Company Description
“Modernize the way you make up with the much sought after celebrity make-up sponge. beautyblender’s elliptical shape is designed to match the contours of your face, and it’s lack of edges eliminates streaks, allowing for a perfect makeup application every time.
blend. cleanse. repeat.
Slightly dampening your beautyblender will cause it to expand and get even softer, creating the smoothest application of makeup you’ve ever seen. Clean the sponge using one of our specially formulated cleansers and see how your skin will stay cleaner, your beautyblender will last longer and your makeup will look better than ever.”
- The BeautyBlender starts out small and dry. You must wet it before using at which point it will just about double in size.
- Use the rounded bottom for applying foundation, bb creams, and tinted moisturizers to the whole face.
- Use the pointed tip at the top for applying concealer under the eyes and for getting in hard to reach spots like the side of the nose.
- After dipping the bottom of the sponge in foundation use a soft pouncing motion ::demonstrated in the video:: to apply a thin layer of product over the full face.
- For areas that need more coverage use a slight push-pounce motion ::also demonstrated in the video:: to apply a bit of extra product in these harder to cover spots.
- Make sure to cleanse your product after use, while you can use anything to clean the sponge my suggestion is the BeautyBlender Solid Cleanser.
I come from the world of theatre, where the best blender was a triangle sponge and our fingers. Makeup has come a long way!
I started wearing make-up in the second grade, when I started losing the pigment in my face, and wore it through my early adulthood. My skin is so sensitive, though, that I have a hard time finding make-up that doesn’t irritate it and don’t wear it anymore. I jokingly say that I wear makeup for a wedding and a funeral. My wedding, my funeral. LOL. I love reading how much you enjoy it, though!
You make it sound so easy, but I have a feeling I would still end up looking like a clown LOL!!
Thanks for this review i’ve never heard of beauty blender but i WILL be adding to my arsenal. I kind of thought you would finish the application by using a wiping motion to blend after the pouncing.
The beauty blender is one of my holy grail products! Always makes my makeup look flawless.
I am a beginner like truly one I have only had on makeup once in my entire life and I am in my 30’s I am ashamed so I need this lesson stat lol
What a cool makeup tool! My teen girls would love this. They use cotton pads now and they really don’t work as nicely as this product. Going to have to give it a try.
I had no idea that these blenders existed!! How cool! I want to give this a try. Thanks for introducing this to us. 🙂
I just bought my first sponge blender a few days ago. I always thought “That’s what my fingers are for” – boy was I missing out. It’s so much smoother and easier! Now I don’t think I’ll go without one.
I haven’t used a Beauty Blender, but have heard good things about them. Will have to give it a try!
I’ve never tried Beauty Blender before. I’m definitely intrigued by it!
Sounds easy when you say it. i used to work hard on my makeup but haven’t done much for a few years.
I am definitely a beginner! Thanks for the great video!
The beauty blender is a staple for me, for sure!
I’m obsessed with my beauty blender! I was seriously amazed at the difference it made in my makeup application.
You did a phenomenal job of showing how that works. It looks easy enough that I can handle it and believe me, I’m lazy with makeup. I’m usually using my fingers to spread my foundation which is probably pretty dumb!
Ugh I just really need to go pick up a beauty blender
I’ve been wearing makeup for almost 20 years, but if you looked at me, you’d think I was a beginner. Ha! You make it sound so easy!
I’ve still got this on my “to buy” list! I need to get out to Sephora or Ulta sans the kids.
What a neat product. I’m definitely interested in getting this!
That’s great that it doubles in size when wet. Thanks for sharing the cool info. 🙂
Isn’t beauty blender the BEST????
This would be great for me. I don’t wear makeup!
I have heard so many great things about BeautyBlender. Thanks for featuring the video.
Wow, you made that look so easy. I will have to check out that beauty blender sponge. It made the make up look very smooth and natural, thanks for the tip.
I’m glad you have confidence in us and want to give us the inside scoop. I love makeup but doubt i’ll ever be as good as you.

I thought the same thing at first and then I realized practice makes perfect. When first got the BeautyBlender I didn’t know what the heck to do with it but with some trial and error I was able to get the hang of it. Hopefully my tips will make your trial and errors take less time lol
I’ve had this product on my wish list for a long time! It’s cheap enough to buy, but I just always forget. When I went to Ulta to find one, they were sold out!
I don’t wear much (OK, any) makeup, really. Thanks for the tutorial and the video. Super helpful!
This is such a great tool for newbie makeup wearers like me! I like the idea of the pointed tip to get under the eyes.
Love your video, I gave you a thumbs up! Never heard of this, but now I do!
I have never even heard of Beauty Blender before now. You do learn something new everyday. My daughter is the makeup junkie in the house, she would be totally interested in this. Thanks for sharing.
I’ve never heard of Beauty Blender until now, but that’s awesome that it seems so easy to use!
I’ve never even heard about this before!! Sounds like it would be so much easier to apply with a smooth consistency.
Ok I’ve seen these everywhere! I need to try them
