FAQ: About the Beautyblender® City Collection

What is the Beautyblender® City Collection?

The Beautyblender® City Collection is a limited-edition series of makeup sponges inspired by global cities like Miami, Singapore, Bangkok, and New York. Each sponge is designed to reflect the essence of its namesake city through unique colors, vibes, and functionality, without compromising Beautyblender’s signature bounce and performance. These sponges blend makeup seamlessly while celebrating the beauty culture of each location.

Are the City Collection sponges different from the original Beautyblender?

Yes and no. The core performance remains the same - each sponge is made with our exclusive aqua-activated™ foam, delivering a skin-like finish with minimal product waste. What makes the City Collection unique is the limited-edition colorways and city-inspired themes. While the technology is the same, the personality is all about location-based inspiration and collector-worthy aesthetics.

Is the City Collection latex-free?

Yes. Every sponge in the City Collection is made from latex-free materials, just like the original Beautyblender. This ensures the product is safe for people with latex allergies or sensitive skin. The foam is dermatologically tested and designed for everyday use with zero irritation.

Are these makeup sponges cruelty-free?

Absolutely. Beautyblender® is proudly a cruelty-free brand. None of our sponges, including the City Collection, are tested on animals at any stage of production. We are also 100% vegan, so you can blend confidently knowing your sponge is ethically made.

Can I use the City Collection sponges with powders and creams?

Yes, the City Collection sponges are incredibly versatile. You can use them with cream foundations, liquid concealers, BB and CC creams, powder highlighters, setting powders, and even skincare products like primers or serums. The sponge adapts to any texture and ensures a smooth, even finish without streaks or patchiness.

How often should I replace my City Collection sponge?

We recommend replacing your makeup sponge every 3 months with regular use. Over time, buildup from makeup and skincare can affect the sponge’s texture and hygiene. If you notice the sponge isn’t bouncing back, is stained even after cleaning, or develops an odor, it’s time to swap in a fresh one.

How do I clean my Beautyblender® sponge?

To clean your sponge, wet it thoroughly and use Blendercleanser (solid or liquid). Work it into a lather, gently squeeze out makeup residue, and rinse until the water runs clear. Always let your sponge air dry in a well-ventilated area, ideally using the canister as a drying pedestal. Daily cleaning extends the life and performance of your sponge.

Can I use the sponge dry?

Technically, yes, but we don’t recommend it. Beautyblender® is designed to be used damp. When you wet the sponge, the foam expands and creates the perfect texture for blending. Using it dry can result in a heavier, less blended finish, and it may absorb more product than necessary.

Are these sponges suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, Beautyblender® sponges, including the City Collection, are dermatologist-tested and formulated to be safe for all skin types. They’re latex-free, dye-safe, and ultra-soft to minimize irritation, making them a go-to tool for even the most sensitive skin.

Are the colors safe for skin contact?

Yes. All dyes used in Beautyblender® products, including the bold city-inspired colors, are non-toxic and water-soluble. This means they won’t transfer to your skin or interfere with your makeup application. The color may fade slightly over time with repeated washing, but performance remains unchanged.

Can I collect all the city editions together?

Yes, and many beauty fans do! While each City sponge is sold separately, they're designed to complement one another aesthetically and functionally. From Miami’s glow to Seattle’s cool minimalism, collecting them all gives you a diverse set of tools tailored for every look, season, or mood.
