Hey everyone! Today I am going to be sharing my thoughts on the Real Techniques Miracle Sculpting Sponge that claims to be a 6-in-1 sponge. This is a sponge to be used when helping to create shadows and also to highlight certain areas of your face. My opinions are honest and they may vary from person-to-person so please keep that in-mind.
Overview
This is a very bouncy and soft sponge. Pink is not one of my favourite colours but obviously I can look past that if the sponge works well. It is extremely light and doesn't feel like you are holding anything when they sponge is dry. It is smaller than I expected but it will of course, expand when you dampen it with water. This is a latex free product in-case you are wondering and you can also bake your face with this!
The Six Surfaces Breakdown
With my beauty blender and my ELF Precision Sponge Trio (the largest size,) I would use it to: apply foundation, blend out concealer, bake my face, apply cream/liquid highlight and to cream contour. It only makes sense that I purchased this sponge because there are: 2 flat edges to apply, 2 round sides to blend and 2 tapered ends for precision application. Of course, this is just a guideline and you will want to use whatever method best suits your needs.
Thoughts On Using The Sponge
UPDATE: I used the flat surface the most and I use the pointed end to apply highlight. I used it 3 times and washed it twice before it completely cracked! I was so disappointed and I had to return it. The Miracle Complexion Sponge by Real Techniques is SIGNIFICANTLY better than this makeup sponge. I would not recommend this sponge to my readers after my sponge cracked in two different places.
Price & Where To Buy
I purchased mine at Rexall when they were having a 20% off sale. I originally tried to purchase mine at Wal-Mart, but they only had the brushes in-stock. I paid about $8 CAD for my sponge and usually they retail for around $10-$13. If you're in the USA, you can purchase it at: Ulta, Rite Aid, Walgreens, Kmart, Kohl's or Wal-Mart. You can online purchase it online on the Real Techniques web site.
Washing Your Sponge
I do recommend that you wash it after each use because after all, you will most likely be using different liquids and creams of various colours therefore, you will want to wash it well! I just wash all my makeup sponges with Johnson's Baby Shampoo in the sink in my bathroom. Just lather it in well, squeeze out as much of the product(s) as you can and keep washing until your water is clear.
