How To: Use a Beauty Blender

Beauty Blender
  So many people including myself are intrigued by the Beauty Blender. Is it because it looks like a hot pink egg but it's for your face? It's just a sponge right? Wrong, it's the most amazing sponge you've ever seen! Believe me I was skeptical before trying it too, but now I don't ever apply foundation without it.





Why it's so incredible:

1. It makes foundation look flawless, almost as if you aren't wearing anything. "Seeing make up is the first sign of an amateur application." --Beautblender.net

2. It makes hard to reach areas such as under the eyes, around the nose, and corners of the mouth easy to get to with the small pointy end of the sponge.

3. You can use it for any type of face makeup like foundation, concealer, blush, bronzer, and powder.


How to use a Beauty Blender:

1. Start by wetting your Beauty Blender (BB) in your sink and  At this point your BB will be two times it's original size. If you don't wet it won't work the same.

2. Squeeze all the excess water out of your BB so it isn't dripping wet.

3. Apply your foundation directly to the big end of the BB.

4. Start applying the foundation by using a "bouncing" technique almost as if you are bouncing a ball off of your face. Do this over your entire face until completely covered. This makes for a natural effect with no bumps or streaks that you may see with other applicators.

5. Use the small pointed end to apply under eye concealer as well as blemish concealer. Use the same bouncing technique for these areas as well. Don't drag the BB along your face.
6. You can also apply blush, bronzer, and powder using the BB and the same technique.
7. After you are finished using your BB for the day rinse it under the sink again and set it out to dry until your next application. It will shrink back down to it's original size.

There are many dupes for the BB but none are even comparable. You can purchase the BB online at Amazon or at your local Sephora.
