How to apply the products with the ColourPop Blending Sponges?
All of the ColourPop sponges included within the Full Beat Blending Sponge Kit should be wet with water or setting spray before applying any product. However, do not apply the product directly to each sponge.
For the best application, dab foundation or concealer directly on the face. Then, use each sponge to blend. Alternatively, apply the product to the back of your hand. Then, apply.
The Silicone and Velvet Blending Sponges best apply full coverage or cream-based products. In fact, these sponges fail to apply products with thin consistencies.
Where is the ColourPop Full Beat Blending Kit sold?
The ColourPop Full Beat Blending Kit is exclusive to the brand website. Also, each sponge is available for individual purchase.
Final Thoughts on the ColourPop Full Beat Blending Sponge Kit
Overall, I enjoyed the ColourPop Full Beat Blending Sponge Kit. Each sponge is soft, flexible, and easy to use when applying complexion products.
- Detail Blending Sponge: Without a doubt, the Detail Blending Sponge is the best sponge within the kit for applying base products. Concealer and foundation blended like a dream.
- Complexion & Hourglass Blending Sponges: The performance of the Complexion and Hourglass Blending Sponges is on par with other known beauty sponges from Beauty Blender, realTechniques, or ecoTools.
- Silicone Blending Sponge: The Silicone Blending Sponge worked well at applying a full coverage foundation with thick consistencies. Also, the silicone core helped to maximize coverage with minimal wasted product.
- Velvet Blending Sponge: I appreciate that the Velvet Sponge soaks up less product. However, this sponge is gimmicky. Also, this sponge fails to apply liquid products effectively. When using this sponge, my complexion products always looked heavy. Moreover, the product sat on my skin. It ‘looked like makeup.’
Except for the Velvet Blending Sponge, the ColourPop Blending Sponges performed well. In fact these performed on par with the more expensive blending sponges. Overall, these sponges are a great affordable option!

April 30, 2020 at 11:47 amWhen I saw you’d reviewed this kit, I was really intrigued to find out how you got on with it. Overall, it definitely sounds like a hit! I think the Detail one would be my fave because I love the tip for getting under the eyes, but all of them look great. I hear ya about the Velvet one. That definitely sounds gimmicky and I can’t imagine it being very good at blending?
The Newbury Girl says
April 30, 2020 at 2:01 pmMy foundation looked quite heavy with the velvet sponge, BUT someone just shared a tip to use the velvet sponge for setting powder since the velvet will add a blurring effect!
Lynh says
April 30, 2020 at 1:21 pmColourpop has so many colorful and affordable sponges. I am most curious in the silicone core one since I hate wasting foundation and having to deep clean dirty blender. But here is a tip for you, use the velvet sponge to set a thin layer of setting powder instead of liquid or cream foundations. The velvety hair is supposed to blur out your powder, giving you a light and poreless look.
The Newbury Girl says
April 30, 2020 at 2:00 pmOhhhhh that is an amazing tip! Do you wet it when you use it just for powder!?
Lynh says
April 30, 2020 at 2:12 pmI think it’s best to use the sponge dry.

It’s pretty much like this RT miracle sponge, you can use it to bake or apply setting powder. They say you can use it wet but I’m not a fan of that. To me, mixing water and powder is a recipe for clay-making lol.
Mimi says
April 30, 2020 at 1:47 pmThe look so cute, i always use RT so I’d love to space out a bit. I’m actually very interested in the Velvet one and the Detail one sounds amazing
The Newbury Girl says
April 30, 2020 at 1:59 pmThe velvet one was the only sponge in the kit that I disliked lol – my foundation looked heavy when I used it. However, I’m happy to finally try a velvet sponge since it was a trend for a while lol! But I really enjoy the Detail one for sure – particularly for concealer!!! 💜
Mimi says
April 30, 2020 at 3:13 pmYeah I’ve read that but I use very light foundation anyway but idk I’m just curious I guess ahah
The Newbury Girl says
April 30, 2020 at 2:02 pmActually another friend just shared a tip to use the velvet sponge to apply powder for a blurred effect, so I am going to give that a try!
Mimi says
April 30, 2020 at 3:12 pmThat sounds brilliant. I always bake my under eye so maybe it will work for that 😍
The Newbury Girl says
May 1, 2020 at 12:35 amThis sponge just finished drying after I deep cleaned all my brushes and sponges, so I’ll try using the sponge for powder and then let you know how it goes lmao
Mimi says
May 1, 2020 at 8:16 amMannnn don’t remind me I have to clean my brushes 😂😂 I swear I put it on my agenda every week and I just ignore it
The Newbury Girl says
May 1, 2020 at 3:45 pmlol normally I wait until my box of dirty brushes gets too big, but because I’ve been using cream products way more I find myself cleaning my brushes more frequently now. (I prefer a stiff or dense brush when blending cream products. However, I have less brushes like that compare to all the fluffy powder ones I own!
PoojaG says
April 30, 2020 at 2:35 pmOoh I’m going to have to try these out!!
The Newbury Girl says
May 30, 2020 at 10:26 pmThey’re such great affordable options!
Nancy says
May 2, 2020 at 2:59 amOooh! I didn’t know that there are different types of sponges. Pretty cool that they work for different things. The pricing is not bad at all. It is great that the sponges work overall except one didn’t work all that great. 4 out of 5 is still really good. Thanks for sharing! I haven’t used sponges in ages – found brushes to be easier to work with :).
Nancy ♥ exquisitely.me
The Newbury Girl says
May 5, 2020 at 6:28 pmSponges are definitely my preferred method of applying foundation, so I was thrilled that so many of these worked out quite well! Brushes definitely work better for applying certain formulas, though!

May 2, 2020 at 1:23 pmI was so curious to hear your thoughts on this set! Overall, it sounds like a good set which I would love to try myself. Can’t wait for CP to open again lol!
The Newbury Girl says
May 5, 2020 at 6:30 pmI really was impressed by these sponges, as well as by the CP brushes I’ve been using. Really good quality at the price point!
Geraldine says
May 3, 2020 at 10:58 amI don’t realize they had blending sponges too but I guess it makes sense for a big beauty brand to have it 😂🙈 first off I love all the colors. I find it helpful to read about the different kinds they’re are. .I didn’t even know there were this many!!
The Newbury Girl says
May 5, 2020 at 6:34 pmI actually didn’t realize they had so many variations until recently, but I was super impressed by the way these performed!
