Sea Sponges are great for delivering irregular makeup patterns.

Use natural sea sponges for applying large amounts of color. Unlike manufactured sponges, sea sponges are natural so no two are ever the same. Therefore, they apply color in an uneven, organic way that creates natural looking texture, even when using a wiping motion.

Use a stippling or tapping motion to create the soft, irregular patterns that replicate the natural world. Use these sponges to create amazing characters or works of body art. Natural Sea Sponges also have a place in beauty makeup. They can be used to apply cake foundation to great effect. The texture of the sponge allows for a more natural application of these makeups, without the cakey, streaky finish.

Cutting a large sponge into smaller pieces makes it easier to handle and last longer. Most makeup will wash out of the sponge so you can use it over and over again.
