Material of Makeup Sponge

Makeup sponges come in a variety of materials with different textures. While some materials are soft and porous, others are non-porous. Look for a material that's soft and porous, like polyurethane, if you have dry skin. Polyurethane face sponges are ideal for dry skin, as you can dampen them during application.

If you have oily skin, look for a sponge made from a non-porous material like silicone, as it doesn't absorb oils. For combination skin, choose a makeup puff sponge that you can use, damp or dry.

The density of a beauty sponge affects how it applies makeup. High-density makeup sponges provide better coverage and absorb less product, making them ideal for oily skin. 

Softer sponges with low density work well for dry skin. They apply makeup lightly, pressing it into the skin without causing irritation or flaking.   

For combination and normal skin, medium-density sponges are a perfect middle ground. They don't absorb excess oil, and they aren't too absorbent for dry areas.

The absorption rate of a blending sponge affects how much product it absorbs when you use it. High absorption leads to wasted product, while low absorption means more product stays on your skin.
