Epic Effects' Stipple Makeup Sponge is a versatile tool designed to help you create rich textured effects with makeup. The oblong sponge measures approximately 5.5 cm long and fits comfortably in your hand. It is made of foam and features large, unevenly open cells ideal for stippling and creating various textures. The Stipple Makeup Sponge works exceptionally well with Epic Effects water-based makeup, but it can also be used with other types of makeup, including cream-based formulas. To use the sponge if you're working with water-based cosmetics, dampen the sponge with water to ensure optimal performance. Then, apply the desired cosmetic makeup to the sponge, adding water as needed to achieve the desired consistency. Apply the makeup to the skin or prosthetic using gentle patting motions, creating a stippled appearance and building the desired texture. After use, cleaning the sponge thoroughly with mild soap is important to remove any residue and maintain its performance for future applications. The Stipple Makeup Sponge is valuable for achieving professional-looking textured effects in your makeup application.
