Now you can look like a movie star without the pricey services of a major make up artist.

Introducing Beautyblender, the ultimate make up sponge applicator. Invented by top Hollywood make up artist Rea Ann Silva, Beautyblender has been created to leave you with a professional finish and a flawless complexion. Silva knows that the key to a perfect face is simple a perfect blend. So forget your fingers or sharp-edged triangular sponges, these application methods waste make up and can leave visible streaks.

Beautyblender’s patent-pending elliptical shape makes application foolproof by allowing you to access hard-to-reach areas with stunning ease. Its suede texture is sensual to the touch and its unique curves fit the contours of your face, leaving your make up dazzling and undetectable. Beautyblender is latex free, non-allergenic and odor free.

My foundation has never looked so good!

A few years ago I would have never thought that I'd be using a sponge to apply my foundation! In fact - looking back at those ratty little circle sponges that come in compacts I would have probably laughed in your face! However - I have officially changed my mind on all sponges after using the amazing, wonderful, pink, Beauty Blender! Ta daaa!

The Beauty Blender is not just any sponge, however. It's especially formed to apply liquid and powder to the face. Not just in it's shape and size, but the way the whole sponge is made makes it unique to copy-cats. I have used dupes and replicas but nothing is as good as the real thing.

The Beauty Blender applies my Double Wear foundation with ease. It uses less foundation than I would normally (despite the rumors of it sucking foundation up), it gives me amazing coverage, and a flawless finish! I promise I'm not a spokes person for Beauty Blenders - I really do just love them!

As a daily foundation wearer with little time in the morning, I am always looking for something that makes my makeup application quicker and easier. This is the tool! I squeeze some water through the sponge, then put some foundation on the back of my hand, dab the sponge in and bounce it around my face. That's all I have to do - it does the rest of the work for me! And I promise you - never has my foundation looked so good.

Downsides - I know it's expensive for what it is. I know. But - it's just so good! Plus you can pick them up a little cheaper online and especially if you buy a duo pack (plus then you've got a backup).

Also - if you don't take care of it, it won't last long. So I have some SARD wonder soap on hand to give it a gentle clean every 2-3 days. I say gentle because it can tear and rip quite easily so you have to watch your nails aren't digging in as you use it.

Overall, I would recommend this beauty to anyone and anything. But mainly to people who wear foundation every day. It is SO much easier than a brush and I swear I use less foundation! If you're really worried about the price or it being a hit and miss - try the Real Techniques sponge as a dupe first. If you like that, then you'll love the Beauty Blender! Let me know how you find it - was it love at first sight?

Tips: Don't be alarmed - it does stain a little! But definitely give it a quick wash every few days to keep bacteria at bay. Also - keep it somewhere fairly dry otherwise they can develop mould which isn't too nice. I use the rounded side for foundation and the pointed side for concealer and get a flawless finish everytime!

Beauty Blender's fuss didnt add up...

Well, I was truly disappointed in this Beauty Blender that everyone was talking up.... others will think that I am just being negative, but this is what I found...

I was disappointed because, as soon as I tried it... it tore!!!!! :O I thought, oh geez, did I do something wrong, but I was blending it in dabbing and lightly blending outwards near my inner corner of my eyes and it tore!!! I couldn't believe it. i wasn't even doing it hard or anything, so maybe it was a odd one, i don't know, but i know that i was doing what chicks on youtube do.

I also noticed it soaked up ALOT of my BB cream that I used, which I didn't like, as most of you know, you don't want to use up your product too soon.... and when I used my BB cream on it, it got soaked up and also made the Beauty Blender dry. :(

I wouldnt recommend it to friends because I didn't like it and it wasn't "that great" for me.

when I was blending, it didn't entirely blend in as perfect as I thought it would... no matter how much I tried to dab and move gently, I could still feel residue of my bb cream on my skin, even after using the other side of the B.B

Over all, I was really disappointed with it, and I think, for the price, that it is not worth it.

I wouldn't use it again...

Tips: Don't buy it.

Blending my beauty OUT! :)

Loved this product so much that i have repurchased more than twice! I found when i first received the beauty blender i found the application hard to get used to. Even after getting all of the water out i still felt like my face was damp. This ended up being my favourite thing after the third or fourth application. The technology of the damp sponge so easily blended out any one of my foundations and seemed to make those stubborn thicker foundations spread a lot more simply as well. I did get put off that my pretty pink sponge did eventually stain but always made an excuse to get a new one :) I felt this tool made the application process at least half the length of my normal foundation routine and was also really refreshing as it went.

Tips: After applying let the makeup sit for 30 seconds or so to let the product sink into your skin, the beauty blender so easily blends it over your skin but i found giving it a few seconds to dry up a little afterwards gave me best results.

BEAUTY BLENDER REVIEW

This has become my holy grail product! I literally cannot speak more highly of it and how much i love it. I either put my liquid foundation onto my hand or onto the beauty blender itself and dab it onto my face, using bouncing motions to blend the foundation into my skin. I LOVE how it makes my foundation look and feel - it feels so hydrated and leaves my foundation looking flawless and airbrushed. the beauty blender is worth the price and i will continue to repurchase

Tips: run water and hold the beauty blender in your hand and pump your fist with the beauty blender in for about 10 times until the beauty blender has absorbed water and has fluctuated in size - it basically doubles in size - ensure all the excess water is squeezed out and can even place into a town to remove any remaining water.

You need the beauty blender cleaner solid in your life! its a must have and makes the beauty blender smell amazing - lavender scent and it is so gentle with the beauty blender. I will not use anything else to wash mine after using the solid!

My new favourite thing!

This is the perfect applicator for foundation. I can't believe I didn't purchase it sooner. Not only is it absolutely adorable but it is the best way to put on foundation for me. I never found any decent brushes that work for my skin, and sort of always used my hands. Now that I have this my makeup looks flawless. It is a quick way to apply makeup and is my absolute favourite! I totally reccomend for everyone!! Once you try it you'll never want to stop!

Tips: If you do get it get the pink one, it's super cute!

Photoshop perfection skin!

Wow! I wish I knew about this when this first came out! Many youtube beauty gurus, and beauty bloggers have been raving about this product for so long. Took the plunge and bought my first one about a year ago, WOW, now I can understand the massive hype about it.

Place under a cold running tap, and squeeze 15 times until it doubles in size, squeeze out excess water and stipple/bounce beauty blender around your face to effortlessly blend your foundation in, so soft on my face, and it gives you perfect flawless coverage.

I want to give this a perfect score, but I just cant, as the price is so scary for product that can only last until it get too unhygienic to use, which is around 3-6 months depending how much you use it/how good you are with deep cleansing it, and making sure you let it dry in the open air rather in a box/draw as it can get mouldy!!

Love the results of this beauty tool, gives you that Kardashian glow, flawless finish!

A+ for results but C- for price as there are other sponges on the market they essentially do the same thing.

Tips: WASH after every use, let dry in sun, deep cleanse at least once a week to prolong the life of it!

Loves it!

I was pretty sceptical about this product, mainly due to the fact that it is $38 for what is essentially a sponge. After trying out some similar, cheaper products, I gave one of these a go and I have never looked back.

They are so easy to use and ensure that make up goes on smoothly and gives a perfect finish. The sponge is also good quality and doesn't show too much signs of wear after getting quite a bit of use over a couple of months.

Tips: Make sure to clean it well to keep it in good, hygienic condition and make it last a long time.

Thumbs up

I have only recently started to use a beauty blender but i love it so far. You get a airbrush finish no brush lines like you can get with brushes. I use mine to blend out my concealer/Highlighting and it blends it so nicely into my foundation. It also the perfect shape to get in and around the eyes. Great product!!

Part of my every day make up routine!

A friend of mine recommended using one of these to help blend my foundation perfectly and gosh I have loved her for it. Use it now as part of my everyday routine and have a sort of addiction to keeping it clean. I put my foundation sporadically over my face and then use the blender to blend it all together. I even use it to blend in my concealer. Love, love, love!

Tips: Wet the sponge before use, squeeze out excess water and towel dry. Use baby shampoo to clean it.
