Five Ways You’ve Never Thought To Use A Beautyblender!

23 June, 2016 - 09:01pm by - First Lady | 19 Comments

By BR Tabatha

Who can remember life before their Beautyblender? Makeup professionals and beginners alike have embraced those little sponges of goodness, and the way they bounce their way to beautiful flawless finishes. But are you doing everything you could be doing with yours? Check out these five amazing uses for Beautyblenders!

Do you swipe your skincare on using your fingers? Show your skin some extra love and apply it with a Beautyblender. Bouncing serums and moisturiser on is so much gentler on the skin than smooshing it on and around with your digits. The Beautyblender can also be used to apply sunscreen too.

Is your Beautyblender coming to the end of its days but you’re not quite ready to toss it out? Use it to create ombre nails! Not only will you get a little more bang for your buck by repurposing the sponge, but also you’ll create a gorgeously soft look.

Like to dye your hair at home and aren’t afraid to try something a little different? Take a leaf out of hair stylist extraordinaire, Jamie Stevens, and use the Beautyblender to strobe your hair. Yes, hair strobing is a thing, and it’s basically just taking your Beautyblender and using it to add colour to your hair where the light hits to make it look shinier. Much like the ombre nails it’s probably best to use an old Beautyblender because you’ll have to chop it in half. I. Know. The horror.

Is there anything worse than getting ready to head out and then noticing deodorant marks on your clothes? (Ok, there are plenty things worse, but it is a pain in the rear.) Well apparently a damp Beautyblender can be used to take out the marks. Just dampen and buff. Now that’s a quick and easy solution we love!

Do your boobs need a boost? Women are now using Beautyblenders to stuff their bras from the outsides, resulting in killer cleavage. One tip, don’t dampen the sponge before doing this… 

So there you have it, five uses for a Beautyblender you may well never have thought us. So do tell… what other uses have you discovered for the Beautyblender? Is there anything we need to know about it? Sharing is caring!

Heheh I don't think I'd ever stuff my bra with a beauty blender. My boobs are way too big already, so unflattering trying to find tops to fit my upper half properly.

So handy! I like the idea of using an old beauty blender to create ombre nails.

I don't use a beauty blender but I like the deodorant tip

Sunscreen application is a great idea! I hate getting it all over my hands!

I was so expecting makeup tips. Very interesting, I would never have thought of any of these. I just use mine for foundation and concealer. I'm going to try the nail idea out when I next need to stop using a sponge for my face.

So thanks for sharing. Next time I will use it for applying primer. Good to know some sponge uses

I wish I had thought of repurposing my one before I cut it in half. Some great ideas here, especially the hair strobing. I wouldn't use this for skincare as the sponge does absorb quite a bit of product.

I nearly used my blender to apply stain varnish to some wooden clothes hangers the other day. then the man saved it by suggesting a microfibre cloth.

I have yet to try a Beautyblender, would like to try it for applying BB cream.

These are some great Beauty blender tips, the cleavage one wouldnt work for me though, I would need 10+ to make a difference in mine lol but I do like the idea of using an old one to ombre nails :) I like to use mine as a blender for liquid highlight, one of my Beauty blenders is near its end so I will be using it for my nails.

24th June, 2016

Very interesting! I love the idea of using it for doing an ombre nail!

24th June, 2016

Lots of ideas that I haven't heard before. I will try these when my beauty blender wears down

24th June, 2016

Bra stuffing?!!! People are so inventive.

24th June, 2016

Would never have thought of most of these but love the ideas, especially the hair one.

24th June, 2016

OOPs I had never tries a beauty blender and looks like my digits should be replaced. I will be really interested in reading all the comments form the BR ladies as I have some learning to do.

I'm still at a loss of how you could even stuff your bra with these things!?

tannygirl suggested above that maybe they get cut in half and then stuffed. Still weird though
