hard to get clean [SEP] i liked the way this sponge smoothed out my foundation i like all the angles you could possibly use for application anywhere on your face but i found it difficult to remove the foundation from the sponge the pic is after use and several cleanings with mild soap it is entirely possible that the foundation itself is hard to remove i do not know but i am disappointed i could not get it cleaner than this i will continue to use and wash the sponge to see if maybe a different soap would clean betteroverall i like the sponge
