Applying foundation with a brush or fingers can cause the foundation to spread evenly. The Beauty Blender sponge was created by makeup artist Rea Ann Silva to ensure foundation adheres evenly and naturally. Use this light pink sponge to apply sunscreen, foundation, cream blush or tinted moisturizer for an even finish. For best results, use two sponges-one wet and one dry-when applying makeup.
Step
Part 1 of 4: Setting up the Beauty Blender
Step 1. Pour clean water into a bowl
You can also use tap water.
Step 2. Put the new Beauty Blender in the water and spin it
Make sure it is completely submerged.
Step 3. Squeeze the sponge to remove any remaining water
The sponge should be slightly damp and not soaking wet. Wetting the Beauty Blender makes the foundation not absorb inward, only sticks to the outside.
If you use a regular makeup sponge, more makeup product is wasted
Step 4. Apply makeup with a Beauty Blender with a reference to the reflection of the face in the mirror
Step 5. Use a second sponge to correct mistakes when applying makeup
Keep this second sponge dry and place it on its side.
Part 2 of 4: Applying Creamy Makeup
Step 1. Dispense a small amount of moisturizer, foundation or cream on the back of a hand that is rarely used or on a clean small plate
Step 2. Hold the Beauty Blender with your dominant hand
Squirt the top and sides of the sponge onto this cream-shaped makeup product.
Step 3. Start applying makeup to your nose and towards your cheeks, forehead, and the rest of your face
Step 4. Apply the makeup product to the face in a patting motion
This means you're patting the sponge against your skin so it doesn't leave a line of product on your face.
Step 5. Smear the sponge into the foundation again when you see no more product coming out of it onto the skin
Step 6. Repeat until you have covered the entire face area
Use the pointed end to reach all the way to your lash line and other creases on your face.
Part 3 of 4: Removing Errors
Step 1. Hold the dry Beauty Blender in your dominant hand
Look for areas where too much foundation builds up or forms a line.
Step 2. Drag this sponge over the area you want to clean of excess or uneven product
Make sure you pull on the sponge instead of patting it against your skin. The dry sponge will absorb the excess make-up product, to wipe away any mistakes.
Part 4 of 4: Cleaning the Beauty Blender
Step 1. Wash the Beauty Blender immediately after using it
These sponges are designed to be used repeatedly, but the main sponge must be wetted daily.
Step 2. Squirt a few drops of Beauty Blender cleanser or mild soap onto the sponge where most makeup products are
Step 3. Rub the soap into this area until it is well absorbed
Step 4. Rinse the Beauty Blender with warm water
Rub your fingers over the makeup-filled area of the sponge to remove any remaining soap and makeup products from the sponge.
Step 5. Repeat the same with the dry sponge
Repeat until the water that comes out of the sponge is clear.
Step 6. Squeeze excess water out of Beauty Blenders
Let the sponge dry naturally in a well-ventilated area. The sponge should be dry the next time you use it.
