Eyeshadow Sponge Applicators

I've been going through my drawer and I notice I have a tons of these applicators and thought I share this with you all. Its one of those items where people toss in the trash because its all about brushes from affordable to expensive ones but I find myself keeping them because they're very useful for other things.



I still remember when I first started with makeup these where the only things I depend on when applying eyeshadow because brushes are just too expensive and I'm pretty sure most of you was in a similar situation. Now ever since I discover Eco Tools, E.L.F, Posh etc brushes that are affordable and soft that these sponge applicators were pushed back. However these applicators are still not bad and very useful too.

Pros:
- They're great with packing color especially eyeshadows that aren't pigmented
- Great to use when mixing foundations, pigments or lipcolors
- Great for applying glitters on the lid
- For small tip applicators its very useful for applying shadows on the lower lid

Cons:
- They eat up your eyeshadows meaning you will use up your eyeshadows quicker
- Hard to blend the shadows with
- sometimes it can pack too much color
- They make the eyeshadow crease faster but nothing then a good primer can fix it

Overall they're still great and once in a while I find myself using them for a quick all over color on the lids when I'm in a hurry in the morning.

What is your opinion on them?

Thanks for reading <3
