Some people prefer black makeup sponges because they show stains less than light-colored sponges between washes. Otherwise, a black sponge works like any other: tap it over foundation, concealer, or contour to blend. Because stains are less visible, it's still important to wash it on a regular schedule.
Black vs light sponges
| Feature | Black sponge | Light sponge |
|---|---|---|
| Stains | Less visible | More visible |
| Knowing when to wash | Use a schedule | Easier to see buildup |
| Blending | Same technique | Same technique |
