Before you begin to figure out how to clean your beauty blender, let's
let's talk about what it is, what makes this little thing unique and what is its difference from other objects of a similar purpose.
A beauty blender is designed for applying foundation, as well as makeup products of a suitable consistency. In essence, this is a sponge, which has two main tasks:
- applying makeup;
- makeup correction.
How to apply makeup?
All readers, of course, have done this repeatedly, but not everyone used the sponge, which professional makeup artists have been talking about so much lately. How to apply foundation? In a few ways:
- fingertips;
- using a special brush;
- using sponge;
- using a beauty blender.
Important! A smooth tone is the key to perfect makeup. To achieve this result, it is very important to choose the right foundation, taking into account the type of your skin. In this regard, owners of dry and oily skin are invited to read the following articles by our skin care specialists:
The first method is the most economical. As a rule, it is possible to apply the cream fairly evenly, but there is one drawback - then you must wash your hands later. The brush in this sense is much more practical, however, not everyone immediately gets an even layer, a certain practice is needed. This also applies to sponge - the cream is applied quickly, the hands do not get dirty, but the “coating” does not always work out perfect ..
The beauty blender appeared relatively recently. The foundation layer turns out to be almost flawless, and accordingly - the makeup looks the most natural.
Important! You can find sponges of various shapes on sale, but not all of them can be considered beauty blenders. This is a specific tool that Beautyblender, an American company, produces. Recently, many similar devices produced by other companies have appeared on the market, but most often they are fakes and do not have the qualities of their prototype.
Beauty Blender Benefits
Using a beauty blender, you can apply any cosmetic products that have a creamy consistency:
- the cream itself;
- shadows;
- blush.
The beauty blender, in addition to an even layer, has many more advantages:
- softness;
- universality;
- does not cause irritation;
- does not cause allergies;
- odorless;
- very easy to use;
- easily replaces a large set of brushes.
Important! Incorrectly selected foundation can not only significantly spoil the makeup, but also add an extra age or give even a young person a painful look. Therefore, the choice of foundation should be approached with all responsibility.Find out from our next article about how to choose the right foundation for skin color.
What is it made of?
Such a sponge is made of special synthetic materials that prevent the appearance of irritations. These fibers are neutral, do not contain substances that can cause allergies. Beauty blender is very pleasant to the touch - reminds suede. He does not scratch his skin.
An important point is the lack of their own smell, so this thing is suitable for those who love aromas, since there will definitely not be any mixing, and for those who cannot tolerate them. As for universality, this is promoted by the form - in the form of a drop.
In addition, using a beauty blender is extremely simple. To do this, you will not need to go to makeup courses. Having bought such a thing, you can safely throw away or remove all the brushes away. And if you have applied too many blush or shadows - just turn the sponge over with the clean side and remove the excess.
Why exactly a drop?
The drop-shaped form makes it possible to apply creamy and dry cosmetics to different parts of the face. With a pointed tip you can handle:
- corners of the eyes;
- the space under the eyebrows;
- wings of the nose;
- hollow on the chin.
With a wide edge, apply foundation on the cheeks, forehead and other large areas of the face and neck. The beauty blender easily absorbs creamy substances, and gives them in small doses, which allows you to apply a thin, but very even layer. In addition, this simple device allows you to smooth out peeling and mask the bumps that are on almost any human face.
Important! Beauty blender is especially useful for people with dry skin.
There is no perfection in the world
A beauty blender is an extremely convenient little thing, however, even in the sun there are spots, and there are still some disadvantages to this miracle of the beauty industry:
- price;
- limited period of use;
- the need for daily care;
- not very rational use of cosmetics.
Price
Before talking about cost, it should be remembered that a beauty blender is not any sponge of an interesting form, but the products of a particular company, which sets the price. On the official website of the manufacturer, such a small but very convenient little thing costs $ 20. In online stores or in beauty salons, it, of course, will cost a little more.
Shelf life and consumption of cosmetics
The term of use is six months, unless, of course, you apply makeup every day. If you do this less often, the beauty blender will last longer. After each use, the sponge must be cleaned, otherwise, the service life will be reduced, and applying cosmetics with a dirty device is uncomfortable and unhygienic.
Important! A beauty blender is not the most economical way to apply foundation or makeup. And if the amount of dry blush and eyeshadow increases very slightly, then creamy products will go much more, because part is absorbed.
How to use a beauty blender?
There is nothing complicated in this, but a certain order must be observed. It is very useful to always have paper napkins on hand:
- Dampen the beauty blender with water.
- Blot it with a napkin or wring it out (depending on how much cream you need to apply).
- Pick up the cream.
- Lightly distribute it over large surfaces with the wide part of the sponge.
- Use a narrow tip to work in hard to reach places.
Important! If you need to adjust your makeup with a small amount of cream, squeeze the sponge well.
How to save?
Good cosmetics are quite expensive, and it’s a shame to wash away branded foundation cream into the sewers from the sponge. But there is an opportunity to apply a beautiful layer on the face and, at the same time, save an expensive tonic:
- Using your fingers, apply a little cream to the protruding points - chin, middle of the forehead, tip of the nose, cheekbones.
- Spread the cream evenly over the entire face with the wide part of the beauty blender - you need to do this with light movements, by pressing, otherwise the cream will simply be absorbed.
- Blend the borders of the makeup with the clean side of the beauty blender.
Important! Combined skin type - quite finicky, as on the face are combined areas of dry and oily skin. Based on this, the choice of cosmetics should be approached with all responsibility, especially with regard to evening skin care.

Beauty Blender Care
After each use of the beauty blender, it must be cleaned. However, this should be done with other tools and devices that you use for applying makeup. Before you clean your beauty blender, take a walk to the beauty shop. There you may find special tools:
- gel for cleaning sponges;
- solid soap.
The advantages of special tools are obvious:
- profitability;
- pleasant aroma;
- a composition that includes natural ingredients.
Professional make-up artists, who have to constantly look after tools, use these very tools. But other options are possible at home - you probably have the right substances:
- shampoo;
- liquid soap;
- delicate dishwashing detergent.
Important! It is best to add a drop of olive oil to the dishwashing detergent.
Conventional shampoos and liquid Fairy type detergents will wash your beauty blender just as good as special solutions, but you need very few of them, just a few drops (Fairy can be pipetted in general).
How to wash a beauty blender from foundation and everything else?
- Put a little detergent on a beauty blender.
- Squeeze and unclench the sponge several times to form a lot of foam.
- Rinse the beauty blender with plenty of warm running water.
- Squeeze the sponge.
- Leave it to dry on a special stand (it is included in the kit - unless, of course, you have slipped a fake).
Useful Tips:
- The beauty blender dries completely in two to three days, so if you apply makeup every day, it is best to have two or three such devices.
- It is best to store sponges in their native packaging, even if the tubes take up a lot of space, or in a plastic handbag.
- You should not keep them in a cosmetic bag, a real beauty blender - the thing is quite fragile.
Important! Do not try to dry the sponge on a battery, under a hairdryer or on a gas stove - this will make it lose its quality and become tough.
