💧 Step 1: Prep the Sponge (The Damp Rule)

Key Concept: The sponge works best when it's saturated with water, which prevents it from absorbing too much of your makeup product.

1. Wet it: Hold the sponge under running water until it's completely saturated and has expanded significantly (it should almost double in size).

    

2. Squeeze it: Crucially, wring out all the excess water.

    

3. Dampen: For the best results, you can also squeeze it lightly inside a clean towel or paper towel. The goal is for the sponge to be damp, not dripping wet. It should feel cool and bouncy.

    

✨ Step 2: Apply the Product (The Bounce Rule)

Key Concept: Use a bouncing or stippling motion to press the product into your skin, rather than dragging it across the surface.

1. Get Product: Apply your liquid or cream makeup (foundation, concealer, BB cream, contour, or cream blush) onto the back of your hand or directly onto your face in small dots.

    

2. Dab/Bounce: Dip the sponge into the product, then gently bounce or stipple it onto your skin. Use light, quick dabbing motions.

    

   • DO NOT Drag or Wipe: This creates streaks and moves the product around instead of blending it. Bouncing pushes the product into the skin for a seamless look.

      

3. Build Coverage: Continue bouncing over the area until the product is fully blended. You can build up coverage by adding more product and bouncing again.

    

🧼 Step 4: Clean and Maintain

• Clean Regularly: It's highly recommended to wash your sponge with a gentle cleanser (like a solid or liquid sponge cleanser, or mild soap) after every use to prevent product buildup and bacteria.

   

• Air Dry: Let your sponge air dry completely in an open space. Do not store it in an airtight container when damp.

   

• Replace: Replace your sponge every 3 to 6 months, similar to your mascara or toothbrush.

   

💡 Quick Tips

• Sheer vs. Full Coverage: A damp sponge tends to give a more natural, sheer-to-medium coverage. For fuller coverage, you can use the sponge barely damp or dry, though this may absorb more product.

• Setting Powder: You can also use a damp sponge to apply setting powder or to "bake" under your eyes for a smooth, creaseless finish
