Blend, Buff & Set
For the days you want a light layer and to get on with your life. Use this sponge damp with liquid or cream makeup; the flat edge reaches around the nose while the rounded sides handle larger areas. Let it dry fully after cleaning.

Two ends, fewer tools to dig for. The dense side works with creams and liquids, while the fluffy side diffuses powder. A handy choice for a small everyday kit when you would rather spend your morning drinking the coffee while it is hot.
Ultimate Multi-Tasker Brush - Real Techniques | Ulta Beauty
Small brush, more control. The rounded, dense bristles are designed for liquid and cream concealer, including around the eyes. Useful when you want to place a little product exactly where you want it instead of adding another full layer.
Expert Liquid and Cream Concealer Makeup Brush - Real Techniques | Ulta Beauty
For a little powder exactly where you want it. This duo includes a full-size puff and a mini, both with finger bands for control. Tap off the excess before pressing on loose or pressed powder—your whole face does not have to join the party.
