You know that kind of product that you buy without high expectations and suddenly becomes essential in your daily life, making you wonder how you lived all that time without it!
Many people define Beauty Blender (BB), a makeup sponge that has conquered more and more women, inside and outside the country.
Why is success ?! Probably the fact that the sponge has a super soft texture. But below you will find all the information about this product, so you can draw your own conclusions and know if Beauty Blender can indeed be helpful in your beauty routine too!
What is Beauty Blender?
Raphaella Bahia, FR Microcenter makeup artist and eyebrow designer, explains that Beauty Blender is a droplet-shaped sponge with a super soft texture. "It can be used both dry and wet and also helps to make the skin more even," he says.
Most bloggers who have already tried the product make sure that Beauty Blender is really different because no other sponge is so soft and smooth. Probably why she's been so pleased!
Beauty Blender was initially found only in pink (original beauty blender). But then new colors came up: white (pure beauty blender) and black (pro beauty blender). All are the same, the color is just an aesthetic detail!
How to use Beauty Blender?
Raphaella Bahia explains that Beauty Blender can be used dry or wet, to apply primer, concealer and foundation on the face.
Esmell Leblon makeup artist Eliane Araújo points out that, in the case of the base, in addition to applying it with Beauty Blender all over the face, the woman can not forget the neck area, to ensure a uniform makeup.
Marcio Mello, from Éclat salon, reinforces that BB's great advantage is that it is very soft and can be used dry. “It does not hurt the skin and is very smooth. So it has no mystery to use it: apply the product on the sponge and go all over the face, not forgetting the corners ?, remember.
Rick Silva, makeup artist at Sonia Nesi Beauty Studio, points out, however, that there is a problem with using sponge to apply liquid products. "The big problem with using sponge to apply liquid product is that it absorbs a lot of it, and you end up having some waste," he says.
But, makeup artist Rick Silva gives a solution so that this waste does not occur excessively. The tip is to use the wet BB. "So the sponge will already have other liquids inside it and will not absorb so much its base," he says.
"Another advantage of using Wet Beauty Blender is that with plenty of water in the foundation application, the coverage will be lighter and the skin, therefore, looking more natural, beautiful and hydrated," says makeup artist Rick Silva.

How to sanitize Beauty Blender?
Beauty Blender's own soap is available on the market: Blendercleanser, in liquid and solid version. However, this is not the only alternative, it is possible to sanitize the sponge with products that you find easily for sale in pharmacies and supermarkets.

Raphaella Bahia highlights that you can also wash the sponge with child shampoo. "I do that with my makeup stuff," comments the pro. Already the makeup artist Marcio Mello indicates to wash the BB once a week with water and mild soap.
Makeup artist Eliane Araújo Lavar reinforces that a good alternative is to wash the sponge with Johnson? S Baby shampoo. "Beauty Blender can be stored in the makeup case, you only need to be careful that she has no contact with other products and get dirty again", highlights.
