I just can't do brushes anymore.  I gave it a whole year.  I might use them in limited cases but omgoodness, sponge applicators just work so much better imo.  Anyone still use them?  I've got a whole package of them somewhere.  Like 50!

I am totally sponge applicators!  No one ever taught me to use a brush!  My area is color and design, clothes NOT make up!  I never even knew anyone that had brushes other than inexpensive free ones!

So funny...  we are all so different.  I used sponge applicators most of my life, but the past 10 years I've been using only brushes.  You have to use decent brushes and the right ones.  I much prefer them now over the sponges.

@monicakm I'm with you, I threw away the brushes over 10 years ago. Sponge applicators are the only way to go. I don't wear eye makeup for the last few years but loved those sponges.

I use them everytime I wear eyeshadow. I apply with the sponge and then blend with a brush but the majority is applied with a sponge applicator.

I had forgotten all about sponge applicators.  Been a long long time since I have use them.   But I think I will give them a try to ompare the difference!

While I also like brush applicators, they have to be cleaned often and I buy a huge several hundred count bags of disposable sponge ones from Amazon and that is more sanitary and work well.

I haven't thought about sponge applicators in a long time.  I grew up using them and don't remember when I stopped but it must have been years ago.  I try to cut down on disposable items so I use brushes that I keep clean.  I agree that you must use good quality brushes or you end up with little hairs all over.  I wash my brushes regularly.

@monicakm   The sponges in eyeshow compacts or a damp beauty blender type sponge for foundation?

I learned makeup application w/ brushes. Now I do use beauty blenders to blend foundation after a brush application. Eye makeup with a sponge applicator would be difficult for me to blend.  For me, they pick up a lot of product and grab onto eyelid primers or oily lids.
