Beautyblender Makeup Sponge

Wondering why certain makeup techniques look great on others but not quite right on you? It might come down to face shape. Knowing your face shape helps you contour, highlight, and even choose hairstyles that enhance your natural structure. Here’s how to find your face shape in just a few simple steps — no guesswork, no measuring tape required. Step 1: Pull Your Hair Back Start with your hair off your face and shoulders. A clear view of your hairline, jaw, and cheeks is key. Step 2: Look in the Mirror Pay attention to: Your forehead width The shape of your jawline The length vs. the width of your face Where your cheekbones sit Step 3: Match the Signs Oval Face Forehead slightly wider than the chin The face is longer than it is wide Rounded jawline Round Face Equal width and length Full cheeks Rounded jawline with no sharp angles Square Face Jaw, forehead, and cheeks are almost the same width Strong, angular jawline Heart-Shaped Face Wider forehead Narrow chin High, define...

Want your makeup to survive heat, humidity, and a full day of wear? Enter: setting spray — the final (and essential) step in your routine. A few strategic spritzes can lock everything in, melt powders into skin, and give you that lived-in glow without fading, smudging, or slipping. Here’s how to use setting spray for makeup that goes the distance. Step 1: Finish Your Makeup Complete your full look — foundation, concealer, blush, highlighter, and even powder. Setting spray is your last step, not part of the base. Step 2: Shake It Up Always shake your setting spray well. This ensures the ingredients are evenly mixed, so you get consistent results with every spritz. Step 3: Mist, Don’t Soak Hold the bottle about 6–8 inches from your face and spray in an “X” and “T” motion to cover all areas. Pro Tip: Don’t drench. You want a light, even mist, not a full-on splash. Step 4: Blend to Lock It In For an ultra-melted, skin-like finish, gently bounce a damp Beautyblender ove...

Setting powder is the unsung hero of long-lasting makeup. When used right, it locks in your look, controls shine, and gives skin a soft-focus finish. The key? Application technique — and the right tools. Here’s how to use setting powder like a pro, without settling into fine lines or flattening your glow. Step 1: Choose the Right Powder Look for a translucent setting powder for a natural finish, or a tinted formula if you want a little extra coverage. Pro tip: Use loose powder for all-over setting and pressed powder for targeted touch-ups. Step 2: Prep with the Right Base Make sure your foundation and concealer are blended and not too wet. Your Beautyblender should be slightly damp, not soaked. Let cream products settle for a few seconds before setting. Step 3: Press, Don’t Dust Dip the Power Pocket Puff or the flat end of your damp Beautyblender into powder. Then press and roll it into the skin — don’t swipe or buff. Where to apply: Under the eyes to set concealer Aroun...

If you’re asking, “How long does a Beautyblender last?” — you might already be overdue for a new one. Your Beautyblender is a pro-level tool, but it’s not meant to last forever. For best results (and clean, glowing skin), replacing it regularly is key. Here’s how to know when it’s time to bounce to a fresh one. The 3-Month Rule We recommend replacing your Beautyblender every 3 months. That’s about how long it takes for wear and tear — and hidden bacteria — to build up, even with regular cleaning. Why? Because a sponge used daily absorbs not just product, but oil, dirt, and skin cells. And once it starts breaking down, it won’t blend like it’s supposed to. Signs It’s Time to Replace Visible rips or cracking A sponge that stays stained after washing A change in texture (too stiff or too soft) That not-so-fresh smell If your sponge isn’t bouncing back like it used to — or worse, causing streaks — it’s time for a new one. Keep It Cleaner, Longer To extend your sponge’s life a...

Square Face Goal: Soften strong angles Where to Contour:...

Let’s be real: makeup should enhance your skin, not settle into every fine line. The secret to smoothing wrinkles without piling on product? It’s all in the prep — and the blend . Here’s how to minimize the look of wrinkles and keep your makeup fresh, lifted, and flawless all day. 1. Start With Skincare Hydrated skin is smooth skin. Always prep with: A lightweight moisturizer A smoothing primer Think of it as your wrinkle-blurring base coat. 2. Use Less, Blend More More foundation = more creasing. Instead: Dot foundation only where needed Use a damp Beautyblender to bounce and blend Focus on buildable coverage, not full-face layers 3. Go Cream Over Powder Cream products blend into skin better and look more natural. Try cream blush or bronzer for a fresh, youthful glow. 4.

Want that lit-from-within glow without looking like a disco ball? Highlighter is your not-so-secret weapon — and it’s all about placement. Using a Beautyblender to apply your highlighter gives you control, precision, and that skin-like finish. Here’s where and how to glow like a pro. 1. Cheekbones (The Classic) Bounce highlighter along the tops of your cheekbones — just above where your blush sits. Pro Tip: Use the pointed end of your damp Beautyblender for sharp precision. 2. Bridge of the Nose Lightly tap highlighter down the bridge for a lifted look. Avoid the tip if you don’t want a shiny nose. 3. Cupid’s Bow A tiny bounce above your upper lip makes lips look fuller instantly. 4. Inner Corners of the Eyes Brighten tired eyes with a pop of highlighter in the inner corners. Why it works: It catches the light and opens up your whole face. 5. Brow Bone & Above the Brow Highlight just under and above your eyebrows for a subtle lift. Tip: Use the micro mi...

Let’s get one thing straight: all makeup sponges are not created equal. If you’re using a sponge that swipes, smears, or soaks up your foundation, step away. The original Beautyblender was made to bounce , not blot. Here’s your ultimate guide to using a makeup sponge the right way — Beautyblender style. Step 1: Wet Drench your Beautyblender under running water until it expands. Why: Our exclusive aqua-activated™ foam was made to work wet . It ensures minimal product waste and maximum blend. Step 2: Squeeze Gently squeeze out excess water, then wrap in a clean towel to absorb extra moisture. Pro Tip: Your sponge should feel damp, not dripping. Step 3: Bounce Dip into foundation , concealer, cream blush — whatever you’re applying — and bounce , don’t drag. Why: Bouncing presses product into the skin for a smooth, airbrushed finish. It also builds coverage without caking. Step 4: Repeat for Every Step Need to blend cream bronzer? Check. Press in the setting powder? ...

Have you ever tried a foundation that looks perfect in the bottle but is off on your face? That’s probably an undertone issue, not a shade issue. Your skin tone is the surface color of your skin. Your undertone is the subtle hue beneath the surface, cool, warm, or neutral, that affects how products look on you. Knowing yours is the secret to shade-matching success. The Three Undertone Types Cool: Skin has hints of pink, red, or blue. Silver jewelry tends to pop. You likely burn before you tan. Warm: Skin leans golden, peachy, or yellow. Gold jewelry flatters you. You tan easily and rarely burn. Neutral: A mix of both. You can wear gold or silver. Your skin doesn’t feel too warm or too cool. Quick Ways to Identify Your Undertone Vein Check: Look at your wrist. Blue/purple veins = cool. Green = warm. A mix = neutral. White vs. Off-White Test: Which makes your skin glow more? White = cool. Cream = warm. Both = neutral. Sun Reaction: Burn? Likely cool. Tan? Likely warm. Both? Probably neut...

If your skin isn’t feeling smooth, your makeup won’t look seamless. That’s where exfoliation comes in. Exfoliation is the process of removing dead skin cells from the surface of your skin, revealing the fresh, healthy-looking layer underneath. Think of it as hitting reset for your face: clearer texture, better absorption, and a glow that makeup can’t fake. Why Exfoliate? Dead skin buildup can lead to: Dullness Clogged pores Flaky texture Foundation that settles or cakes Regular exfoliation helps clear the way for skincare products to work more effectively and gives your makeup a skin-like finish that lasts longer. Types of Exfoliation There are two main ways to exfoliate: Physical Exfoliation: Manual scrubbing using a tool or granular product (like a scrub or brush). Use with care — too much pressure can irritate skin. Chemical Exfoliation: Uses gentle acids (like AHAs or BHAs) to dissolve dead skin cells. No scrubbing required — just smooth, glow-up skin with consistent use. How Often...
