This New Beauty Applicator Works Just Like Your Fingers

The beauty community has seen its fair share of wild new makeup applicators this year. Remember the infamous silisponge, or its glittery cousin, the Evie blender? This month, Smashbox is looking to enter the applicator arena by launching their new Photo Filter Gel Cushion Applicator. Applying liquid or cream products with fingers can give the face an airbrushed finish when done properly, but often results in your hands and fingers becoming an unsanitary mess. With Smashbox’s new applicator, you can get the same effect without the hassle and cleanup. The applicator’s ridged texture allows it to mimic a finger, while its diamond shape helps give you an even coverage in every nook and cranny of your face. 

Once you’ve finished your #look, you can easily clean this applicator with warm, soapy water – definitely a lot easier to care for than sponge applicators. If you’re looking to up your makeup game, you can get your hands on the Photo Filter Gel Cushion Applicator for $20 at Smashbox.
