You must know how to use a makeup blender properly so that you can take your makeup to the next level. Primarily makeup sponges were used to apply the foundation but now many makeup artists say that you can use the sponges to do your whole makeup. For years makeup blenders have been misused because many people didn’t know how to use them properly. Here is a guide that can help you to understand the beauty sponge properly.

Beauty Sponge A Blending Tool For Foundation

There is no doubt with a beauty sponge you can apply your foundation flawlessly. Here are some tips that can help you to do that.

1. No matter what type of foundation you are going to use you still need to prepare your skin to apply the makeup. First, you have to cleanse your face so that there is no dirt and the extra oil on your skin. Now apply a good moisturizer on your face so there is a layer between the foundation and your skin. After applying the moisturizer you must wait for a few seconds and then apply the primer you usually use.
2. You must remember this step as most people forget to soak their beauty blender. You must use a makeup sponge when it is damp to apply the foundation. The reason is that moisture makes the sponge soft, flexible, and big. Put the sponge under water to make it wet and then squeeze it to remove the excess water. Make sure that the sponge is only damp and not soaking wet.
3. Now take your favorite foundation and put it on the back of your hand. Take a small amount of the foundation on the sponge and apply it to your face by dabbing the sponge on your face. First, apply the foundation to the centre of your face then move outwards so that you get the proper coverage in important areas. This technique of applying foundation will give it a more natural look.
4. After applying the foundation take a look at your face and check if any area needs more attention or not. If you see the coverage is not even then you can use your natural sea sponge for the faceto make it perfect.
