ost of us tend to throw away the sponge-tip applicator that often comes with some eyeshadow palettes, but do you know that this little tool can be very useful! In this article, I am going to show you different ways to use this sponge that really works!

– This tool is great for applying an eyeshadow color to the eyelid especially glittery shadows. This sponge can grab well the colors and you will get a dense effect!

In this picture I tried to pick up the glittery green shade from the new Covergirl Trunaked Jewels Palette with both a brush and a sponge applicator. For the brush, I used the MAC 239.

As you can see, there is a huge difference in color payoff !The sponge tends to grab better this glittery color and can minimize the quantity of fallout.

– Because of its tiny tip, this sponge can be used to highlight the inner corners of the eyes or under the brow bone. By loading the color on the tip too; you can use it for applying an eyeshadow on the lower lashline.

You can also use it instead of a pencil brush to do a cut-crease look! In fact, you can draw the crease line with the tip and you can soften the edge with the sponge by moving it in a single direction toward the brow bone.I tried it and trust me, it works!

As you can see this oval-shaped sponge applicator has so many uses and it can apply products really evenly. This justifies the fact that we don’t always need the most expensive brushes to create a beautiful makeup look! The only downside is that most of the times, when you get this eyeshadow sponge applicator with an eyeshadow palette , it does not have a good quality, which makes it not very durable. That’s why many brands do sell a sponge tip applicator separately. One of them is make up for ever, their sponge applicator has a long traditional handle that is very practical.

Do you usually use this sponge ? What do you think about it?
