Beauty sponges are super versatile—they work with liquids, creams, and powders for everything from application and contouring to blending and setting. Beyond the classic pointed egg, they come in all shapes, sizes, densities, and textures. To help you narrow it down, we researched today's best-sellers and tested dozens in our NYC Lab. Here are the sponges that performed best.

Whether you apply a full face of makeup daily or just on special occasions, you'll want the right tools in your arsenal. In addition to a few good brushes, no modern makeup kit is complete without a couple of sponges. Professional makeup artist Sophia Nawabi prefers them over brushes . "They're sanitary, easier, and much cheaper to dispose of after each client's use," she says. "I can use my sponge wet or dry [for] completely different finishes."

What We Like

• Unique shape

• Good for blending

• Leaves foundation smooth

• Works wet or dry

What We Don't Like

• No precision tip

Material: Latex-free sponge | Shape: Egg with flat side and tip | Size: Medium

After trying seemingly countless makeup sponges, Fenty's Precision 100 was the clear winner. This mid-size latex-free sponge is lightweight and airy with a soft, bouncy feel. It's absorbent but not so much that it'll soak up all your makeup and leave none for your skin. We love the unique shape, too. It's essentially an egg with one flat side and a flattened mini-moon tip.

You can apply liquids and creams with precision, then blend them out into an airbrushed finish. The flat side and moon tip are also great for stamping on finishing powder, and the rounded bottom is ideal for all-over buffing. As for cleaning, the foundation washes off easily, and the beige color makes the sponge look less stained. We just wish it had a tip for reaching tight crevices on the face.

What We Like

• Has a pointed tip and flat side

• Dense yet bouncy

• Easy to clean

What We Don't Like

• Gets very large when damp

Material: Dense foam | Shape: Pointed egg with flat side | Size: Medium

This wallet-friendly sponge is dense yet bouncy foam and doesn't soak up all the product. When testing it we found it super easy to blend. While it expands to over twice the original size when damp, we appreciate that you can use it wet or dry.

The egg-shaped design features a pointed tip and one flat side. We used the wide rounded base to apply creams and buff out larger areas, the flat side for smaller areas, and the point for corners. It's also super easy to clean—all the foundation came right out when we tried washing it.

What We Like

• Soft and bouncy

• Versatile

• MUA-recommended

What We Don't Like

• Tricky to clean

Material: Latex-free polyurethane foam | Shape: Egg with pointed tip | Size: Large

Celebrity makeup artist Renée Loiz is a huge fan of Beautyblender. "They have a ton of different shapes to cater to specific parts of your face," she says.

The Original Beautyblender can be used wet or dry for application, contouring, blending, setting, and baking. We thought the large side of the egg was perfect for the cheeks and forehead, while the pointed tip was ideal for around the nose and blending under-eye concealer. We especially liked the feel of this soft, bouncy sponge against our skin. Our only complaint is that it's hard to get all the makeup out when cleaning it.

What We Like

• User-friendly

• Easy to clean

What We Don't Like

• Not recommended for wet use

Material: Sponge | Shape: Pointed pear | Size: Large

Calling it "the Goldilocks of beauty blenders," one of our testers said this soft and bouncy sponge by L'Oréal plays well with water but isn't too absorbent so it won't soak up all your product.

The pointed pear shape isn't particularly unique, but it's exceptionally versatile and user-friendly. It's perfect for applying products, blending, contouring, and buffing out the corners of your face. This makeup sponge is also notably easy to clean. It just isn't the best to use wet.

What We Like

• Great value

• Dense yet soft

• Easy to clean

What We Don't Like

• Absorbs lots of product

• All one size

Material: Latex-free foam | Shape: Egg | Size: Large

With this six-pack from Beauty Bakerie, you can designate one blender for each step of your glam routine. Each egg-shaped sponge is made from latex-free foam and features a narrower tip for easy, seamless application and blending of liquids or powders.

We liked the dense yet soft and bouncy feel of the foam. While they're all one size, the sponges get really big when wet, and the smaller end is great for getting into the corners of your face. They're easy to clean, too, but bear in mind the absorbent material soaks up a lot of product.
