Everything You Need To Know About Beauty Blenders

Beauty Blenders are makeup sponges that are very different from the disposable ones. They are made from a special exclusive material that works best when damp. It gives a streak free application because there's no edge on the blender like on a regular sponge. The beauty blender also minimizes product waste because, when the sponge is wet, the molecules leave no room for it to absorb into the sponge. The blender is in an egg shape, so you can get into smaller areas as well as bigger. 

There are a couple different types of beauty blenders.  The original is for foundation, powder, cream blush/bronzer, and BB/CC creams. The pure sponge is for eye creams, face cleansers, primers, and serums. The pro sponge is used for long wearing makeup and self tanner. The last kind is the micro.mini for concealer, highlighter, and contouring. All of these sponges can be used with all types of products. It seems odd to have powder on a damp sponge but it applies it evenly and the water in the sponge helps the powder look natural against the skin. 

The best way I've found to use my beauty blender is to submerge it in water then squeeze all the water out (it will still be damp and expand). With liquid products I apply them to my face first then bounce/dab the sponge over my face to spread the product and blend it. With cream products I dab the sponge in the product and then use the sponge the same way as the brush (but being sure not to drag the sponge because that doesn't give a real skin look). For powders I place the sponge in the products and roll the bigger end over my face. All of my ways of application give a light coverage but can be built up. One other way I use my sponge is, once all my makeup is done, I dab and roll it over my face to make the powders look like real skin rather than a caky powdery look. 

You should clean your beauty blender after a week or so and replace it, at the latest, in 2 months. There are a few ways to clean it. First using some olive oil and baby shampoo to massage the product out of the sponge. The brand also sells cleansers that wok really well, like the liquid and the solid cleanser.

Hopefully my insight on the beauty blender helped! I recommend it to everyone!
