About

Beautyblender was invented by Rea Ann Silva, a Hollywood make up artist. She created this with the purpose of giving everyone the Hollywood look without having to pay for it, she knew that the key to flawless looking skin was a perfect blend. Beautyblender’s shape makes application foolproof by allowing you to access hard-to-reach areas with stunning ease. It was made without edges in order to not leave any lines or streaks and give you that dazzling Hollywood face.

How to Use

When you first receive the Beautyblender you may notice it’s small, this is because it has not yet been run through water in order to gain its size in which it should be used. You must first run it through water, squeezing all the water out of the sponge before using it to apply your make up. It may be used to apply dry and wet makeup.

Instead of using it spread your make up it like you would with a regular sponge, use the same spreading concept but instead you bounce it on your face. Bouncing it on your face will created a smooth blend complexion, to were if you just spread it with a regular sponge it would leave you with visible lines.

Pointed Side– Use this side for hard to spots such as your nose, mouth, and around the eyes

Round Base– Use this side to apply on areas such as your face, cheeks, and forehead.

How I Use It

Special Occasions If I have an event I will be attending that I know will be all day and I want make up to last all day, this is my go to applicator for foundation. I have found that sometimes when using brushes to apply my make up, it tends to cause my skin to flake because a stroking motion is being used.

Highlighting & Contouring– This is my best friend whenever I want to go all out and give my face nice definition. I tend to just use it to highlight my face in order to get a natural glow.

Using creams or liquids to highlight and contour your face with the Beautyblender will give you the best result.

Trick– Another way to keep your makeup looking flawless longer is using the Beautyblender to apply your finishing powder on your face.

How to Clean

Wash it Out– I have found that if you run it through warm water and just add dish soap or hand soap every time after you use it, it becomes less of a hassle to clean.

Microwave it– Because this is a sponge, like any other it will collect bacterial and makeup  after time. A quick trick that I have learned to affectively clean it is to place it in the microwave (not wet or after being used) for a few seconds and then run it through running water with soap. Then ta-da your Beautyblender will brand spankin new!

Where to Purchase

Beautyblender website, Sephora or Amazon.

I hope this helped anyone who is looking into getting a Beautyblender.

As always, thank you for reading.

Con Amor
