How to Test The Quality Of Makeup Sponges?

Makeup Sponge, also called beauty egg, is a kind of makeup tool. There are many shapes.

It is mainly used for base makeup, so that the foundation can be evenly applied to the face, and the base makeup is more flawless and natural. Before using the beauty sponge, it should be washed with water and squeezed, so that it can fully absorb water and expand. After washing, wrap it with a paper towel and squeeze it. When 90% dry, the foundation will be applied to be more docile and even, and the liquid foundation will not be wasted. 

We test the cosmetic sponges mainly from the following two points:

1. Look at the pores on the surface of the sponge

A high-quality makeup sponge has a smooth surface with small, evenly distributed pores, as smooth and delicate as a baby’s skin.

On the other hand, low-quality beauty eggs have a rough surface, large pores, and different sizes.

Therefore, when buying beauty eggs, the smaller the pores, the more uniform the better.

2. See the uniformity of water

A high-quality beauty sponge not only squeeze even water, but also does not comes out air bubbles.

The inferior makeup eggs have extremely uneven water output and are prone to bubbles.

Generally, we will use the beauty egg to apply the liquid foundation. If the quality of the beauty sponge is not good and the water is not uniform, then the foundation makeup will not be flawless, which is very unsightly.

3. See the Softness of the sponge

When dry, a good-quality makeup sponge is full, elastic when pinched, soft to the touch, not hard or firm, and has a natural color.

After water, a good-quality cosmetic sponge will expand to twice its original size after absorbing water, and the release ability is excellent. When you squeeze it with your hands, basically all the water is released, making it softer and more skin-friendly.
