11 Ways You're Using Your Beautyblender Wrong | POPSUGAR Beauty Junkie

If you're the standard Beautyblender obsessee, you own multiple sponges in every variant it has to offer. Pink, purple, white, black, and neon-green sponges have taken over your makeup bag or vanity, and you're proud of it! These sponges symbolize what it means to "get" makeup: it separates those who are serious about makeup application from those who aren't that passionate. When you see someone bust out a pink blender to apply foundation, highlighter, or even bronzer, you know they mean business. One might think there isn't much to using the blender: just wet, dab, and apply to your skin for a flawless finish, right? But there are actually several ways you're incorrectly using the blender and possibly endangering its lifespan! (Cue the screams.) In an effort to keep your blenders safe from harm's way, check out the video to learn what to avoid when it comes to using your blender, and let us know your favorite way to use it!

"Throw your sponge out after 3 months"😂😂😂 At that price I will have it for years Honey😂😂😂

[llamabeans]

These are all great tips! I especially like the ideas on repurposing the sponge when it's all worn out. But tbh, I use mine waaaay longer than 3 months before buying a replacement!!

[isabellastares]

why the hell would you use it on your face creams and serums they can get expensive, and the bulk of the product would just sink in. it is a sponge after all

Omg my mom rubs on her foundation with the beauty blender😩 and every time I tell her she's doing it wrong she yells at me 😑 life

[monamiller]

i would not recommend using it for facial moisturizers

[evewest]

Am I the only one upset that they didn't title the video BeautyBlunders

[kaitlyndupree]

when you use it damp to apply highlight its a dream and it gives you a dewy look

You can use baby shampoo as a gentle soap to clean it (or makeup brushes). You can add a bit of olive oil to the soap for tougher stains.

I actually deep clean mine with rubbing alcohol it kills the bacteria and doesn't hurt the sponge.

[kittenme]

I don't think using the beauty blender dry is a mistake :/

[bora]

[maxjuan]

to clean the beauty blender just use whatever oil u have and dish soap

[Sophie-sepv]

The black beauty blender is also for products like color ful cream paints and product that will stain!

[priyabhatt]

I'll probably use this in the future.

[FashionChaletNET]

[estefanygarcia]

[perianaghadevi]

Beauty blender will not soaks our foundation which we applies on our face?

[ftbastardx]

Do you use a darker foundation just for videos?

[emmibruce]

I hate using the packaging for drying the sponge, it doesn't work very well and takes much longer over leaving it on a clean towel.
