no i totally understand, it does do the exact same thing, i use beauty blenders more then makeup sponges because of it’s shape not because of the actual job it does cuz they do the exact same thing i just think it takes forever to blend out my big face with a triangle but you look stunning using it so DO YOU!

[TheHiddenHand]

It ABSOLUTELY does the exact same thing, beauty blenders are a scam

[senseofwonder]

Wise young lady! The drugstore sponges are perfect, inexpensive, and way more hygenic since you can replace them more often.

[CupOfConfetti]

I don't like how gross the blenders get no matter how many washes. I rather use my disposable sponges.

[Updog]

PSA: the real techniques blender (orange drugstore sponge) is cheap, easy to find, works amazing, and stands up better to multiple washes so you don’t have to throw it into a landfill as often as the disposable ones! Works just as well as the overpriced name brand BB, and I find it to be more durable.

Drugstore make up are mostly pretty good. Most of them ate even better than expensive products

[ibabymomx]

Whatever you like and works for you girl!! Dnt let others tell you otherwise!

“I want to be glowy and I want to be sparkly. I want to be cute.” 💄💋 I felt that lol

[hushhush]

Maybe the difference becomes visible only with "more problematic" skin ( bigger pores, first wrinkles, dry spots). And no, of course I don’t know her skin condition. ✌️

[BadCane]

I mean they make ur life a lil easier lol, they're disposable and you don't have to worry about constantly washing a blender or brush. I just stock up on sponges. Application is cleaner and evenly distributed

[ginger]

No. Its the same. 😂
You can actually wet the makeup wedges too.
They used to do it long before the beauty blenders came out .

Nobody is gonna come for her, it's all the same thing anyways, doesn't matter the price, you pay for the brand, not the product.

[Faeriesephone]

Honestly she’s not wrong, it’s still the same thing plus that’s just her preference, like as long as she’s not doing her makeup with those awful TikTok hacks of using a broccoli for your face than why not.

[bambex]

Wow! I love her! I'm a realist too!

[nataliagarza]

A beauty blender doesn’t soak up the foundation like those one do tho

[AnneettaLife]

I don’t even use sponges, I use my fingers. Whatever works for you. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

[sstacyss]

Plus you can throw it away and use a new one without using some washed up bacteria one. Lol

[truelve]

Ummm I’ve noticed the difference honestly between a regular sponge and a beauty blender. Theres a Huge difference

[taylorradick]

Love how she has no plastic surgery has a very normal healthy body she is glowing

[alyssa]
