ORIGINAL Beautyblender® Makeup Sponge

The material they’re using now is different and of lesser quality than what they were using in previous years. The material used to be smooth and now it’s slightly rough and the holes of the sponge are visible. It’s definitely not the same product and customers shouldn’t be charged the same amount for lesser quality. Lastly, when cleaning, the pink dye runs (see pics) - this also never happened with the prior years’ products.

BEAUTY BLENDER I HOPE YOU SEE THIS. WEEE CAN TELLL THE DIFFERENCE!! Gaslight us without being open is WRONG. Been using 15 years. Just noticed the last 2 I’ve had are DIFFERENT TEXTUREE

I have been using the Beautyblender for years and was always happy with the results. Unfortunately, the most recent one I purchased is completely different. The material is significantly different from the original. This new version has a rough texture that isn't comfortable on my skin, lighterweight, and does not blend my makeup at all. They're clearly using an inferior material. Beautyblender has lost a long time customer.

Who is STILL spending $20 on makeup sponges in 2026? Well, apparently I did! Modern makeup sponge quality has improved significantly since back when this sponge was popular. TEN YEARS AGO. After a few years, I was finally at a point where I could afford to buy a Beauty Blender. The same beauty blender I would see countless in makeup tutorials growing up. However, after trying it out, I was left DISAPPOINTED. The material is slightly firmer than what I’m used to with my dupes, and I feel like I have to work harder to blend my makeup because of its smaller size. I have tried similar cheaper makeup sponges that work the same if not BETTER than this product and I will NOT be repurchasing.

every time I wash my beauty blender the pink dye fades out.

I really wanted to love this sponge, but it completely missed the mark. For $20, I expected durability, yet it started falling apart within the first few weeks. While it blended well at first, the performance only lasted about two weeks before the material started breaking down. I’m honestly shocked to see so many glowing reviews because this has been the worst-performing beauty tool I’ve purchased from Sephora so far. My $12 sponge from Target has held up for six months with zero issues, so this one was a major disappointment.

This is not my first purchase but the quality feels different. Not worth the price tag.

This blender is the perfect shape for blending all of my makeup, even under my eyes. It offers the most natural, medium coverage and is easy to clean. I love how I can use it to do my whole face without getting ten different brushes. The longevity of the product is also impressive, and I will definitely repurchase!

My favourite makeup tool. Blends well, and takes off excess makeup

I still love the BeautyBlender for blending but whatever they’ve changed about it is making it much less durable. The last two times I’ve ordered a new one, it has torn the very first time I’ve used it. I can only get a few weeks out of them now before they start to crumble.
