CUSHY NUMBERS

It seems that sponges are the new brushes for make-up application and they’re particularly handy when they’re of the built-in variety! Here are three of the latest…

For colour correcting: The sponge applicators on the Maybelline Master Camo Color Correcting Sticks, $19.99, make it easy to get into tricky places where we often have discolouration, such as the corners of the eyes or around the nose. They come in a range of colours – the green one is for counteracting redness.

For concealing: We love how the velvety tip of the Natio Under Eye Cushion Concealer, $21.50, doesn’t drag the skin around this delicate area. This formula definitely leaves the under-eye area looking more soft-focused and luminous.

For defining brows: Wind up the cushion end of the Shiseido Eyebrow Styling Duo, $60, to reveal an eyebrow powder that helps to fill in gaps for beautifully shaped, natural-looking brows. The pencil end is perfect for mimicking eyebrow hairs. It comes in four shades.
