Review: Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge

Whilst I've never tried the original Beauty Blender, I've loved Cosmopolitan's Blend Perfection Sponge so when Real Techniques brought their version to the market I couldn't resist trying it as I do love their brushes.



The Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge is a little different to the others as it has an additional flat edge which you can use for the contours around the eyes and nose. However, as you'd expect, it also has rounded sides for blending large areas around the face with a stippling motion and a precision tip to conceal blemishes and imperfections.


Before using this sponge, I rinse it in warm water and then squeeze out as much excess water as possible. I have yet to find the flat edge useful, I don't really see the need for it and prefer to simply use the rounded edge for most of my face then the precision tip for around my eyes.

Disappointingly, I just don't find this sponge as effective as my Cosmopolitan's Blend Perfection Sponge because the foundation seems to get lost in the sponge and very little is transferred to my face. I'm just not getting the airbrushed look I'd come to expect. This sponge has now moved to the back of my drawer for emergencies only!

The Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge is available for £5.99 from Boots.
