jumbo quickie blending sponge

The tarte jumbo quickie blending sponge is the oversized take on tarte's original quickie — the brand puts it at 6.5 times the volume. One flat side handles big areas of moisture-rich base, while the pointed tip takes care of the small, fiddly spots.

What it actually does

• Covers ground faster. tarte states it holds 6.5x the volume of the original quickie, so a full face takes fewer passes.
• Flat end for liquids and creams. The brand designed that side for blending moisture-rich formulas smoothly across the face.
• Precision tip for targeted work. Spot concealing on blemishes and the under-eye is what the pointed end is built for.
• Handles sculpting too. tarte's directions cover applying darker shades to carve out structure and lighter ones to lift, then tapping with the tapered end to merge them.
• Coverage changes with how you prep it. Per the brand, dry gives you a lighter finish and damp gives you fuller payoff.

How to use

1. Decide dry or damp. Leave it dry for a sheerer result; wet and squeeze it out for heavier coverage.
2. Base with the flat side. Press liquid or cream foundation outward across the face.
3. Conceal with the tip. Dot concealer onto spots or under the eyes, then work it in using the precision point.
4. Sculpt and tap out. Place your deeper and lighter shades where you want them, then tap with the tapered end until the edges disappear.
5. Wash it. Clean with a gentle soap after use and dry it fully in open air.
