FAQs about Makeup Sponges

• Should I wet my makeup sponge before foundation?

  Yes, when using a makeup sponge for foundation, a slightly damp sponge helps the product blend more naturally and evenly. Squeeze out the excess water well before application, so the base does not become watery. 01 Ultra Soft Makeup Sponge can be used wet or dry, depending on the coverage you want.

• How do I use a makeup sponge correctly?

  Use a makeup sponge with gentle tapping motions, rather than rubbing the product across the skin. Start with a small amount of foundation and build coverage gradually, especially around the nose and eyes. 01 Ultra Soft Makeup Sponge suits base, concealer and cream products, while 03 Slanted Pebble helps with angles and contours.

• Foundation brush or makeup sponge which should I choose?

  Choose a makeup sponge for foundation if you want a more natural, lightweight finish without visible streaks. A brush usually gives more coverage and control, while a sponge creates a softer, skin-like result. For an everyday base, 01 Ultra Soft Makeup Sponge is a practical option, while 04 Cushion Sponge suits quick touch-ups.

• How often should I replace my makeup sponge?

  It is best to replace your makeup sponge every 1–3 months, depending on how often you use it and its condition. If it smells, tears or no longer cleans properly, replace it sooner. The Mon Reve sponge range includes options for base, concealer and touch-ups, so you can easily refresh the tool you use most.

• How do I clean a makeup sponge properly?

  Clean your makeup sponge with lukewarm water and a mild cleanser, gently squeezing it until the product comes out. Avoid harsh rubbing and let it dry in a well-ventilated place, not inside a closed bag. For a complete routine before or after make-up, 10 Facial Cleansing Glove Sponge supports skin prep and care.
