Machine Washable Makeup Sponge by The Makeup Eraser

What it is

THE SPONGE is a reusable, machine-washable makeup sponge engineered to apply foundation, concealer, contour, bronzer, or highlight with precision and sustainability. Leveraging the brand’s SmartErase™ Technology™, it combines high-performance application with a washable design to reduce waste.

Why we love it

• Engineered to last up to 2× longer than the average makeup sponge/blender, thanks to machine-washable construction. 

• Versatile use: can apply makeup wet or dry — damp for a sheer finish (sponge expands ~2× size), dry for fuller coverage. 

• Vegan, cruelty-free, hypoallergenic, latex-free and non-toxic—ideal for conscious beauty routines. 

How to use

1. Dampen or leave dry depending on your finish preference. If you prefer a sheer, natural look, wet the sponge; for fuller coverage, leave it dry. 

2. Apply product by gliding or swiping the sponge across the face: use circular motions for a blended brush-effect finish, or dab for a more sponge-imitated finish. 

3. Clean regularly—at least once a week machine wash and dry (use the included wash-ball) to maintain hygiene and prolong lifespan. 

Tip: After heavy makeup use or buildup, soak THE SPONGE in a gentle facial cleanser for 15–60 minutes before machine washing to ensure complete residue removal.
