" Ayaw ko ng plastic...for the skin" said the make-up master as he began priming the model's face with clean water using this beauty blender-sized Spongebob. Don't we all agree with that line on another level? Ayaw natin ng plastic. Apparently natural sea sponges are Fanny's true way to go when it comes to using clean water as a mixing and buffing medium with his makeup products. His claims his makeup withstands the utmost heat and humidity (sometimes longer than airbrush makeup) when he literally waterproofs the face with his specifically applied layers. I'm sorry to say though in respect for now I am withholding specific source details on how I purchased these (he has a special source somewhere in the country) to protect Fanny's peace, resources, and privacy.
They wash well and as long as most water is squeezed off they air-dry beautifully. To return them to their most natural, soft state before use and also to naturally disinfect I might try steeping them in cold water with a dash of sea salt, this is not yet tried and tested but I plan to experiment.
Since I was invited to learn from him he warmly said I could purchase them directly from him and no, they weren't expensive. He uses this as a tool to bring out the best in his wet application of his FS Cake Foundation powder (the rectangle compact). I love the look of these sea sponges because they're such a lovely naturally dim yellow shade and none of them have the same shape. Fanny specifically sources them in these beauty blender sizes. They remind me of that scene where the birds help Cinderella bathe in the original Disney animated feature, you can watch that scene here at 2:25. When I was a child I was always fascinated by the sponge in that scene, how one large sponge managed to give Cinderella a full bath LOL, and sometimes I recall rewinding that part. Apparently that dream was a wish my heart made.
