I just recently bought myself one of these beauty blender's as I had aquired some foundations that I was finding weren't going on so well with my brushes. The Beauty blender is absolutely amazing as it completely blends in your make up and doesn't leave streaking, like brushes do.
Like most sponges it does soak up a bit of the product, but not so much that you end up with no makeup on your face.
The nicely pointed end and curved edges make it really easy to apply makeup all over you face, even in those annoying creases around noses and eyes.
I used it to blend in mouse foundations and my concealer and it worked brilliantly. It is also really reasonably priced but if you are looking for something a bit more economical you can always shop for the imitations, which soak up a bit more product but still work.
I would definitely recommend this to all of you who want streak free and well blended makeup.
I had heard about the Beauty Blender from a lot of the Beauty Guru's who I follow on Youtube, they highly raved about it! So I thought why not give it a go. When I first used it to apply my foundation I thought it was nice and hydrating to the skin but because I have more of an oily skin type my skin itself doesnt need this added hydration and I wasnt use to the dewy look that it gave my skin, even when I tried to set it with a powder it still had that look. Im definately more of a matte finish kinda girl so I didnt use it for a wee while. BUT... One day I saw one of the girls that I follow on Youtube using the Beauty Blender to apply her undereye concealer so I thought to try it, I havent used a brush to apply my undereye concealer ever since! Even when I do my friends make up I use it because it gives an amazing finish, I trust that its not going to disappoint and they are always so amazed with how their skin looks and feels after using it! It gives a beautiful finish and is lovely and hydrating which is great especially for the undereye area as that is an area of the face that struggles to get natural moisture in the first place. It also goes perfectly with both my high end and low end concealers. This is a great wee tool to have in your make up kit or to use in your daily routine if you have more of a normal to dry skin as it gives a lovely dewy finish to your skin and will feel amazing in the dry months/ days.
Tips: I havent even bothered trying to use this bone dry but I do notice a difference if I havent made it damp directly before use, doesnt have the same finish otherwise. So make it damps every time and do set it, especially with the undereye area.
