Just when you think you've tried every makeup applicator possible on the shelves or at home - iPhone contouring anyone? - a makeup giant comes along and shows us a new one! Bye Bye savings ...

Smashbox took to Insta earlier this week to introduce us to their new 'Photo Filter Gel Cushion Applicator'.The applicator is a soft and flexible gel cushion embossed with a pattern which replicates a human fingerprint! 

These 2 make such a great couple! Introducing the Photo Filter #GelCushion Applicator, with fingertip-like grooves that grab and blend #StudioSkin Foundation. It has a flexible texture and a diamond shape that reaches every angle of your face. Available now on smashbox.com!

Not only is this a great tool for those who love to try out whats new on the market, but its also a great investment for those who prefer to skip using an applicator altogether - it'll give a natural finish to makeup without the user having to get it all over their hands. Smashbox also say that the applicator is easy to clean and won't waste any products, due to the non-absorbent nature of the cushion!

According to Smashbox, it has 'fingertip-like grooves that grab and blend foundation and a flexible texture and a diamond shape that reaches every angle of your face.' Sounds interesting! The Gel Cushion applicator works wonders with many liquid products; think primers, foundations, cheek tints and contour products! 

And, theres more good news! The Photo Filter Gel Cushion Applicator is available now and costs $20. It can be bought directly through the Smashbox website!
