“The Ultimate Guide to Beautyblenders: Are They Really Worth the Hype?” – New York Daily News

The Beautyblender is a makeup sponge that changed the beauty industry when it was invented in 2003. It has won numerous Best of Beauty awards for its ability to blend makeup more smoothly than standard brushes. The hot-pink egg-shaped sponge helps leave a seamless finish while the pointed end can blend in the under-eye area. The original Beautyblender is a hot-pink egg, but multiple colors, shapes, and sizes are available.

To use the Beautyblender, you need to thoroughly dampen it under running water before applying the foundation with your fingertips first, then use the dampened Beautyblender to blend it out. After using the makeup, clean the Beautyblender with a liquid brush cleanser and let it air dry.

The Beautyblender isn’t cheap and needs to be replaced every three to six months. It’s recommended to clean it regularly to avoid bacterial build-up. The Beautyblender is intended for use with liquid foundation but can be used with other products as well.

The Original Beautyblender Makeup Sponge is a hot-pink latex-free foam that smoothly applies makeup for an airbrushed finish. Other products worth considering include the Beautyblender Liquid Blendercleanser, Beautyblender Blendercleanser Solid Sponge and Brush Cleanser, Beautyblender Blender Defender Protective Case, and Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge.

Overall, the Beautyblender is a staple in makeup artists’ bags and is a valuable tool for achieving flawless-looking makeup.
