The Truth About a Beauty Blender

Everyone raves about Beauty Blenders.  These soft, cone shaped tools are ideal for applying foundation and concealer.  It took me a long time to buy a beauty blender because there are so many look a like beauty blenders for a fraction of the prices.  I have tried several of these type of products and I never was happy with how the application went.  So I never spent the money on a "real" Beauty Blender.

I finally broke down and bought a real beauty blender (BB)last month and I LOVE IT! It retails at $19.95 for one small little beauty blender.  When you use the BB, wet the sponge and it grows to be twice the normal size.  When you apply your foundation with a wet BB, it will give you a better coverage with less product.

Since you use this product wet, it's easy to keep clean and not have to worry about using a dirty brush that you haven't cleaned in a week.  At first I thought it would be gross because there would be bacteria build up from the wet sponge and make up, I thought I would break out a lot.  But in fact, my skin hasn't broken out one since I started using this.

I dab my foundation on my face and then I blend it out with a BB in stippling motions.  You can use the pointed end to get in hard to reach places, which comes in handy when you are applying concealer around your eyes.  My face looks flawless when I am done applying my foundation.

I like using this even better then my domed kabuki brush!  The BB really gives you a flawless finish and it makes your blushes and other products you put on over your foundation, just look sooooo smoothe!

If you have been wondering about BB's or if you are on the edge about buying one, definitely get one.  You will be very happy you did.  They also come in a few different colors now.  White, purple and black!
