Quick Tip: Wet Your Cosmetic Sponge

This was one of those tips that I thought people just said for the sake of saying. I never really understood the idea behind it. How did getting a cosmetic sponge wet help get better looking foundation??
It wasn't until I heard someone quickly explain it that I finally understood what everyone who used this was getting at!

Getting your cosmetic sponge damp will cause the sponge to soak up less foundation, which will result in more makeup for you, and will give the applicator a more even surface for the makeup to sit on.

Even here you can see that the foundation on the top (which was applied with a damp sponge) is much more even and opaque then the foundation applied with a dry sponge.
