Ebelin Professional Make Up Egg & Concealer Egg

Postoje tri tipa devojaka: one koje puder nanose prstima, sunđerima i četikicama. Ja spadam u ovu treću grupu, a ako se žurim ponekad izletim i u grupu koja koristi dobre stare prste. Naravno to malo zavisi i od same formule pudera, i koliko jako prekrivanje želim da dobijem. Ipak nisam mogla da odolim da ne probam sunđere, i to naravno u obliku sada već veoma popularnog jajeta. Odlučila sam se za Ebelin jaje koje se može naći u DM drogerijama. Kada sam ga kupila koštalo je 375 dinara (mada moguće je da je danas za nijansu skuplje).

There are three types of girls: those that apply foundation using their fingers, different kinds of sponges and brushes. I belong to the third group, and if I'm in a hurry I sometimes jump to the group that uses the good old fingers. Of course it depends a little form the foundation formula, and the coverage I want to achieve. Yet I could not resist trying out some sponges, and of course I bought the one in a form of a now very popular egg. I decided to buy Ebelin egg that can be found in DM drugstores. When I bought it, it costed 375 RSD (although it is possible that today it is a bit more expensive).

Sunđer je roze boje i srednje je tvrd. Kada se pokvasi blago se uveća i omekša. Mokar sunđer upiće manje pudera u sebe, pa ćete na taj način štedeti sam proizvod. Naravno pre nanošenja sunđer se dobro iscedi od vode, a zatim se puder raspoređuje po koži tapkanjem. Za to je koristim donji širi deo sunđera. Dobra stvar kod ovi sunđerčića je što se s njima nanosi vrlo tanak i prozračan sloj pudera. Deluje tanje nego kada za nanošenje koristim četkicu, a svakako je tanji sloj nego kada se puder nanosi prstima. Takođe puder deluje veoma ujednačeno i izblendano.

Sponge is pink and medium hard. When dampened it slightly enlarges and becomes softer. Wet sponge will soak in less foundation, and you will thus save product. Of course, before applying your foundation sponge sound be squeezed to remove excess water, and then the foundation should be applied by tapping motion. For that I use the big lower part of the sponge. The good thing about these sponges is that they easily apply a very thin layer of foundation. It is thinner than when I use a brush to apply it, and it is certainly thinner than when I use my fingers for application. Also, foundation looks very even and blended.

S druge strane vrh sunđera koji je zašiljen može se koristiti za korektor ispod oka ili za bolje prilaženje delovima oko nosa, Ovaj sunđer je dobar i za blendanje proizvoda za konturiranje i generalno stapanje šminke koju na lice nanesete. Njim možete i setovati ten praškastim proizvodima. Krajnji rezultat je lagan, izblendan, prozračan i blago sjajan ten (koža mi uvek deluje nekako dewy posle korišćenja sunđera).

On the other hand the top of the sponge that is tapered can be used for concealer under the eye or to reach area around the nose more easily. This sponge is good for blending contouring products and generally blending makeup you apply. It can also be used for setting makeup using powdery products. The end result is a lightweight, blended, translucent and slightly shiny complexion (my skin always looks a bit dewy after using the sponge).

Od skoro Ebelin je u prodaju ubacio i pakovanje sa dva mini jajeta koji su namenjeni nanošenju korektora. Daleko su lakši i praktičniji za korišćenje u ovoj regiji nego vrh velikog jajeta. Cena pakovanja sa dva mini jajeta je 399 dinara.

Ebelin recently introduced packaging with two mini eggs that are intended for concealer application. They are far easier and more convenient to use in this region than the tip of the large egg. Price of this packaging with two mini egg is 399 RSD.

Pošto su ovi sunđerčići mali, za blendanje korektora ispod oka koristim zaobljeni donji deo sunđera, dok zašiljeni koristim samo oko unutrašnjeg dela oka. Ako korektor prvo nanesem i blago razmažem prstima sunđerčić će zaista lepo izblendati korektor do kraja. Ako pak jaje koristim za nanošenje korektora, dobija se ponovo tanji sloj i ako vam je korektor malo stariji ili vam ova regija nije dovoljno hidrirana, ne dobija se baš idealno prekrivanje i ujednačenost.

Since these sponges are small, for blending concealer under the eye I use the rounded bottom of the sponge, while tapered part I only use around the inner part of the eye. If I apply concealer first and then use sponge for blending, it will do that well. But if I use the sponge to apply concealer, I get thinner layer again, so if your concealer a little older or this region is not sufficiently hydrated, you won't get an ideal coverage and evening of the complexion.

Sunđeri bi trebalo da se operu nakon svakog korišćenja. Najčešće ih perem običnim tečnim sapunom, ali po nekad koristim i tečnost za čišćenje četkica za šminku. Prilično se lako očiste i na njima ne ostaju baš mnogo mrlje od pudera i korektora.

Sponges should be washed after each use. Most often I wash them using liquid soap, but sometimes I use the cleaning liquid for makeup brushes. They are pretty easy to clean and foundation and concealer stains wont stay on them that much.

Na slikama ispod možete da vidite razliku u veličini ovih sunđerčića kada su suvi i nakvašeni. Pokvasila sam plavi sunđer, dok je rozi suv.

In the pictures below you can see the difference in size of the sponge when dry and soaked with water. The blue sponge is wet, while the pink one is dry.

Ovi sunđeri su zaista jedan višenamenski proizvod za brzo i lako nanošenje pre svega tečnih proizvoda na lice, ali i blendanje svih ostalih proizvoda. Često ih koristim od kad sam ih kupila, mada moram priznati da su mi moje četkice i dalje najdraže za nanošeje pudera.

These sponges are truly a multi-purpose products for quick and easy application of liquid products on the face, but also for blending of all other products. I have used them often since I got them, although I must admit that I continue love to most my good old foundation brushes.
