Top-Rated Makeup Sponges at Sephora

10 Top-Rated Makeup Sponges From Sephora — All Under $20

As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.

When it comes to foundation, you can spread it with your fingers, buff it with a brush, or bounce it on with a makeup sponge. (And how does bouncing it on not sound the most fun?)

If you're new to the makeup-sponge game, know that this option comes in a variety of shapes to target different areas on your face and, while most can be used dry, many of them work best when soaked under water and squeezed out to start. Plus, they're not just for base makeup, as they can also be used with primers, powders, and even blush.

There are dozens of these squishy makeup applicators sold at Sephora, but the 10 included here have the best reviews from other shoppers, with each one earning at least an average four-star rating. Check them out ahead.
