do these sponges work well with mineral (powder) foundations? I apply mineral powder with a flocked sponge but would like to try these.

You use these damp too set your make-up.....they would not work for applying mineral powder

I wouldn't recommend these for any make up other than liquid foundation and concealers

I haven't used them with mineral powder myself (I prefer liquid foundation) but these are nearly identical to the Beauty Blender, and I've seen tons of MUAs on YouTube using the BB to apply mineral foundations. EnKoreMakeup's How To: Beauty Blender video covers how to do it very well.

I would say no. They are pretty stiff and too firm.more rubbery than spongey. Not absorbent at all. I don't use mine.

I'm not quite sure if this certain brush is recommended for that but Ive heard that the ecotools domed bronzer brush is great for mineral powder. It's around the same cost so I hope that helps (:

Yes, it should. Just make sure your sponge applicator isn't too wet. You need the clay applied almost full "strength" to do its job on hard water.

Use those magic eraser sponges, they work great! You need to wet them first use ...always read directions.

yes. this question is answered on the Seachem Flourite FAQ: A: "Flourite®will work fine with an UGF. Flourite®is ideally sized and has a clay based composition (including minerals such as iron and manganese) that is ideal for plant growth. Flourite®will not soften or decompose to an unsuitable state"

Make sure you are using the ph bond under the foundation. Try putting a thinner layer of each on and make sure u r "baking" the polish long enough between coats

Daniel, I don't use mineral make up but I did try it on eyeshadow and it did not work for me. Dry, it did nothing and damp it made my eyeshadow blotchy.

Hi, try to mix smaller amount , powder and concrete, and see. That is what I would do. It could work, my only concern is color of concrete , if concrete would be transparent, but it is not.Just try small amount, I have faith, that it could work.

The black color of the sponge doesn't bleed like the pink color did. It makes foundation in the sponge look more apparent, however.In addition, upon receiving a genuine set of black sponges, I feel they are skinnier and somewhat less soft than the pink ones.

I use it with one of the nylon mesh "pouf" sponges. I'm amazed at how much foam is produced with so little soap using that sort of sponge. The sponge is good for loosening dry skin as well. Perfect combo.

I'm pretty sure they would work well for clay. I love them for fondant texture...... which is similar to clay.

I have only used it with the bare minerals foundation so I can not say if it does. Sorry

YES! make sure to wet the sponge thoroughly before using it. 1) make sure its very damp 2) squeeze out the excess water so the sponge isn't dripping 3) make sure the sponge is nice and moist ( I make sure its extra moist for mine, so the sponge doesn't soak up a lot of my foundation...that's my opinion haha) These steps helped my foundation look beautiful with an airbrush finish(:

It's actually one of the best primers I've ever used with mineral makeup and you don't have to use as much makeup as you usually would. I have very deep and enlarged pores and most primers don't quite do it, but I'd give this one a 10. Hope this helps you.

hi Joel; It's my first time using powder...I grow in soil. I never had any clogging problems while mixing...I feel if you mix the water well you will not have a problem. I use a paint mixer attached to a cordless drill for mixing.

I wouldn't use this for mineral powder foundation - it's more of a coarse brush that works well with spreading liquid formulations. I think kabuki brushes work better for mineral powder foundations.

I have fine lines and a few wrinkles and it seems to cover really well. However, I do put a light layer of Mineral powder foundation over my whole face after I touchup the "trouble" spots with the color science corrector. I believe this is meant to be use under your foundations to help smooth out your color before you add foundation on top. At least that is what I found to work best for me. I love this product and hope you will too.
