It's not easy to find natural sponges for make-up. I even tried 'The Body Shop.' The Sales Assistants turned their horrified gaze upon me. 'Natural sponge? Of course we don't stock them, they're endangered! But we do have some man-made sponges that might work...' As much as I want to save the sponges, man-made versions are inferior. They don't distribute the make-up in the same way. It is worth buying small pieces of natural sponge. The denser the holes in the sponge, the thicker the coverage will be. Smaller holes seem to create a lighter, more natural texture.
The best and cheapest way to order sponges is off art websites. They are often used for watercolour paintings and are a good size for make-up.
