really interesting product [SEP] i have been a makeup artist for over years and have always been a fan of a dense foam sponge my favorite one has an antibacterial strip inside i am honestly not sure if i am ready to ditch the sponge but using this silicone sponge is at least an interesting adventure it is squishy and yet dense and when using the makeup just slides almost like magic the makeup finish is smooth and there is no residue left on the sponge to speak of it all stays on the face if i did not want to use this as a makeup sponge i would be using it as a stress reliever it is so cool to squish and squash
