What are these stains on my makeup sponge? I have no idea what they are. And unfortunately I only noticed them after I did my makeup. 😬

Without context, that looks like blood and mold…
That red looks like blood!! Was your face bleeding at all? I would assume not, so maybe its product.
The black could be smudging from other product getting on your hand, but to be VERY safe sanitize your makeup and get a new sponge.
Try cleaning the sponge first in warm water and mild soap and let it get a good air dry after squeezing it as dry as ya can….
Im a little messy so sometimes product that I get on my hands or in my makeup box can get on my sponges, I’ve even had some transfer from brushes.
But defo check your sponges before hand and try to practice good sponge hygiene.
