The test and the opinion of Elodie Bousquet, Editorial Head Beauty / Health / Fitness
"On paper, she has everything to please. A big fan of the Beauty Blender egg-shaped sponge, I was curious to test the Silisponge for its hygienic side. On that side, I was not disappointed. It's true, just a little water and soap to make it look like new. It's simple, practical, reassuring.
Problem: I did not really manage to use it. I followed the instructions well. On me, the result is definitely too much coverage, even smoothing length. I imagine that humidifying my classic Beauty Blender participates in the effect "transparent foundation" that I appreciate so much and so I have not found with the Silidrop. Too bad, it will undoubtedly seduce those who like a more sophisticated result. "
The test and the opinion of Aurélie Sogny, journalist Beauty / Health / Fitness
"For some time, I had neglected the foundation because I had trouble applying it with a brush and I found that the Beauty Blender was not super hygienic. Why not try the silicone sponge? I had noticed that it was a hit on social networks and I really wanted to test it. From the first use I was conquered. Its smooth, smooth texture glides on the skin, providing a pleasant feeling for my sensitive skin and prone to redness .
It allows to obtain a complexion zero defect and not too covering if one avoids having the hand too "heavy" on the foundation, and especially, it is very easy to clean. Multi-function, I also use it to fade my concealer by gently tapping the sponge under my eyes. A playful and practical accessory, which is now part of my essential beauty. "
The test and the opinion of Orianne Vialo, journalist Beauty / Health / Fitness
"Silidrop seems to me more hygienic than beauty blender or make-up brushes. You only have to clean it with warm water, with a little soap so that it regains its original appearance, unlike other makeup accessories, which can remain stained. I also noticed that there was less loss of material (a pump instead of two when I use a makeup brush), compared to the times I use my beauty blender. However, I am not convinced by the rendering, which is not as natural as I thought. I find that the application is not so easy, even trying to apply my foundation directly on my skin, or on the Silidrop. The result is too much for me. "
