Our picks of the best makeup sponges for concealer may surprise you. We’re not big fans of the mini sponges many brands make specifically for concealer. Instead we prefer the space and blending prowess of the OG, full sized makeup sponges. Specifically we love the original Beauty Blender and the Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge.

Both of these sponges have the perfect texture for blending both foundation and concealer (and concealer into foundation, very important). The size and shape of ’em make them the best makeup sponges basically ever. You can use the pointed end for precise concealing and the larger end for blending into your skin.

Our concealing routine starts with under eye bags and less than optimal sleep.

We apply concealer just where we need it, in the darkest areas of the eye.

Then using the pointed end of the sponge we dab to spread out that concealer to cover absolutely everything.

Dabbing helps to keep the concealer concentrated as opposed to wiping that moves the concealer around. It’s also a key move to learn when you’re trying leg contouring.

After spreading out the concealer over the whole under eye area, we use the larger area of the sponge to make sure the concealer is blended into the skin and foundation.
