Beauty Blender

The Beauty Blender is a makeup favourite of YouTube beauty stars. The Beauty Blender and other similar makeup sponges are favorited for a reason: they’re a great way to apply a multitude of products. You can use it as a primer applicator for an even, solid base. You can even use it for applying sunscreen or topical creams. Of course, most commonly, beauty-lovers use it to apply foundation and blend blush, bronzer, and highlighter.

To use with liquid foundation, run the sponge under the sink with cool or warm water and then press the sponge to remove extra water. Water helps keep the sponge from absorbing any of the makeup. Now, gently dab the sponge into the makeup product you’re using and apply some to the wrist or back of your hand for a coverage test. Then, apply product to your face using soft dabbing motions. Less is more when using a Beauty Blender.

For smaller areas, use the tip of the Beauty Blender for detail work like applying highlighter to your cupid’s bow or shimmer to brow bones.

If you’re using dry powder, simply pour some of the product onto the lid and dab the sponge directly in the product. Use the same process as you would for liquid foundation. Be aware you might have to re-moisturize the sponge as it can dry out during the application process.

Already done with your makeup but it looks a little patchy? Here’s a useful trick: use the Beauty Blender’s side and roll it across your entire face to blend in all areas of your face.
