Cosmetic Wedges

Hi girls!
I currently use cosmetic wedges I buy at Walgreen's , they are cheap, and I get a buch of them. Does it really make a difference if I get more expensive ones? Does anybody know?

Re: Cosmetic Wedges

Thanks for replying Laura. I use them when I'm in a hurry to put my foundation. Most the time I use my fingers or brush anyway.

You're right. Product goes very fast that way. I use them a little wet, that helps and the foundation becomes less heavy. (I dont like to wear heavy makeup)

Re: Cosmetic Wedges

I've never tried any high-end wedges. I didn't even realize they made them. I don't particularly like the wedges or sponges at Walgreen's because of the Vitamin E. It seems like the foundation slides right off the applicator instead of absorbing, though I've heard a few comment that they prefer this so as not to waste too much product.

Re: Cosmetic Wedges

I've only tried drugstore cosmetic wedges but don't like them because they seem to soak up too much foundation, and make my application of foundation more uneven(I don't have the steadiest hand!)Maybe more expensive wedges would work better--e.g.--absorb less foundation/product--but I prefer my fingers or a brush anyway, I think it makes for simpler,neater application, so wouldn't pay extra money for a supposedly higher quality wedge.

Re: Cosmetic Wedges

I use wedges from cinema secrets, they are really dense & thick...great for foundation, fixing mistakes, etc. MAC also makes wedges, plus some asstd round wedges that I like to use from time to time.

Re: Cosmetic Wedges

I use the ones from Walmart. They come like 16 in a pack I think. Any beauty supply place would also have them. Target sells them as well. I don't think high end would make a differene. If the higher ends one are thicker then they might though. I think some girls uses brushes because its the thing to do but sponges work great!!!

Re: Cosmetic Wedges

Lindabear- some people are allergic to latex. Usually they will have a latex and a non-latex version. If you are allergic you will know.

Re: Cosmetic Wedges

There is definitely a difference I had a MUTer custom purchase me some wedges that are very dense I can wash them in between uses and they don't fall apart. They don't soak up as much product as regular drugstore ones. She is a MA so I'm not sure what kind they are.
