I was experimenting with the silicone sponge, also known as "silisponge" and the beautyblender. What I found works best for me is to apply and dab the foundation with the silicone sponge, and when you're done, just finish the application by doing small touch ups with a damp beautyblender. It works wonders! So silisponge + beautyblender is way better than beautyblender alone. Plus, you get the advantages of the silicone sponge : needs less product to cover your face, it's a lot easier to wash, so no need to change it as often. In the end, it makes you save money 💸. Ah, also, you don't have to use your beautyblender as much, so it lasts longer. It's win win all the way! But that's just me. 😊
I totally agree. I don't have the "proper" silicone sponge but use a rounded triangle shape from my face pad set. I think the shape was for the chin or something. But there were four so I just took a couple for makeup. What's great about this one is that it's about an inch and a half long and has a sticky side (the side that's supposed to stick to your face) so it can wrap around the inside of my finger. I pat on the concealer, foundation, or cream contour or blush and can move it around a bit very quickly and using far less product. Then I go in with the beauty blender to smooth out the texture. To be fair, I like a sheer look but for spots and redness, so this is ideal for me to reduce the chance of using too much product too soon. I've also used it to spread oils when I don't want to use too much when I first start them. So there are uses... just not full-coverage foundation, me thinks.
I'm VERY late to comment, but I recently bought a silicone sponge, and I LOVED IT. The first time I tried it, it wasnt nice at all, I added too much foundation, and it was hell to Apply. The second time 'tho, I added a single drop at a time, and it actually ended up with a nice result.
I’ve tried the silicone sponge and in my opinion it isn’t the worst thing in the world but I also agree it doesn’t press it into your skin as much as the beauty blender would and it takes so much more time. It is really good to put on face masks though! Because it washes right off easily or if it’s a peel off mask it just peels off once it’s dry !
I got one today and it's easier to wash than beauty blenders now it. Is brand spanking new again looking I can't wait to were it today 5 stars I put to much mascara yesterday I had a full bottle and it's almost gone and I wiped my eye 5 or 9 times and it still on Guys you don't have to like but it took me a long time mke bye
The chicken cutlets at 0:34 had me DYING!!!! 😂😂😂 I'm currently going back and binge-watching all of your videos, as you've quickly become one of my favorite KRplusrs! Thank you for all of the educational, hilarious, and quality content. Love youuuuuu! 💕
It's great and fast for someone who wants to use very little product. It spreads the product so you need less than half as much - for me anyway. I really go for a natural look so tended to go over with the usual beauty blender for a good minute or two. Using the gel pad (I just use a small one from my face pad set that sticks to my finger and has super smooth edges) allows me to get the product on, spread it well, then finish with the sponge in less time than the blender alone. But again, I like more of a sheer coverage. Using less product has also helped in using product in the center and blending and fading out so that I don't have foundation/concealer anywhere near my hairline.
It's the safest choice for a 14 yo though who doesn't really bother to properly clean a beauty blender. My daughter is really happy with the result she gets (also let's face it, her expectations aren't too high either) plus same tool doubles as a mask applicator tool. Really convenient and helpful for a particular target group i guess. Cheers ❤
I like using a silicone sponge to fill my pores with foundation (spackle), using a gliding motion, not dabbing. Also, is it possible that Robert was using the wrong side of the sponge?
Danielle Nicole I like that silicone sponge doesn’t soak in the products. But I find it very difficult to complete the skin by only using silicone sponge, it needs finishing touch up with sponge.
@Robert Welsh I bought one of those silicone beauty blenders and I didn't like it either!! Thankfully it was really cheap in price!! Haven't used it since!!
I find the silicon ones give me nice coverage, but it kinda sits on my skin. I like to use the silicon sponge to apply it by kinda swiping it on, and then go over it with a brush to really blend it into the skin.
i personally love my silicone applicator. mine has a slightly textured side that i use for my foundation. i then use a damp beauty blender to press in setting powder. mine also has a little strap on it that i slide two fingers into for grip and control. im new to your channel and i love your videos!! thank you for the content!
@@EM-fs8nb oh i certainly do use less foundation with it! i recommend starting off with less than you normally use w/ a brush or blender just to get used to having to use less. dont want to waste any product lol
I bought the silicone sponge and didn't quite like it, but it's great for applying the charcoal/mud masks xD I don't ruin my brushes or fingers and it's easy to clean.
I am super neurotic about beauty blender cleanliness (I read a ton of horror stories right after they got popular about people never being able to clean them properly and then cutting them open and finding like, bugs and black mold and maggots etc) but the silicon blender, I've found, puts on a layer so thick you look like a plastic doll unless you're very careful and skilled - and I'm frankly too lazy. So the compromise I've found is using the silicon blender to smear the foundation on to get great coverage with very little product wasted ( i mean seriously, you need almost nothing and it doesn't absorb) and then buffing and blending it out with a beauty blender, which makes everything look more natural and leaves much less bacteria and product in the core of the sponge to create problems. I mean, hopefully. I haven't cut mine open to check yet 🤢
The beauty Blender sponges are perfectly fine. Just wash them good every use and squeeze out water and put in out somewhere to dry good. I especially like to put them in the sunlight to help kill possibly mold growth. And replace them frequently. I get several of them super cheap for a couple dollars.
Kathleen Lights and Nikkitutorials just reviewed asponge from Juno called the Velour Sponge. It's only $6 on their website. I ordered one but I'd like to hear your opinion.
Hello, ıt's bit late, but I would like to say that the way you use that sponge is not the way you should use it. Silicone sponges help you to get full coverage with less foundation, so you should use less foundation than you use to actually see its benefits. Main logic behind is to get full coverage.However, I can't say ıt's application is as easy as typical makeup sponges, but I kinda like them.
I’ve had 2 different people give me a silicone sponge and I’d never heard of it or seen it. I was like wtf is this?! 🤨 Silicone?! Really?! It’s like using a breast implant to apply foundation! 😂 💁♀️ Then I’m binging Roberts videos and see this video and I’m like 😱 This is great!! So I watch it, see Robert smacking it around and the images of meat 🤣 And thinking yep that’s what I thought when I first saw it! 🤣 Now I’m glad I didn’t try it! Doesn’t seem like a fun experience! 😬 So thank u for saving me from having to try it out! 🙏
Hey Robert, I think the point of the silicone blender is that with a beauty blender product gets picked up and stays in the blender but with the silicone, more product stays on your face and not on the blender.. but your right it is more work and doesn’t blend as well. Thanks for the video
richard diaz Yes you are right I totally forgot to mention that! I think what ever u use to apply foundation, it has to have some kind of hold on the product so it doesn’t just smear it on the face like this silicone sponge!
I'm rolling around laughing. I agree. I like the idea in theory, that it doesn't take up your product and it's less bacteria laden, but in the end....if it applies it like shit...nope. I'm going to be honest. If you're a foundation that I can't apply with my fingers and look good, not saying I always apply it with my fingers, but really, if need be, I need you to be able to do that, and if you're not, you can go away. You're not a foundation for me.
I can understand why, if you're doing someone else's face, you'd need to use a blender but if you're applying your own makeup why not just use your fingers?

This is the way. You waste much less product by using the silisponge to apply makeup and then use the blender to touch it up.
I'm VERY late to comment, but I recently bought a silicone sponge, and I LOVED IT. The first time I tried it, it wasnt nice at all, I added too much foundation, and it was hell to Apply. The second time 'tho, I added a single drop at a time, and it actually ended up with a nice result.
When he doesn't like something the facial expression and grunts he has crack me up lol.
Same here! 😄

Hi Robert, I like your channel and wish you a lot of success.
Perfect! I love you❤️❤️❤️

I had one, and I thought it was awful as well. Figured I was doing something wrong since everyone else was loving them. Glad to know it's not just me!

I like to use silicone sponge to spread the product on the face and then use beauty blender to tap it into the skin
What is the point then of using both? Curious, I have never tried one

@Robert Welsh I bought one of those silicone beauty blenders and I didn't like it either!! Thankfully it was really cheap in price!! Haven't used it since!!
I have one by ulta that is the silicone sponge on one side but is a regular sponge one the other. I like it quite a bit. 🙂

Do you find that you use less foundation with it? I just bought the same textured silicon sponge you described and I’m excited to use it!

@@thalia_1701 amazing, thank you!!✨
i love the silicone one and the products doesn't get absorbed in to the silicone sponges and they are a lot easier to clean

I use mine to patt in my sunscreen
I feel like the silicone one is easier to clean therefore more hygienic
i use silicone sponge for lotions, serums, and sunscreen but not makeup

You are so adorable !
Hi Robert
Carl Eaves hi!
I want to learn more about makeup .

Not Gona lie, but I 100% prefer double chin Robert, than skinny mini robert lol, I know he prolly would disagree, but still
I can understand why, if you're doing someone else's face, you'd need to use a blender but if you're applying your own makeup why not just use your fingers?
I hate the silicone sponge, threw mine away 😐
