The Beautyblender (£17) needs no introduction. The latex-free, hot-pink makeup sponge revolutionised the beauty industry, making it easier for makeup artists and consumers alike to achieve a natural, flawless-looking finish when applying complexion products. But what's made the Beautyblender so loved is that it does way more than put on foundation. You can use it with cream blushes, bronzers, highlighers, and eye shadows, and the cone shape allows you to not only apply, but to also blend, blur, pick up excess product, clear away mistakes, and touch up throughout the day. And here's a little-known fact: you can use it with powders, too.
