I was honestly pleasantly surprised by the Beakey Flat Duo Makeup Sponge (6 pack). I’ve tried the regular Beakey sponge set before and lowkey… they were hard as hell 😭 so I wasn’t expecting much from these. But these are completely different—like actually soft. Compared to the Beautyblender, which I’ve always felt is more on the dense side, these are way softer. If you already think Beautyblender is soft, you’ll definitely notice the difference with these. They’re also comparable to the Shop Miss A Paw Paw sponge, which I love—but not identical. Texture-wise, the Beakey sponge has visible pores similar to Beautyblender, just smaller. Not as seamless as Paw Paw (where you can barely see pores), but still pretty fine. The bounce is okay—nothing crazy. Paw Paw is definitely bouncier, but these are so soft that I was almost worried my nail might rip it while using it. One thing I really liked is that it gets even softer when wet, and it was super easy to clean with just a bar soap. For reference, the foam texture kind of reminds me of a Beauty Creations sponge, but softer. Maybe even a bit like the Real Techniques “memory foam” sponge texture—but not slow-rising. Price-wise, these are about a dollar cheaper than Paw Paw, and I even grabbed another pack when I saw an extra 30% off. As of now, I do really like them. Will they replace my Paw Paw sponge? Maybe… but I’ve only used it once so we’ll see 😂 Overall, I’d recommend trying it—just depends on your personal preference!
