I prefer liquid foundation, and until now I've had trouble with it blending into my skin after applying it, but using this sponge has improved that! It fits perfectly around the sides of my nose and eyes. It gives a natural finish without being too thick. This is my third purchase!
The rounded edges make it easy to use in small areas. It works great with pressed powder and powder foundation.
I bought this after a sales associate recommended it to me when I was buying Mary Quant cosmetics! I found it very pleasant to use, so I'm buying it again!
I was attracted by the case it came with. I have a vague memory of it, but it looks a bit similar to Shu's five-sided sponge. It's a squeaky sponge. I tried it with water, but it wasn't very absorbent and dripped, so it wasn't suitable. Another drawback is that all five pieces are connected, so you have to separate them one by one with scissors. Also, the surface becomes crumbly with use, and it gets on my skin when I'm applying foundation. It's neither good nor bad.
The five sponges are arranged in Marikwa's signature daisy design. The teardrop-shaped sponges resemble flower petals, making for an outstanding design. They're durable, washable, and reusable, making them surprisingly cost-effective. There are a lot of great 3D sponges out there these days, so I don't think this one stands out as particularly outstanding, but I'd be thrilled to receive it as a gift.
