e.l.f. Makeup Sponge

Yes, this sponge is versatile enough to handle both. Use it damp with liquid foundations or concealers for a seamless, dewy finish, or dry with powder products when you need fuller, more opaque coverage.

The flat, angled side is designed for stippling and blending foundation across larger areas like your cheeks and forehead. The pointed tip is specifically shaped to reach into tighter, delicate areas like the inner corners of your eyes or around the sides of your nose for precise concealing.

It depends on the finish you want. Dampening the sponge will give you a sheerer, more natural, and dewy look. If you prefer full, high-coverage results, use the sponge completely dry.

To maintain hygiene and optimal performance, it is generally recommended to replace your makeup sponge every one to three months, depending on how frequently you use it and how well you clean it.

Wash the sponge after each use with a gentle soap or a dedicated makeup sponge cleanser. Rinse it thoroughly with warm water until the water runs clear, then let it air dry completely in an open area.
