These days, it’s rare not to have a Beauty Blender tucked into your makeup bag. The iconic pink sponge is a staple in many people’s beauty routines. Not only does it effortlessly blends out makeup, but it makes the application of everything from foundation and concealer to cream blush and highlighter totally seamless and creates an airbrushed finish. However, $20 for a makeup sponge isn’t the most wallet-friendly purchase.
Luckily, Amazon has a ton of Beauty Blender affordable alternatives available for as little as a few bucks. From value packs to standout duos, we’ve tracked down five of the very best makeup sponges that are just as good as the original Beauty Blender — and cost a fraction of the price. Keep scrolling to see all of our top picks!
Beauty Blender affordable alternatives to buy on Amazon
This set of five makeup sponges has more than 80,000 ratings on Amazon, so you know it's got to be something special. Available in several color combos, the non-latex BEAKEY makeup sponges are super soft to the touch and keep their shape no matter how often you use them. You can use them wet or dry, but as with most makeup sponges, we recommend using them when damp!
AOA's Paw Paw makeup sponges might look like Beauty Blenders, but you can bring home a pack of $6 for half the price of one Beauty Blender! Plus, these bouncy, latex-free sponges can help you achieve your ideal coverage level. Like the OG blender, this design features a pointed tip to get into small corners and a rounded side to use on your cheeks and larger areas to build up your coverage.
Real Techniques is a favorite of brand makeup artists and newbies alike. The Miracle Complexion sponge is the brand's No. 1 makeup blending sponge and is ideal for those who prefer light to medium coverage looks. According to its product description, the vegan and cruelty-free sponge's "signature 3-point precision application design will give you a full-face look that is dewy and evenly blended."
If you're looking for a pack of differently shaped makeup sponges to give you the most versatility, definitely add these Foonbe Makeup Sponges to your Amazon cart. This set of three includes two beauty sponges with a flat side and one beauty sponge with a round side (like the classic Beauty Blender). These professional-grade sponges double in size when wet and are very dense, so they absorb less of your makeup.
Want the most bang for your buck? If yes, look no further than InnoGear's 10-piece makeup sponge set. In this mega set, you'll receive five waterdrop-shaped and five cut-surface sponges to tackle any beauty look you want. The brand promises that these sponges won't easily crack or tear and will keep your skin comfortable, as they're both non-latex and non-allergenic.
The City of Vancouver is fighting an arbitrator’s decision requiring it to pay for the first four days of sick leave for fire service employees. The city has gone to the B.C. Court of Appeal in a bid to overturn a January decision that found it broke provincial law when it refused to give four initial sick days to some of its firefighters last year. The ruling could cost the city more than $800,000 in back pay and set a precedent for eight other Lower Mainland municipalities with similar contrac
Broadway’s starry Merrily We Roll Along revival had another strong run of previews last week, grossing a hefty $1,471,644 and setting another house record at the Hudson Theatre. The Stephen Sondheim-George Furth musical starring Daniel Radcliffe, Jonathan Groff and Lindsay Mendez topped the venue’s previous seven-performance record of $1,431,543, held by David Byrne’s American Utopia. …
The Big Ten has long staked its reputation on a rough-and-tough brand of football. It's one reason NFL scouts still spend Saturday afternoons scouring the fields in places such as Iowa City, State College, Madison or Columbus. It's why almost anywhere they go, from Michigan to Northwestern to Purdue, they find guys who can shut down explosive plays alongside playmakers capable of turning close games into blowouts.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is leading a bipartisan congressional delegation to China next week, traveling to the country amid heightened tensions and after several members of President Joe Biden’s Cabinet visited over the summer. Schumer, along with Republican Sen. Mike Crapo of Idaho, is visiting government and business leaders in China, South Korea and Japan “with the goal of advancing U.S. economic and national security interests” in the region, his office said Tuesday. Schumer — a long time critic of China — plans to talk to Chinese officials about human rights, concerns about Chinese-made fentanyl in American cities and China’s “role in the international community,” his office said, as well as areas for potential cooperation.
B.C.’s Workers’ Compensation Board has a conundrum most would envy: what do you do with $2.7 billion? For now, the province’s Ministry of Labour says: Nothing. Over the past 10 years, WorkSafeBC has built up a massive surplus thanks to investments and steady premium payments from businesses. Labour Minister Harry Bains describes it as a fiscal triumph that has helped WorkSafeBC keep costs steady even as it improves services for injured workers. But businesses and labour groups are jockeying to h
The Canadian dollar weakened to a six-month low against its U.S. counterpart on Tuesday as surging long-term borrowing costs spooked investors and despite hawkish comments from a Bank of Canada policymaker. "It's been dragged around with higher U.S. yields, that's for sure," said Amo Sahota, director at Klarity FX in San Francisco. "The U.S. dollar has been on an 11-week run to the upside, so that's not necessarily helping the loonie."
El Salvador's political parties launched their campaigns for the upcoming presidential elections on Tuesday, amid vocal criticism from the opposition that President Nayib Bukele will seek re-election despite it being prohibited by the constitution. More than 6 million Salvadorans are set to hit the polls on Feb. 4 to elect a president and vice president, who govern for five-year terms. A recent poll by Francisco Gavidia University's Citizen Studies Center found that Bukele and his running mate, Vice President Felix Ulloa, have 68.4% support from voters, with the next-closest competitors at just 4.3%.
