About 10 years ago, I was on a feature (don't ask which one, they're all the same to me...) At any rate, the Key gave a quick demo on her actor, and she said "... It's like bouncing a ball on the face." Albeit gently.
Also saw Eve Pearl at an IMATS several years ago, and she demo'd the same technique with her version.
Regardless if it's the real deal (Blender) or a dupe, it all about technique... Bouncing that ball... Also known as STIPPLING.
Not so much for most members posting on this thread... But I know for new users transitioning from wedgies to a Blender there is a learning curve, as you don't get the same results from stippling with a wedgie as you do with a Blender. Also most people don't even stipple with a wedgie or the roundies (that come in compacts), they rub or wipe the sponge across their face, hence that rubbing / wiping habit is difficult to change when stippling with a Blender.
I also think that the egg-shape of the Blender was purposely designed so that it makes it awkward to use a rubbing or wiping action when using it.
