How much larger would the sponge get if I decide to wet it?
- Asked by Diamond
- Official Answer By Real Techniques - Brand EngageHi there. Great question! It doesn't become massive - maybe about 10-15% larger overall, I would say. Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Do I need to wet it to use? Or just use it dry?
- Asked by Amber b
- Official Answer By Real Techniques - Brand EngageHi there - the great thing about this sponge is that you can use it wet or dry. You use it damp for a more natural, dewy look. You use it dry if you want slightly fuller coverage. Just make sure that, if you're using it when it's wet, you rinse it clean and squeeze all the moisture out of it & let it air dry.

- Q
how do you use this sponge? do you wet it, or use it dry? I have very oily skin and would prefer a matte finish.
- Asked by Jazz
- Official Answer By Real Techniques - Brand EngageHi there, The great thing about this sponge is that it is so versatile, you can use it wet or dry, depending on the look you're going for. So, if you want a dewy coverage (which it doesn't sound like you do), you would use it damp. For more of a matte/full coverage, you would want to use it dry. Thanks!Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
WHY oh why did you guys change the product material? I used to love these so much and I bought several more recently only to find out they're not anything like the old sponges. They used to be soft, now they're firm and dense and work terribly. The difference was noticeable as soon as I touched it! Will you ever go back to the old (way better) material?
- Asked by Disappointed Ex-Buyer
- Official Answer By Real Techniques - Brand EngageHi there, I'm so sorry you're not having the same amazing experience with our sponges. I've spoken to our Product Development team and they have said they haven't changed the formula drastically. They also did tell me that each batch of sponges can be a lot like a batch of cookies - there may be slight differences in each one, but it sounds like you're experiencing something different. I will share your comments with the team as well. Thanks so much for letting us know.Was this answer helpful to you

I purchased this product a few days ago and when I ran it under water and squeezed the excess out, white soapy/foamy liquid came out. Is this normal?
- Asked by Erin
- Verified Reply - Brand ExpertHi Erin, We don't apply any sort of soap or foam when we manufacture these, so that shouldn't have happened. If you want to contact our Customer Service team, the # is: 1(844) 284-0774 Thanks - and sorry about that experience!Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Hi. Right now I am using a brush to apply my foundation but I feel like it's not giving me the coverage I need. Would a beauty blender be a better option?
- Asked by BMW
- Verified Reply - Brand ExpertHi BMW, We get this question a lot, so you are definitely not alone. I think you might like the level of coverage you get with our Miracle Complexion Sponge. You can use the sponge dry for fuller coverage, or wet it (and squeeze out excess water) to get a slightly less-full, more dewy look. The one thing to note with a sponge - these do need to be cleaned every week to two weeks and then replaced every 60-90 days since they're porous. But they're really inexpensive, so no one seems to mind that at all! Thanks!Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Can this be washed, and how? How long may I reuse it?
- Asked by Maddi
- Verified Reply - Brand ExpertHi Maddi, Great Question!! :) A lot of it depends on how often you are using your Miracle Sponge, and how much makeup you typically wear. We recommend that you wash your sponge at least once a week with makeup shampoo (make sure you also squeeze out any excess water and let it dry in an open, cool, dry place). If you're a heavy makeup wearer, we would recommend replacing between 30-60 days. If you're on the lighter makeup side, we would recommend replacing every 60-90 days. And obviously if it seems really dirty and gross, make sure you replace it asap! :) Hope that helps!Was this answer helpful to you

- Q
I bought this recently because of all of the good reviews. How come when I use it, I don't get great coverage like everyone else is? It just feels like i need to keep reapplying more foundation, which is of course not good. I pump my fenty foundation on the back of my hand, dot on my face, and then try to blend. Am I doing something wrong?
- Asked by Jasmine H
- Verified Reply - Brand ExpertHi Jasmine, Thanks for your question. Our experts recommend that you slightly dampen the sponge before use. You also will want to use lighter, sweeping motions, which will blend the product along the surface area of your face. Pressing the sponge hard on your face may cause more absorption overall. All in all, brushes and sponges will absorb a small amount of the product, just by their very nature; but overall, you shouldn't find that it's absorbing a significant amount. To be perfectly honest, I'm much more of a fan of using brushes, rather than sponges, just because I think I get better coverage with brushes. There are so many people who love their sponge, but I'm one of those who will pick up a brush any day! Thanks. Hope that helps.Was this answer helpful to you

My Go-To Makeup Sponge for Years!
I first got the Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Makeup Blending Sponge from BoxyCharm, and then I was thrilled to see it in stores at Ulta! I've been using this sponge for years, and it's the only one I'll ever go back to. Perfect for blending foundation flawlessly every time soft, durable, and just works.
They are not the same
I dont understand what happened to these. This was the absolute best brand to apply foundation, I normally would have given it 10 stars, been using it for years but the last 2 or 3 times ive bought them, they work different now. It soaks up half my foundation and doesn't blend it very well, I have to really take my time to make it work, which sucks bcoz no other sponge that ive tried, worked for me, expensive or not.
Great
She blended in my makeup great
I will buy this produce again
This sponge works well for my makeup
