Brushworks Professional Complexion Sponge

Brushworks Professional Complexion Sponge is a complexion sponge soft enough to press foundation into the skin without dragging it, for the base you want to look like skin rather than makeup. Damp it for a sheer, dewy finish or use it dry for full coverage; the same sponge gives you both. Wet, the sponge has already taken up water, so it lays the product down thinly and bounces it out to an airbrushed finish. Dry, nothing is diluted and the coverage stays where you press it, which is what you want over a blemish or on a day that has to last. It works the same way for concealer and cream products, and it needs washing and drying fully between uses.

Benefits

• Damp, it presses foundation in for an airbrushed finish; dry, the same sponge gives full coverage.
• One sponge covers both ends of that range, so a heavier day does not call for a second applicator.

How to use

• Wet the sponge and squeeze the excess water out, then bounce it over your base for an airbrushed finish.
• Use the sponge dry when you want full coverage from the same product.
• Wash it after use and let it dry fully before it goes back into a closed makeup bag.
