The Original Beautyblender

I love my beauty blender. I use it on a daily basis to apply all of my liquid foundations and concealer. It can reach all the crooks and crevices of the face. My face does not appear to have too much makeup but still looks flawless whenever I use the beauty blender.

My beauty blender is my best friend, without it I would be lost. My makeup application is made 10 times easier with this product in my life, it is perfect for applying my liquid foundation flawlessly over my face and into all the difficult to reach places such as around my nose. I am so glad I bought the beauty blender, I recommend it 100%, you will not regret making this purchase!

This sponge is amazing! works so well with my mac pro longwear concealer and nars sheer glow foundation! It gives such a flawless finish. Would recommend to everyone.

I read quite a few reviews online and on other blogs to figure out whether the beauty blender was just another hyped product or actually worth the $$. Eventually I succumbed and purchased mine from Camera Ready Cosmetics (the price was okayish). I absolutely love the way this blends out concealer under your eyes and liquid/cream foundation. It gives a lovely, flawless finish and more often than not the foundation blends in so seamlessly, you don't really feel like you're wearing any and your skin just appears naturally flawless. =This literally replaces two or three brushes - so if you had one of these and you were just starting out - or on a strict budget then you could forego getting a foundation brush/concealer brush (dependent on the type of product of course). Overall a great tool to have and it really works. So in short - definitely worth the hype.

I love this thing! it is soo good for blending out any lines in foundation, and is very good for applying concealer evenly. It is a nice shape, and has a good feel to it. Love the pink colour too!

Absolutely loooooove these. Must have must have must have. Why? Cause it evenly spreads makeup without bloches. Blends perfectly

I had read so many reviews about this sponge, but couldn't believe how much it cost so I put it off for ages- I wish I hadn't!

I have owned my sponge for about 8 months now and it was worth every dollar! You don't have to buy from overseas websites now as makeup.co.nz and beautybliss.co.nz stock them. I have tried many different ways to apply foundation over the years and this pink sponge is the best by far.

It doesn't soak up foundation, it applies evenly and gives you an airbrush type finish that is flawless.

I have found even with foundations that I don't like the finish of as they are quite thick (such as Revlon Colourstay) if I apply them with the Beauty Blender they transform into a lovely foundation- it truly is a wonder product.

I love that it is a elliptical shape that allows you to get in underneath your eye and around your nose- I use it to apply my concealer too. Plus it is latex free, non-allergenic and odor free so perfect even for sensitive skin.

The only downside with this product is that it does take a little more care than a brush. You need to wash it regularly and leave it to air dry. Plus travelling with it can be a bit of a pain but I found putting it in a snaplock bag and washing it with whatever shower gel you are travelling with works pretty well.

I've used this to apply two different liquid foundations, pressed powder foundation, loose powder, and pressed powder blush. Liquid foundation: Does a nice even job of stippling it on but I was only able to get light to medium coverage at best. Even though the sponge was damp it did soak up a fair amount of foundation. It did leave tiny little dots in my foundation application or sponge prints for lack of a better description but they were way less noticeable than finger strokes if I had applied it with my fingers or a lousy foundation brush. The rolling motion to blend it didn't seem work as it either got the application that was setting damp or left sponge prints. I did find the point end useful for getting in corners and dabbing a dot of foundation on pimples and blending it in. It probably would've worked better if I had used a concealer since you don't get full coverage applying foundation with this sponge. Overall though it was a better streak free finish than my previous experience with a lousy brush or my fingers.With pressed powder foundation: I used it dry. It does give a more full coverage look to your foundation and definitely works better for getting in the corners of your eyes and nose better than a traditional flat sponge that comes with compacts. I had better success using the pointy end to dot an extra layer of foundation over pimples and blemishes, no sponge marks either. Can look a bit cakey depending on how much you layer on but I just dusted off the excess with my kabuki brush. With loose powder: I used dry it to stipple on my Antipodes Mineral Finishing Powder on top of my liquid foundation and it gave it a nice easy streak free even finish. I would still recommend using a kabuki or powder brush to lightly dust off any excess. But I would say it applies it better than a kabuki in my opinion and I can stipple more on to areas that need more loose powder. I used the side to stipple some on top of my blush since Antipodes' mineral powder can give a subtle highlight. The point also reached well under and over my eyelids to prep for eyeshadow and to set my eyeshadow application. I probably will more likely use it to apply loose powder rather than foundation in the future.With pressed blush: I would have used it damp if I had a cream blush but since I have powder blush I used it dry. I stippled on my blush and then sort of blended it in with the sponge and it mimicked the look of a slight healthy flush so well in fact it was the look I was always trying to get but couldn't with a brush. I dabbed a bit of loose powder on it to set it and it was gorgeous. The look stayed put all day even though I was doing active work in 40 degree heat. I swear every time I went to the bathroom that day I spent at least 20 seconds gazing in the mirror at my perfect gorgeous flushed cheeks, it wasn't more pink as the day wore on and it didn't fade either.This and loose powder is probably my favorite use of the beauty blender.

I had heard so much about this sponge that when I saw it on sale I just had to try it. However, while I did think it was a good product, I find myself using it less and less. Yes it does apply a nice light layer of foundation and yes it blends it perfectly, but even with wetting the sponge prior to application I still feel like it is soaking up a lot of product. It can also be a pain having to wash it after every application, although it does dry pretty quickly. The shape of it is good though, I like to use the smaller end for blending in concealer under my eyes and around my nose. Overall I think it is just a personal preference and dependant on the foundation I am using at the time. For some foundations it is all I use but for others I prefer the finish that I get from a brush or using my fingers. It is something that is worth a try if you get the chance, but I certainly will still be using other methods of application in conjunction with this.

The Beautyblender sure did do what it said it would! I love that after each application, the beautyblender never fails to give me a flawless face! I use the Beautyblender to apply liquid foundation and BB cream, the smaller ends allow me to access hard to reach area easily. The sponge itself is very soft and looks pretty in pink. The only annoying thing about the Beautyblender is the washing after! If the sponge isn't that expensive, I would buy one, use it then chuck it away to avoid the cleaning.
