How to Use a Bevel-Cut Makeup Sponge

A bevel-cut makeup sponge has a flat, angled face in addition to its rounded sides. Use the rounded part to blend foundation over large areas, the flat bevel to press powder or blend contour, and the edge of the bevel to reach around the nose and under the eyes.

Which part does what?

Part Best for
Rounded side Foundation across cheeks and forehead
Flat bevel Pressing powder, blending contour
Bevel edge Sides of the nose, under the eyes
