Track Your Order
You don’t know how much you need this velvet microfibre makeup sponge to get a flawless base until you try it. Because honestly, we can’t do without it!
The secret to a seamless makeup base doesn’t just lie in the foundation or concealer you use; sometimes, it's all in the tool you use to blend it all.
And after trying a dozen different tools, we can safely say that the Simply Nam Velvet Microfibre Makeup Sponge is at the top of our list.
We were convinced that every makeup blender does the same job, but we were proven wrong as soon as we put it to the test. So, don’t knock it down till you’ve tried it!
Why We Decided to Switch
But before we dive into why we love the velvet microfibre makeup sponge, here are all the reasons why making the switch was necessary:
1. Product absorption
The last thing you want is your makeup blender drinking up your product, and that’s exactly what was happening.
With regular makeup sponges, more than blending on the skin, the product keeps disappearing into the sponge the moment you start blending, leaving less product for the face.
2. Compromised coverage
Less product on the face means getting only medium or sheer coverage, even after using a full-coverage foundation.
Also, in trying to blend out the base product perfectly, sometimes it diffuses the product too much, making the base look more sheer than you would’ve expected it to look.
3. Time consuming
At times, the blending just won’t seem to end, however much you keep tapping. No, it isn’t because you’re not doing it right, but because the makeup blender sometimes fails to get its job done with accuracy.
4. Extra blending
Blending your base may seem like a task in itself, and more so when you see uneven patches or streaks on your face despite a rigorous bout of blending.
But it’s not you, it’s your very average makeup sponge that doesn’t seem to get the job done in one go.
Enter: The Velvet Microfibre Makeup Sponge
The best makeup blender sponge you’ll ever come across, and here’s every reason why we love it and vouch for it so much.
1. Less product absorption
As compared to a normal makeup blender sponge, the velvet microfibre one helps to evenly distribute the product on your skin rather than soaking it all up.
This way, you save product, and can even get better coverage by using a minimal amount of product. It’s a win-win situation!
2. Smoother base
The velvety texture of this makeup sponge not only feels good on the skin but also helps you achieve a seamless, skin-like finish.
It helps diffuse the product into the skin beautifully without leaving behind any harsh lines or uneven patches. It can make your skin look like there is an IG filter on it.
3. Offers excellent coverage
This makeup blender absorbs less product, meaning there’s more product for your skin. So whether you’re using one pump of foundation or two, it’s all going to stay on your skin, offering the desired coverage.
So no more using that extra pump of product just because your sponge drank it all up the first time (at least we know we didn’t have to!)
4. Beginner-friendly
If you had this makeup sponge when you first started doing makeup, you probably wouldn’t own half the blending tools in your makeup bag right now.
That’s how easy it is to use, and that’s how well it gets the job done. All you have to do is tap it, and you’re done.
No harsh lines, no uneven patches, no extra blending till your arm hurts, just a smooth, seamless base.
5. Works with all products
The best part about this velvet microfibre makeup blender is its versatility. From foundation to blush, liquids to creams to powders, you can blend it all using this little beauty tool.
And once you get used to using just one tool to do it all, your other brushes & powder puffs will have taken the back seat in your makeup bag.
Why This Makeup Sponge Deserves a Spot in Your Routine

How to make the best use of this makeup blender sponge
1. Wet application
Dampen the sponge for wet application, which is best to blend base products and achieve a dewy base.
2. Dry application
When using it dry, only use it for powder-based products for smooth and even application and avoid cakiness.
3. Blending blush and contour
To layer blushes and contouring products, use a light hand and a stippling motion for a seamless blend without removing any base product that’s already on the skin.
4. Hard-to-reach areas
For corners that are hard to reach, like the corners of the eyes, around the nose, and even the corners of the brows or mouth, use the pointed tip of the blender for extra detailing.
5. Finishing the look
The flat base of the makeup sponge is best for pressing and finishing up the makeup look and getting an airbrushed, streak-free look.
6. Avoid dragging
Dab the blender on the skin, don’t drag to avoid unnecessary creasing or smudging.
Final Thoughts
So go ahead, get yourself this makeup sponge from Simply Nam that’s soft enough to help you achieve the desired look, and durable enough to last through everyday use.
