So much better than a blender sponge! [SEP] I love that I can wash & dry these with the hand soap on my counter after each use.  Makes me feel much better than with the sponges - the repeated washings, the discoloration, the worry about germs & bacteria, & the expensive cleaners.<br />I have no real skill when it comes to makeup application, but even I couldn't mess this up.  Anything I could apply with my fingers (concealer, foundation, creams, etc), I can apply with these AND there's ZERO product absorbed or wasted.
