A Beautyblender is a makeup sponge that is used to apply and blend liquid and cream makeup products. It is known for its unique egg-shaped design and soft, bouncy texture. If you’re new to using a Beautyblender,

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to use it:

1. Start by dampening your Beautyblender with water. Squeeze out any excess liquid so that the sponge is only slightly damp. This will help to create a smooth, even application.
2. Apply your liquid or cream makeup products to the back of your hand or a palette.
3. Dab the Beautyblender onto the product, then bounce and press it onto your skin to blend the product in. Avoid dragging or pulling the sponge across your skin, as this can cause streaking.
4. Use the pointed end of the sponge to reach tight spaces and corners of the face, such as around the nose and under the eyes.
5. To clean the Beautyblender, rinse it under running water and use a mild cleanser or shampoo. Gently squeeze out any excess water, then lay it out to dry completely.

It’s recommended to use a new beauty blender every 3 month or so, to keep the hygienic and performance on top.

As you get more comfortable with using your Beautyblender, you may find that you prefer to use it damp or dry, depending on the product you’re applying. Experiment with different techniques to find the method that works best for you and your specific skin type.

Are you supposed to wet your Beautyblender every time you use it?

It is generally recommended to dampen your Beautyblender with water before use. When the sponge is damp, it swells up and becomes softer, which allows for a smoother and more even application of liquid and cream makeup products. The dampness of the sponge also helps to create a lighter, more natural-looking coverage.

That being said, some people like to use it dry, it can work as well but with a different effect. Using a dry Beautyblender can provide more coverage and it’s great for applying powder products, so you might want to experiment to find what works best for you.

In any case, it is important to clean and sanitize your Beautyblender regularly, especially after each use. Bacteria can accumulate inside the sponge and cause breakouts or other skin issues. To clean it, rinse it under running water and use a mild cleanser or shampoo. Gently squeeze out any excess water, then lay it out to dry completely.
