The mega-popular sponge is beautiful, comfortable and functional. His abilities are not limited to applying tonal means. Let’s talk about its use in skin care.
What is a beauty blender
The beauty blender is an egg-shaped sponge (originally pink) invented by Hollywood makeup artist Rea Ann Silva in 2003. It was intended for applying foundation and was made of a special plastic, velvety to the touch synthetic material. With this applicator, you can, without having professional skills, perfectly apply the tone and blend it so that the texture literally merges with the skin.
The main thing is to follow three rules:
sponge should be wet (wet – wring out);
make sure that the movements during application are not smearing, but driving;
The sponge should be washed regularly, ideally after each use, regular shampoo is suitable for this.
A beauty blender is a sponge applicator made of a special material.
A beauty blender is used to apply any foundation, from powder to concealer. Makeup artists say that this applicator is able to replace almost all existing makeup brushes.
The beauty blender will also help in skin care.
5 creative ways to use a beauty blender
1. Use it to apply day cream, serum or sunscreen.
You can eliminate the contact of your fingers with the texture by dipping the tip of the blender into the jar or squeezing the product from the tube (pouring out of the bottle, dropping with a pipette) directly onto the wet sponge.
You do not have to once again touch your face with your fingers – this is good if the skin is prone to rashes.
In addition, the beauty blender works more delicately due to its softness.
2. It is suitable for applying eye cream.
The pointed teardrop shape and soft material are ideal for thin eyelids. Using this applicator, it is easy to apply the cream in a targeted manner, avoiding even minimal friction and tension. If you need a lymphatic drainage effect, it can be achieved by applying the product from the inner corner of the eye to the outer.
