No matter the task at hand, it’s always easier to get the job done with the right tools in place. When it comes to applying makeup, a streak-free finish is a piece of cake with the new Mattese Elite 3D Makeup Blender. —
This innovative makeup sponge is ergonomically designed to perfectly fit the hands as well as the face. Its hourglass shape allows for a firm grip during application, while a pointed, cone-shaped tip easily tucks into hard-to-reach corners of the eyes, nose and mouth. The wide, curved sides of the sponge blend contour or highlighter around the cheekbones and jaw line, too.
Latex-free and hypoallergenic, this nifty little applicator can be used slightly wet or dry to apply concealer, foundation and even blush for a lightweight and perfectly blended look. The sponge is washable with mild soap and water — it expands when wet for a thorough cleaning but shrinks back down to its original size once dry for repeat use. (Available at Ricky’s NYC; $19.99 for a pack of 2 sponges.)
