The beauty blender isn’t just the name of a spongey-makeup tool; it’s a brand that actually makes these goodies and other stuff. When the beautyblender launched, it became viral for its unique texture that made makeup application a breeze for almost anyone. The tool applies foundation and other products with an air brushed finish that usually is only reserved for the professionals. But the tool is also pretty hefty on the price. Naturally, you won’t see many readily picking it up, considering it needs to be changed every 3-6 months too. Ahead are some beautyblender dupes that are just as awesome, but don’t cost that much. Read on!

The EcoTools Blender also features a small, flat surface – making it perfect for precise applications on smaller features. It has an oval surface like all the other blenders, for a bouncy application. This blender sponge also comes with a resting stand and sponge. It’s absorbent like the original and applies just as well as it.

The beauty blender counterpart from PAC promises to give a high definition application. It lets the product sit on its surface rather than absorb. But it doesn’t just come with a stand, it comes with a well-ventilated storage bag – so that you can carry it wherever you go!

The blending sponge by e.l.f. had a unique shape. It features a wider bottom to apply liquids and creams to larger surfaces, and a narrow pointy top for a more precise application. It’s super soft in texture and expands easily.

While most beautyblender dupes are harder than the original, this one is apparently softer. Despite that, it doesn’t drink up much of the product, making it super close to the original. It has 3 types of surfaces – a flat one, a small tear drop and a large surface for all kinds of application.

The YBP Makeup Perfector looks just like the original beautyblender, expect that it may be a little larger. However, this homegrown dupe doesn’t win our heart because of its near original quality, but because of its storage case. It comes with a ventilated case of its own, so that you can travel with your damp makeup sponge.

The NYX Professional Makeup Cosmetic Sponge features a flat, slanted design for larger face surfaces like cheeks and forehead. It comes in 3 different designs for specific blending: “Flawless Finish”, “Precision Blending,” and “Teardrop.” You can blend and buff your makeup to perfection, depending on the way you use the sponge!

Just like the original, this inexpensive tool from our homegrown line or makeup is latex-free and has the same tear-drop shape. It practically looks the same. The material claims to be more durable and cruelty-free. It works just as well for powders, liquids and creams.
