While makeup blenders are hardly a new kind of beauty tool, it’s still a new concept to many individuals–especially for those of us who learned makeup application during Y2K, when we were caking on foundation with those wimpy little sponge wedges. So what is a makeup blender , and why should we use them now? A makeup sponge, also known as a makeup blender or beauty blender, is a soft, spongey tool that’s meant for the application of liquid and cream makeup products.
