Real Techniques
The orange drugstore sponge long pitted against the Beautyblender, and Byrdie's 2026 pick for blending cream products.

CurrentBody
A flexible silicone red and near-infrared LED mask with simple 10-minute sessions; the Series 3 has since taken the flagship slot.

Beautyblender
The original pink, edgeless blending sponge, still a benchmark for a seamless damp-sponge finish, though cheaper rivals now come close.

Omnilux
A flexible, FDA-cleared red and near-infrared LED mask from a professional LED maker; one button, one 10-minute program.

NuFACE
NuFACE's flagship FDA-cleared microcurrent device: visible same-day lift that lasts only with near-daily, five-minute sessions.

Solawave
A pocket-size red light, warmth, galvanic and vibration wand that feels pleasant to use; reviewers find the results subtle.
