I have been a staunch foundation brush user for YEARS! I'm not even sure why, but decided to just try a sponge from another brand, which I didn't mind. Then Nikkia Joy Cosmetics were having a sale so I decided to give hers a try. This is the softest, most beautiful to use sponge EVER. Highly recommend it. Do yourself a favour, even if, like me, you've always been a brush fan. You won't regret it
