7 Makeup Sponges That Compare To The Original Beauty Blender

The original beauty blender was ground breaking. The makeup world went from using brushes to sponges in what felt like minutes. Of course, since the original beauty blender there has been hundreds of duplicates that have come out just like it. Here's our favourites that compare!

The original beauty blender is a make-up tool that changed the beauty blending game. It’s a soft, egg shaped tool with a pointed top allowing you to blend your make-up flawlessly. Since the release of the original beauty blender, these make-up sponges have changed shape and size for a number of different reasons and purposes. Here are 7 blenders that we think are in league with the original blender!

1. Sephora – The Perfectionist Make-Up Sponge

This sponge is perfect for reaching right up into the most awkward and hard to reach areas when blending, it’s moisture retention allows for a smooth coverage when buffing out make-up.

2. Fenty Beauty – Precision Make-Up Sponge

Rihanna has blessed us all during the previous year with her Fenty Beauty line, allowing a lot of us to have a shade which complements our skin. Rather than it being too dark or too light, we have a shade that represents us. She also provided us with some fancy tools, like this blender. This 3 sided make-up sponge is perfect for blending all liquids or powders applied to the face. The mini moon edge is for targeted coverage, so it is perfect for under the eyes and highlighting cheekbones. The rounded side is for all over buffing, and the slanted side for controlled application.

3. Sephora – Beauty Blender Micro Mini Pro

These micro blenders are great for the smaller areas of the face such as concealing, highlighting and contouring.

5. Real Techniques – Miracle Complexion Sponge

This sponge is another 3 in one sponge, each surface allowing you to achieve a different function so that you get all over coverage blended to perfection.

6. Beauty Blender – Body Blender

This blender can be used practically anywhere, whether it be to cover up tattoos or to blend on your tanning lotion, this versatile blender has made it on this list and can be bought for a reasonable price considering its multifunction. If you want a blender that does everything, this could be for you.

7. DIOR – Backstage Blender

This blender has not only a soft touch, but high density, releasing just the right amount of fluid onto your skin. It has 2 sides, one flat and the other round. The flat surface is used to blend, whilst the rounded side is used to optimize correction and create coverage.
