Beauty Blender on a stick = Eco Tool Sponge Brush

‘The Beauty Blender’, the egg shape sponge for applying the make-up has been loved by anybody who had a chance to use it. There were many cosmetic companies who have tried to repeat this spectacular success and released similar sponges. We can find many dupes on eBay for few pounds. None of them worked as good as the original Beauty Blender. Until now.

The Eco Tools company is widely know for producing great make up brushes. The concept behind the Eco Tools is that everything ought to be made from natural, sustainable materials. Recently, the company has put the brush and the sponge in one creating a unique make-up tool. ‘The Foam Applicator Brush’ is made in 100% from recyclable materials. The bamboo handle, aluminium, recyclable ferrule and a sponge are all environment friendly.

The tool looks pretty much like a white Beauty Blender on the stick. The sponge applicator is in a teardrop shape with one side tapered off sharply for a flat edge and the other side rounded.

The application sponge is supposed to distribute the foundation and blend it with your skin at the same time. Does it do its job well?

For the Foam Brush to work best, it is essential to damp it first. Only then, we are sure that the foundation won’t get absorbed by the sponge. It also turns out that the ‘stick sponge’ blends the foundation amazingly good giving the face an ‘airbrush’ finish. The pointing tip seems to work well if we want to apply the concealer under eyes. The sponge on the handle gives you more control over the tool and allows for a better precision when hitting the under nose area.

In order to clean the sponge wet it and clean it with a gentle soap and warm water. Then lay it flat to dry.

The Foam Applicator Brush is an affordable tool, which cannot be said about the Beauty Blender. The look we are going to achieve with The Eco-Tool is comparable to the Beauty Blender one. Choosing the Eco Tool however will help saving you some money and the natural environment.
