I received this from Suzykirei. Thank you! Normally, when I apply liquid or cream foundation, I use a 100-yen store sponge or spread it with my hands, but when I use this sponge, I feel like the finish is completely different. It spreads finely and evenly, so the foundation fits perfectly on my skin and lasts a whole day. It was also easy to spread around my nose. I also like that it can be used both dry and wet. Using it when it's dirty is the worst for your skin, so I'll wash it thoroughly and use it when it's clean!
I recommend this sponge to anyone looking for a dewy finish! Wetting it makes it easy to create a soft and glossy base. I have some concerns about hygiene, but I use it every day. It's my favorite sponge!
That's good!
The soft, fluffy texture makes it easy to tell it's a high-quality sponge the moment it touches your skin. Its moderate elasticity allows you to blend your foundation smoothly without pressing it into your skin, bringing out the radiant glow that's so characteristic of Paul & Joe.
I bought this along with Porjo's cream foundation. I've never used a sponge before, so I can't compare it to other products, but it fits in my hand and is easy to use. I was surprised at how it expands when I wet it. It gives a nicer finish than applying it with my fingers, so I quite like it. It comes with a plastic plate to place the sponge on, which I think is good for hygiene.
