Before we get into it, we can’t stress the versatility of makeup blenders–they can be used for just about any kind of makeup!
But for the sake of learning, let’s focus today on makeup blenders for flawless foundation application.
Before you even pop off the lid of your favorite foundation, here’s a pro tip: moisten the beauty blender sponge by soaking it in cold water, or by spritzing it with a setting spray. When damp, a makeup sponge will give you a sheer, dewy finish without using up all of your product.
Next, it’s important to make sure that the sponge is damp, and not wet. In other words, proceed to gently squeeze out all the excess water from the blender, taking care not to be too harsh on the tool itself.
Now for the application, it’s recommended that you avoid any heavy-handed motions, and that you don’t just drag your makeup blender across your skin in this way.
When using your makeup blender, it’s recommended that you instead adopt a bouncing motion, lightly patting and blending the foundation on your skin to give it a uniform, flawless coverage and diffused finish.
To follow up with concealer, simply apply the product beneath the eye area with your ring finger, before using the pointed edge of the makeup blender to seamlessly blend your concealer with the base foundation.
Now, it’s time to set your look. To do so, press the rounded part of the sponge into your setting powder before stippling it over the concealer. This will not only set your makeup for longer-lasting wear, but it will also help prevent any smudging, crinkling or smearing.
