As you may know, I am a massive fan of Real Techniques, so
it probably goes without saying that I get majorly excited when they release a
new product. The newest edition to the famous line is the Miracle Complexion Sponge. Now, everyone’s heard of the Beauty Blender, and although I’ve never
owned nor tried one, I’ve heard the results are great.
The product itself is simply a shaped sponge, but the theory
behind it is that it evenly applies foundation for a flawless finish. It has a flat side for working the foundation in to your skin, and a pointed end for a more precise finish for areas like around your eyes and nose. I’ve
heard of people using these kind of products in different ways, some apply foundation with a
brush first, then use it to blend and some apply the
foundation directly with the blender.
I prefer to combine this product with the Real Techniques
Buffing Brush, which is one of my all time favourite foundation brushes. I love this combo and find it gives a lovely flawless finish and leaves the perfect amount of foundation for an even look.
You can pick this up at Boots for the amazingly cheap price of £5.99. Considering the Beauty Blender is around the £16 mark, this is definitely a more affordable option for what I can imagine is a very similar product.
I feel hugely loyal to Real Techniques, and in my eyes they can do no wrong. The products they bring out are consistently brilliant and priced fantastically. I can't wait to see what they bring out next!
Anyone else tried this product? What's your thoughts vs the beauty blender?
