1.HISTORY
Veteran Hollywood makeup artist Rea Ann Silva has managed to transform the makeup sponge into a reusable, and highly craving part of any makeup kit. Rea Ann Silva has a lot of tricks, one of them was activating a sponge with water which gives you an unblemished & smooth finish. That’s when she felt an epiphany that using an edge-less wet sponge could result in makeup with a naturally seamless finish and can be applied equally all over the face and neck. In 2002, tired of the normal foundation sponges in the market, she conceptualised this pink sensation- beautyblender, an egg shaped sponge that fits the different shape of your face.
In 2003, the beauty blender was officially incorporated. Since then it is known to be consistent in remarkably solving the issues that makeup artists faced, before its invention. After its ten years of success, in 2013, the original beautyblender® won the Allure’s Best of Beauty Award for the ‘fifth time’.
2. TYPES OF BLENDERS
The original beauty blender
The most famous makeup sponge is the original beauty blender, the very first of its kind. Its round shaped end is used to cover the cheek region which provides an air brush like finish to create a blush on the cheek bones and its precision tip tackles the areas under eyes.
Flat ended sponge
Quite the competitor for the original beautyblender, this tri-purpose tool covers all the dimensions. Its rounded sides are used in broader areas, the flat edge is used for contouring, and the precise tip covers the hard to reach areas such as the space between eyes and the nose.
The tear drop
Its purpose has been to provide a 360 degrees perfection to the face. It has been given a shape to control the amount of coverage over specific areas. Its super pointed tip is used to cover even the smallest regions that other sponges must have missed. It is best used with liquid foundation, concealer and illuminator.
Cosmetic wedges
These wedges absorbs the product less and gives out to your skin more. By using these triangular structured sponge you not only reduce the wastage but also it has been shaped in such a way that covers all the aspects of one’s face. Its fine edges works best to reach the compact areas.

- Apply the product on a flat surface like the back of your hand. Now, dip the round shaped area of the makeup spongeinto it.
- Begin to apply your product on the face by gently dabbing the beauty blender sponge. Without pressing the sponge too hard, the sponge blends the liquid product into your pores evenly.
- Use your ring finger to smudge concealer under the eyes- dark circles. Use the pointed end of the Beauty blender to mix your concealer into the base foundation.
- Dab the rounded part of the Beauty blender into a translucent setting powder and pat or slightly swab into the skin to set foundation and concealer for a more finished look.
