Step 1: Wet the Sponge

Before you begin applying your makeup, dampen your sponge and squeeze out any excess water. This step will allow your products to seamlessly melt into your skin and provide a natural-looking finish. Keep in mind that your sponge should be slightly damp, not dripping wet. 

Step 2: Apply Product in a Dabbing Motion

Pour a small amount of liquid foundation (or whichever product you are applying) onto the back of your hand, then dip the rounded end of your sponge into the makeup and begin applying it on your face. Do not rub or drag the sponge across your skin. Instead, gently dab or blot the area until your foundation is completely blended. Use the same dabbing technique when applying concealer underneath your eyes and cream blush to your cheeks. You can also use your sponge for blending cream contour products and liquid highlighter.
