The reason why I’m curious is that I’ve always preferred using my fingers to apply makeup. I know there are individuals use sponges and makeup brushes to apply makeup. Personally, I use brushes for applying eye shadows, gel liners and blushes, on eyebrows and occasionally on lips but I rarely (and I mean RARELY) use makeup sponges.

However, since I’m always finding my hands busy with makeovers, I’m beginning to see the benefits of using sponges. I guess I’m used to the texture and contours of my face and skin so the need to use a sponge has never been really big. But encountering skin types that are not like my own has called for the use of one, not to mention, it’s more hygienic (esp for ladies who are very particular with people touching their skin). That’s why I thought it’s quite practical to buy me a few of them sponges to use on future makeovers.

Now, I’m wondering if you ladies can share a bit of your personal preferences when it comes to this matter. Do you prefer your makeup artist to use a sponge rather than her fingers when applying makeup on you? Do you use makeup sponges when you apply your own makeup? Can you tell me why you think it’s better to use a sponge? I’d really love to hear your thoughts!
