Do you apply your foundation with your fingertips? A brush?
I learned about applying foundation with a beauty blender many months ago, and thought it was the same as those disposable sponges, but then I read how the generic beauty blenders didn't even do the same job, let alone generic sponges, and realized there must be a difference. They would either suck up all the product, or not leave a smooth finish. I already had a foundation brush, which I barely used, since it left brush marks on my face, and thought I didn't need any more clutter, especially at $20 a pop for the Beauty Blender, so I never ordered them. I recently decided to try one from one of my favorite low-end makeup brush brands called real Techniques, since youtube reviews said it was a pretty close duplicate to the authentic Beauty Blender, but for only $6! Once I tried it, I saw why it caused so much chatter! I dampen it first, and the product glides on with no seams! No brush strokes, blendablity like no other, and my favorite part is the many angles of the sponge. The angles speed up my application time, and are ideal for concealer, and also contouring my face! Contouring my face is a recent addition and addiction to my world of makeup, and using highlighters and darker colors are now part of my normal makeup routine due to the simplicity this product creates! Comment below on your thoughts if you have ever tried a beauty blender!
