While it was never uncommon for one to apply their makeup or foundation with a sponge of their choice, it was never really recognised as totally legit, until boss woman Rea Ann Silva coined the Beautyblender.
And not out of character for our spoilt asses, there’s way too many options out there to choose from. Maybe you have an affinity for something pretty damn cute. Or maybe you’re in the market for a new sponge. Or maybe you’re looking to join the sponge game and leave the brushes behind.
Whether you’re a part of any of the above or not: welcome. Scroll down below to check out some funky makeup sponges available to purchase right now.
Spongebob Squarepants x Wet n Wild
Absorbent and yellow and porous is this makeup sponge! This collaboration from Spongebob Squarepants and Wet n Wild is one of the most satisfying crossovers in the realm of pop culture meets beauty. Besides being reminiscent of Spongebob himself, it features precise, flat-cut edges for contouring and baking. It also has a round bottom for effective blending. Can be used wet or dry. If Spongebob doesn’t tickle your fancy, there’s always Squidward.

This portable pineapple case not only houses your sponge, but also protects it from dirt and grime, as well as from Plankton and the dreaded Dirty Bubble, while on the go.”
