The Beauty Blender is a novel way of applying makeup. On first glance, you think it's just a gimmicky pink sponge. Read on to find out why it's not.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Beauty Blender
  • Concealers, Foundation, and/or blush
  • Water
  • Towel
  1. Step 1

    The inclosed directions that come with the Beauty Blender tells you to dampen your sponge, then towel dry to remove the excess. I find that this wet method works well for creams and concealers, but I prefer to apply using a dry Beauty Blender.

    The egg is an ergonomically designed shape, used to fit easily into the palm of your hand.

  2. Step 2
    Precise applications - use pointed end

    Apply concealers, color correctors, or any other form of makeup by using the "top" of the egg. Notice how the makeup sits on the top of the sponge, and doesn't soak in. This prevents you from wasting a lot of makeup that will never make it to your face!

  3. Step 3

    Transfer from the tip of the egg to your face by tapping, or "bouncing" the Blender into those hard to reach areas (around the nose, under the eyes, or in spot areas).

  4. Step 4

    To cover larger areas, dip the bottom of the sponge into your makeup or powder (the egg works well for any type of makeup), then continue to bounce (aka "stipple") the bottom of the egg all over your face. Don't use the side of the sponge. It took me awhile to discover that! This stippling will give you a flawless application every time, with no mess.

  5. Step 5
    Beauty Blenders double in size when wet.  The egg on the left is wet, the one on the right is dry.

    Rinse the sponge under running water (watch it double in size), remove the excess, and repeat applying blush or even eye shadow.

    After each use, be sure to wash your Beauty Blender, then let it sit on it's included pedestal to dry. Beauty Blender makes their own cleanser, or you can use any mild liquid soap - I prefer Dr. Bronner's Pure Castile Soap.

Tips & Warnings
  • The pointed end of the Beauty Blender is used for more precise, controlled applications. The bigger end will cover larger areas, such as foundations, blushes, etc.
  • Each Beauty Blender should last 4-6 months with proper care, though many have had theirs last longer.
  • The Beauty Blender is eco-friendly. When it's time to replace, send your old one back for recycling!
