When I first started out with makeup and stumbled across the Original Beautyblender, I was shocked. I couldn't justify spending $38 on a sponge, I then heard more and more people rave about it and I just had to see what the fuss was about. It arrived and i was shocked at how small it was, i then wet it and squeezed until damp. I applied my foundation with it and from that moment I will never look back. It leaves my foundation looking absolutely flawless! I have no idea how it is so much better than any other sponge I have tried but it is! I can't even remember the last time I used a brush to apply my foundation. I find when I use it damp it doesn't soak up too much product but still soaks up just enough to keep your foundation/concealer non-cakey. 10/10 Recommend.

Tips: Definitely works a lot better when damp!
I was wary about spending this much money on a sponge and I put it off for a long time. I finally took the plunge and I'm so glad I did, it has changed the way I do my makeup completely. It gives such a nice full coverage and I find I don't waste nearly as much product. It pushes the product into your skin rather than swirling it around your face. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it for under-eye concealer - it's such a better finish than any brush I've ever used and the shape of it gets right into the corners. It's easy to use and easy to clean. LOVE IT!
Tips: Make sure you're using it damp!
Love this to apply any foundation, deffiantly works well as i do prefer medium to full coverage but even if i want light coverage it works for that to! Will always grab for one of my beauty blenders before anything else.
Honestly, I try to tell people how amazing the beauty blender is and I always get the response of '' but it's a just a sponge. "
Hell no is not just a sponge. I use it dry for powder and wet for foundation. I have super dry skin so I prefer not to over stimulate my skin and the beauty blender is so gentle on my face. I own two and the first one has lasted me a year so far and is still going strong.
My make-up never cakes up and whenever it does I just bring my beauty blender out to fix it. Even if its in the middle of the day.
Tips: Make sure you clean your BB with dish washing liquid because it disinfects and cleans the product out.
Don't leave your BB in damp areas or it will gather mold.
If you want to dry your BB quicker just use a dry fresh towel/face cloth.
its very soft gives a air brushed effect very pricey but worth the money its an awsome product so really do reccomend you get it dupes arnt as good as it was
Honestly i dont no where i would be without my beautyblender i love it so much, it blends my makeup perfectly with no patched or streaks as well as making my skin not appear "cakey" only negative is that i need to use slightly more foundation as it absorbs it being a sponge
Seeing the price definitely put me off for a long time but after everyone kept raving about it I had to get one......... and I have never looked back l!!!! Makes your foundation glide on, you can get concealer right into those little corners. It's a godsend or people who have struggled to perfect there foundation.
I have been through a crazy amount of sponges, even resorting to buying off eBay to find the perfect sponge! Unfortunately for me, everyone I purchased off there, were too hard. Even wetting them before use didn't make much of a difference either. I was still struggling to find the perfect sponge!
Okay, so looking at the price, I knew I wasn't ever going to be able to afford one of these. Thankfully my sister bought me one of these from over seas!
The texture of this sponge is great. It is soft, making it easy to apply and blend make up perfectly. I always wet the sponge before use, because I find it blends your make up better, and it makes it a lot easier to clean make up off after wards. The rain-drop shape makes it perfect to use under your eyes as well, I find this really helpful when blending concealer underneath the eye area.
Because the sponge is soft, it makes it easy to perfectly blend make up. For me, in the past, I have struggled constantly to find something that works well enough to leave my face looking flawless and not cakey.
Yes the price is a bit high, but after receiving this for free, I know thay the money will be well spent. I have only so far washed it 3 times since I have used it and it is still in perfect condition!
Whether or not you are someone who invests in their make-up brushes or not, or even if you use your hands to apply your make up, I guarantee that once you try the beauty blender you will wonder what you did before it.
I use the round end to apply my foundation, I put the foundation straight into the sponge and dab it onto my skin until blended evenly. I then apply my concealer/highlighter with a brush and use the pointed end of the sponge to blend it in.
The finish I achieve is so flawless, and because I am dabbing with the sponge it sucks away any excess product and avoids brush strokes.
The sponge is very soft with almost a rubbery feel to it, when damp it becomes a lot more 'squishy'. It's best to use it when it's damp as it stops it absorbing too much make-up.
Tips: Use warm water and a little liquid soap to clean your beauty blender and once a month sit in a bowl, cover with boiling water and put in the microwave for a couple of minutes to kill any germs
This is the real deal! For a long and tiresome time, I was using a brush and getting uneven results, a streaky face that i was constantly having to correct with a finishing powder. But not anymore! It applies effortlessly and leaves you looking flawless, I will never return to brushes.
Tips: Cleaning after every use, is a must! You can wet the sponge to create a more subtle look, which I love!
