Beauty Blender
A revolutionary beauty product that has changed the way we apply makeup forever! Since its launch in 2011, Beauty Blender has become a cult favorite among celebrities and makeup artists.
The beauty blender is a makeup sponge that's used to apply foundation and other beauty products. It makes the application more even and also helps you get a more natural look. Beauty blenders or sponges come in a lot of shapes and sizes and are used for a number of different things. A beauty blender will cost you about $20-25 but it’s worth it because it lasts really long. The purpose of this article is to give you tips on how to use beauty blenders and how to clean them.
How to use a beauty blender
Beauty Blender is to apply skincare did you know that you can use a damp Beauty Blender to apply face serums face creams eye creams anything like that and the cooling effect of the damp Beauty Blender on the skin can actually also help reduce swelling and puffiness that you might have around your eyes when you wake up in the morning.
Prep the skin with primer
Number two is to prime your skin before applying your makeup with a Beauty Blender same way that you apply skincare. just use the damp sponge to blend the product all over your face. it will give you a much smoother finish and cleaner canvas to pop your foundation over the top.
Foundation
Number three is of course foundation we are all familiar with using this amazing sponge to apply our foundation. because it gives the skin a really airbrushed and smooth finish and you get no foundation lines it also means that you can use full coverage foundations in a more natural way for a daytime makeup look.
Number four is concealer
I find this to be the best method of applying and blending out concealer underneath the eyes. I would say definitely that when you use a beauty blender to blend out concealer underneath your eyes. that you nearly a hundred percent reduce the chances of the makeup creasing and so filling into the fine lines. it's also great for blending concealer in other areas of the face.
Number five is using your Beauty Blender
Apply powder to set the face. it completely changes the look of your skin. so take the damp Beauty Blender directly into the powder whether it's a pressed or a loose it doesn't matter and then go directly into the skin using dabbing motions to apply the product. you can use it to bank but you can also use it to set your entire face and I promise you it will nearly eradicate all pores and fine lines.
Should beauty blender be wet or dry?
I know what you're thinking the sink is so far away and you just sat down to do your makeup do you really even have to wet it. but yes you do have to make it to the faucet and you do need to spend more than two seconds getting it wet. giving it a quick pulse isn't going to be enough this is the size of a dry Beauty Blender and this is the size of a wet one for the proper application. we want to make sure that your Beauty Blender actually doubles in size.
when it's wet you should be squeezing it. under running water so that the water actually gets absorbed into your Beauty Blender and plan to be there for about 10 seconds. so that it can get properly saturated with water and yes that's why it doubles in size washing it.
How to clean beauty blender
We can clean the beauty blender in two ways. I'll tell you another way at the last of the section. Lots of people confusing about how to clean the beauty blender and is it necessary? Yes, it is important to clean the sponge. Because it observes your makeup product like foundation, powder etc. When you have been using this beauty blender for long-term without cleansing that stores bacteria on it. It makes acne or pimples When you use it again on your skin.
- The first step is warm up the water. Don't boil your beauty blender.
- Just put the beauty blender on hot water.
- Soak it for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Then squeeze it and wipe off the water with a cloth.
- you don't have to squeeze it a thousand times to get it out and I have confirmed that all three of those can do it.
- Let it dry. Now it's ready for use.
How often should the beauty blender be cleaned?
Keep it clean the beauty blender at least once or twice a week. If you use it for a few days a month you can clean it once a week. But I recommend cleaning the beauty blender once every two days. If you are using a low-budget beauty blender, you should change the makeup sponge every month. Because these products can easily be damaged.
common mistakes that people and I are sorry to be the bearer of bad news but makeup art makeup sponges should actually be replaced every three months. yikes I know but the Beauty Blender is a breeding ground for bacteria and while you should be cleaning them often they have an expiration date and the longer you keep them the more yucky bacteria actually stay in them so swap that old one for a fresh one at least a few times a year.
you should actually wash your Beauty Blender after every use but since you and I both know that that's not really reasonable you should aim to wash it every week and there are a few tried-and-true suggestions like using a beauty blender sponge cleaner for cleaning Makeup sponges, brushes & applicators.
Final words
Use a beauty blender regularly, and clean it after each use with some warm water. use it properly and replace it often.
