How are the SofSmooth™ and SofSculptor™ makeup blenders different from the commercially available ones?
Instagram friendly airbrushed effect to outdo your old beauty blender. Conserves and concentrates both liquid and powder foundation to even out irregular skin pigmentation, blot out blemishes without the
cakiness but with full, even coverage. The makeup sponge has been designed to have antimicrobial properties compared to traditional makeup sponges. For optimal antibacterial effects, wash sponge weekly in lukewarm soapy Miel Honey™ Cleanser (work a pea sized amount to lather). SofSilk™ technology enables the sponge to be much more durable than traditional blenders with regular use. However, due to regular wear and exposure to the environment, for best results replace the makeup sponge every 1-3 months.
