I titled this review as Sponge Cake because the results from using The Manicare Flawless Complexion Sponge was more negative than positive. On the packaging it said "80% noticed their skin was visibly more flawless!", I can say that i stand in the 20% that did not.
Upon using the sponge dry, i found that the pressing method did not give a flawless coverage. My complexion was still uneven and i resolve to buffing with the round side to get my foundation even. After doing so, my face looked caked-up and left me disappointed. The flat side was hopeless at getting my concealer under my eye, especially to the corners. The sponge most definitely held a lot of product, in which i would recommend to not use when apply more costly cosmetics.
When i used the sponge wet my coverage was light as the packaging said it would. I could not help but notice that it still held in a lot of product.
Although i see how useful this tool is to be used to apply different makeup, the results is not 100% what it claims to do. The sponge is dense and I didn't like how my fingers and finger nails get a little covered in makeup. Cleaning the sponge is a breeze though.
The product name says it all 'Flawless complexion sponge.' It really does give me an amazing flawless finish on my foundation. I love the instructions of using a pushing technique to get better coverage, using less foundation. A great way to save time and money (on foundation.) It is also very handy that it is double sided - the flat side for applying foundation and the rounded edge to apply concealer. The flat side works awesome to really get in around the eyes, nose and right up to the hair line. The sponge is silky soft and i will definitely be my new makeup applicator!
