What the gurus are saying

This sponge earns praise for being a low-absorbent beauty blender that performs as well as pricier alternatives. Gurus highlight its particular strength for reapplying tinted sunscreen over makeup without moving product around, and note that at $5 it delivers quality comparable to $20 options. The dry, non-absorbent texture makes it especially useful for layering sun protection without disturbing your base.

    "Real Techniques came in with a Miracle Complexion Sponge and proved for $5 that you actually don't need to spend $20 on a sponge. That's good quality. That will get the job done and do it like any other sponge, and if not better, in my opinion. So not only [...] is it a great product, and you can buy it in multi packs, but Real Techniques also has pinned to their Instagram page their range of sponges and what they're for and the benefits of them."

    "One of the best ways to reapply tinted sunscreen over makeup is to use a non-absorbent beauty blender to [...] blend at the edges so you're not just moving product around. [...] I find the Real Techniques Beauty blender is really good for this, so not using a wet blender, using a dry blender that doesn't absorb much sunscreen. Be generous, I think it's one of the easiest ways to feel secure that you've put enough SPF on for a second application."

    "I'm using this in the shade 08 vanilla, which I feel is the perfect match for me. I went back to using this very quickly after my last makeup tutorial again like 3 years ago because I feel like it gives the same kind of end result and I'm like, why am I dirtying a brush if I'm going to use a sponge anyway?"
