Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge

Real Techniques is another of my most loved brands it’s another one on my list of brands that seems to be able to do no wrong; their brushes are some of my best-loved and most-used (most of the girls in college use them also), and I don't think I've read one bad review of any of their products. When I heard they were releasing a blending sponge I was really interested to see if it would live up to the quality and efficacy of their extensive brush collection, and also how they could improve on an established concept already well loved by many including myself and many established makeup artist (there’s a number of girls and tutors in my college who swear by beauty blenders).

The main thing to notice about the Miracle Complexion Sponge is that while it keeps the usual egg shape of many of the currently available sponges (like the Models Own ones that I currently swear by, I have 4 in my kit), this sponge features a large flat edge that’s meant to be used to assist coverage over the eyes and nose. It's suggested to use the rounded sides to blend across the larger areas of the face, while the precision tip is recommended to be used for blemishes and imperfections.

The texture created with this product is much the same as with others, there are no annoying lines or patches that can be a problem with using brushes (only downside is the tapping application takes a lot longer than using brushes, you wouldn't use this sponge if you were in a rush), and it stipples over imperfections and pores to create a lovely smooth surface (my skin is suffering big time at the minute because of all the different products we’ve been using in college).

What really has come as a revelation with this sponge is the amount of increased coverage it gives over my other blending sponges. With this sponge the product is moved efficiently from the back of my hand to my face and pressed into the skin rather than being spread across so it covers much more in just one layer (some people have said this results in a cakey finish but I don’t agree with this at all).

As the Miracle Complexion Sponge soaks up less foundation than most, and things like cream blushes and cheek tints only stay on the surface of the product, cleaning is really quick as I don't have to spend ages rinsing and squeezing until the water runs clear.

I really haven't been disappointed with Real Techniques' newest offering I think this product is such a bargain and really worth trying out whether you're a regular user of sponges or a newbie to sponge using, I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

Have you had a chance to try the Real Techniques beauty blender or any other brands beauty blenders, do you like them?
