As a person who has used a sponge for 6 years. I just switched over to a stippling brush and baby I could not go back to the sponge . I have truly been missing out ! The coverage you get with the brush is way better then a sponge. For those that are getting streaks the main reason is that your rubbing or stroking and not dabbing/ tapping your face with the brush . Also you could be using the wrong kind of brush or it’s of cheaper quality.
