Beauty Blender DUPE! The Morphe Flawless Beauty Sponge

The Beauty Blender has not only been a holy grail in our lives, but a staple to legendary makeup artists around the world. It is definitely one of the most versatile beauty tools out there. With multiple companies coming out with their own beauty sponges, it never hurts to try them out and compare!

Today, we got the Morphe Brushes Flawless Beauty Sponge (image below). Here's what we think:


Firmness: When dry, it can seem intimidating considering how stiff and firm it feels, but once dampened, it has a great bounce to it. But it is a tad firmer than the original Beauty Blender when dampened.

Blend: Whether you are using this beauty tool to blend out your foundation, concealer, or cream contour, you will get a streak-free application.

Absorption: Dampened beauty sponges are bound to soak up some of your liquid foundation or concealer, which prevents cakey application. However, I did notice that the Morphe sponge does soak up a bit more product compared to the Beauty Blender.

Shape: The shape of the Morphe beauty sponge is a curved, tear drop. The indentations on the sides is great to allow your to have a good grip, especially when you're trying to blend out your under-eye concealer. The "butt" end of the sponge is also wider compared to the Beauty Blender once dampened, which will allow you to cover a larger area quicker. However, one problem with the shape is that once the sponge is dampened, the pointy-edge can get too big to get into the crevices and inner-corners of the eyes.

Cleaning: We were able to snag the Blvd. Cosmetics Brush Shampoo and Conditioner on the Morphe Brushes website and thought we could test this out and compare it to the Solid Cleanser by Beauty Blender! Detailed review with before and afters to follow on our next post!

Final Thoughts: If you're on the hunt for an affordable beauty sponge, look no further. The Morphe Flawless Sponge provides high quality at a much lower price point ($6.99). It's definitely a close dupe to the Beauty Blender and is much better than other beauty sponges on the market.

The Morphe Flawless Beauty Sponge is currently sold out on their website, but they are very good with sending alerts when a product is back in stock.
