makeup sponge

Foundation spreading implement

A makeup sponge is a soft, porous tool used to apply or blend cosmetics—especially foundation and concealer—onto the skin.

The classic version is a flat wedge, but egg-shaped sponges designed for dabbing and stippling have become standard: I dampen my makeup sponge before blending.

Also called a beauty sponge or blender.
