The Beauty Blender (here) was designed by a makeup artist to give you a flawless foundation application. This adorable blender is made with non-latex material so its suitable for even the most sensitive skin types. Available in pink, black, and white. Washable and reusable!
How I use the Beauty Blender
I start by dabbing my foundation all over my face. Next with a dampened beauty blender I use a bouncing motion (using the big side of the sponge) to blend the product into my skin. Using the smaller side you can blend into harder to reach places such as- under eyes, and around the nose. I also like to use a rolling motion near my hair line and neck for a seamless finish.
I only use my beauty blender with full-medium coverage foundations. It makes Make Up For Ever's Mat Velvet Plus look incredibly flawless and natural on my skin. I think the dampened sponge thins out the foundation just enough for that airbrushed finished effect. I find with my light-sheer foundations it doesn't give me enough coverage, so I end up having to apply more product then I would if I use a makeup brush.

I ended up ordering the Beauty Blender Cleanser to clean the sponge, and it cleans it well... but you have to use a lot of cleanser. I wont be re-purchasing the cleanser because I found my (way less expensive) Cetaphil cleanser, cleans the blender just as well.
Overall, I love this blender! I've been considering purchasing one of these babies for months! It gives me a beautiful airbrushed foundation application. I'm very happy with this purchase, and I recommend this blender for a seamless finish!
I love my beautyblender! Whenever I stop using it then start again I wonder why the heck I ever stopped. I also like to use mine to apply powder after foundation. The dampness helps get rid of any cakey spots.
ReplyDeleteI have not tried this with powder foundation but now I'm very curious, thanks for sharing :) I've been using the extra blender for cream blush and it works fantastic too :) x
DeleteI'm waiting to buy the beauty blender! I'm starting to think the price isn't even that much of a deal anymore because of how well this works! Very nice review, the dry/damp photo made me laugh cause I didn't realize at first why they were two different sizes. :)

I believe on Amazon.com they have them for a bit cheaper! I'm thinking about getting my mom one and saw them there as well! hahah no its grows large! xx
DeleteI got a knock off and I love it, so I'm definitely going to invest in a beauty blender when it's time to replace the one I have at the moment. I love how flawless it makes my makeup look!
ReplyDeleteWhich knock off do you have??? I got an ulta brand one and it didn't work well for me at all, but I'd love some for gifts to the girls in my family that are similar! xx
DeleteI have heard so much about Beauty Blenders, I really want to try one!

Definitely something worth trying :) x
DeleteI have never tried a beauty blender, but this review makes me want to for sure!! I love how big it grows.. it's so clever! I would love more flawless makeup, so this sounds ideal! xx
ReplyDeleteYes it grows so big, and feels fantastic on my skin :) x
DeleteThe salesgirl made me a little afraid to try other cleansers after using my BeautyBlender -- thanks for the headsup! Off to find me some Cetaphil...
ReplyDeleteReally? eek well I guess I figured if Cetaphil takes dirt, oil and makeup off my skin that it would do the same for the Beauty Blender..so far so good :)
DeleteI would love to try this out!! I've been seeing it everywhere!! Great post!
