So this Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge + Case is honestly a game-changer. Like, it's one of those makeup tools that just works, you know? The sponge has this cool 3-in-1 design that lets you do pretty much everything – the rounded sides are perfect for blending foundation all over your face, there's a pointed tip that gets into tight spots and covers up any problem areas, and the flat edge? Super handy for getting around your nose and under your eyes when you're contouring.
What's really nice is the foam they use doesn't hold onto gross old makeup or let bacteria build up, so it stays way cleaner than regular sponges. You can use it with whatever you've got – foundation, concealer, powder, cream products – it all works. Plus, it's totally cruelty-free and vegan, which is awesome. And they throw in a travel case so you can toss it in your bag without worrying about it getting dirty or squished.
Pro tip: if you want that natural, glowy look, dampen the sponge first. Want more coverage? Use it dry. Just wash it with some gentle soap and warm water every few uses, let it air dry in the case, and you're good to go. It'll last you forever if you take care of it.
