creator of the range) demonstrated that this can be used for foundation, concealer, powder and even cream blush.
Rimmel London Wake Me Up Foundation – £8.99
I’ll be using Rimmel Londons Wake Me Up foundation, which is my go to foundation at the moment, I’d say its about a medium coverage, natural finish and I use about a full pump to cover my face and neck. Before I apply the foundation its a good idea to dampen the sponge, this creates a sort of barrier that stops the sponge drinking up all your product.
Before Application
After
The Sponge has blended in the foundation very well, you cant see and streaks or blotches and it has helped blur out imperfections, it’s also really soft unlike some of the cheaper ones what feel rubbery. The sponge it-self is very easy to clean, I just use some warm water and shampoo and that tends to do the trick.
Overall I am really happy with this sponge and would recommend it to those who want a light flawless finish.
