Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge

I'm a lover of a beauty blender sponge! I've tried a lot of them recently. Some brilliant and some not so good. So as soon as I set my eyes on the Real Techniques take on the staple sponge I grabbed it!!






As with every sponge I tried this wet. It swelled to over double its original size. But a good squeeze and a squeeze in a towel tales out all the excess but still leaves it just damp enough to not soak up all your product.

This sponge has a pointed end, round back and a flat side. So this really makes it a multi purpose tool. The flat side amazing for applying foundation. You can either bounce the sponge of your skin to really blur the product into the skin. Or you can use short strokes like a brush o apply. By bouncing the sponge you can work up a higher level of coverage.


The pointed end I use to apply concealer directly on to blemishes. It really helps you pinpoint where you want the extra coverage. Also its great for blending in tough areas, such as around the nose and the eye area. It really works product into the skin. 

The rounded edge you can use to blend your base or I prefer to use it to apply cream blush. Especially highly pigmented cream blushes. You can bounce the colour around the cheek area and then go over with the side you applied your foundation just to really blend it in and give you a natural looking glow. 

This sponge is the perfect shape to fit all the contours of your face. 

I love how soft and bouncy this sponge is. I hate blending sponges that are too firm and almost hurt to bounce around your face.

I have found this to be the most versatile sponge I've used. I'm planning on buying another so I have one to use and one to wash. To wash them you can use a little shampoo and rinse them through similarly to how you'd clean your brushes. For me I don't like this way they never seem to get clean, I pop mine into the washing machine with a load of laundry and let them air dry.

Another great product from the Real Techniques team!

You can pick one up from selected Superdrug and Boots for £4.99. At the moment neither website is stocking them.

Do you like beauty blenders? Have you used this? Let me know!
