Dear Beauty, enjoy these five great makeup sponge hacks that will change your life! We promise you’ll love this one.

No-Makeup Makeup:

You can use a makeup sponge to apply BB/CC creams, which creates a seamless blend with no harsh lines. BB cream is a mix of skincare and makeup that combines moisturizer, primer, SPF, foundation, and concealer into one product. CC cream is a tinted moisturizer. BB creams are normally used on days where you want to touch up your face but don’t have the time to do a full makeup routine. CC cream is perfect if you have rosacea. It is normally used to for evening out your skin tone and discoloration of the skin. Just apply either cream and pat lightly with the sponge. It’s that simple.

Body Glow:

A makeup sponge is perfect for glowing up your body! Use it to apply body oils, shimmers, and tinted creams across your body. Don’t be afraid to use it on your arms and legs.

Use Your Sponge Dry:

Use a full-coverage foundation base if you use your sponge dry. This will ensure that the foundation is spread evenly and blended well. You also want to make sure to have a primer on before applying foundation. First, apply your primer. Next, apply a dot of foundation on your forehead, nose, cheeks, and chin. Then, pat lightly around your face with the dry sponge for full coverage. Finally, set the makeup with a setting spray or powder.

Don’t Trash the Sponge:

When it’s time to replace your makeup sponge, don’t throw it away. Instead, cut it in half and use it to apply nail polish for an ombre effect! You can also cut it into 1-inch strips for an even more money-saving technique. You can also use the sponge strips to create french tips with your nail polish. Create a half-nail frenchie with the strips. Create tie dye nails by layering nail polish colors on the sponge before applying it to your nail. Create a rainbow design by stacking the 6 colors onto the sponge before applying. The sky’s the limit with this hack when you let the creative juices flow!

Spray Your Sponge:

We saved the best for last! You can lock in your makeup by spraying your sponge with setting spray and patting it lightly onto your skin. This will make your base last even longer! It is the perfect hack when you have less than 20 minutes for a full makeup look. Or even when you’re not in a rush. We won’t judge!
