5 ways to use a beauty blender
If a flawless and smooth makeup base is what you are looking for, then do not underestimate the role of a beauty blender. These magical tools come in various shapes and aim to spread the foundation evenly without absorbing a lot of product. If used correctly, they can give you an airbrushed finish. Here are five ways to use your beauty blender.
To apply your foundation
The most common way to use a beauty blender is to apply your foundation evenly. Wet your beauty blender and squeeze out the excess water. Then take some foundation and press it on your skin gently with the sponge and blend it properly. Use the pointed tips of the blender to cover your under-eyes and around the nose to achieve a natural finish.
To apply your cream blush
You can also use your beauty blender to apply your cream blush or cheek tints to get a more natural and soft flush of color on the apples of your cheeks. Take the product and put three dots on your cheeks and then blend it well with the rounded end of the beauty sponge in a stippling motion to get the desired look.
To apply your highlighter
A beauty blender works really well for applying your highlighter. It prevents the highlighter from looking too glittery and gives your cheekbones a luminous natural glow. Apply the product using the round end of a wet blender and then blend using the sides moving from the cheekbone toward the temple. Highlight your eye corners and the browbone with the blender's pointy end.
To apply your contour
If you are using a cream-based contour, then you must use a beauty blender to achieve a more natural and sculpted look. First, grab your contour stick and draw lines along the hollows of your cheekbones, sides of your nose, and forehead. Then damp the beauty sponge and use its pointed end to blend the contour lines well for a precise and natural application.
For baking your face
Baking your face is extremely important to seal in the rest of your makeup including your foundation and concealer and achieve an airbrushed and flawless finish. Load the pointed end of the damp sponge with loose transparent powder and dab under your eyes, and cheekbones to set your base. Brush off the excess powder to get the perfect finish.
