In the article we will talk about what a beauty blender is, where the original product is made and how to use a beauty blender for the face. And also consider the varieties of the product and recommendations for caring for it.
Product Description
A “cosmetic testicle” or sponge is made in the form of a drop. The country of origin of the original is USA. The material of manufacture is hypoallergen, which does not cause when using allergies.
It is important that the sponge does not contain latex. Using the product you can:
- To apply a basis.
- Use it as a corrector.
- Apply as a blush.
- Create creamy shadows.
This is not a complete list of the features of the product in question. It is important not to confuse the original products, which are expensive, with other sponges made in the form of a drop or an “egg”. Unfortunately, they do not have the effect of the original.
About cosmetic product variations
There are several types of “cosmetic testicle” on sale, they differ in color:
- pink
- black
- white
- green.
We briefly consider each of the options and determine the purpose and features.
- Beauty pink
According to cosmetologists and user reviews, this is the most popular option, which in all respects is suitable for everyday home use. With its help, a layer of medium-density foundation is applied.
- Black color
According to experts, this is a professional option. It is most likely not suitable for use at home. The texture of the black “cosmetic testicle” is dense. Consequently, the applied tonal agent will lie on the skin in a dense layer.
- Beauty White
Unlike the previous version, its texture is soft, which allows you to apply a tone in an even layer. Ideally aggregates with BB creams. But if the skin has pronounced flaws, then this product with a “disguise" is unlikely to cope.
- Green product
Its difference from the original is a four times reduced copy. The structure is delicate and porous. This model distributes cosmetics well in the corners of the eyes and in the area of the superciliary arches.
How to use a beauty blender: instructions
There are certain rules for using beauty, with which you can achieve amazing results and mask skin imperfections. To do this, follow the sequence of actions:
- To wet.
- Wring out.
- Apply.
- Rinse.
We will consider each step separately.
First of all, it is necessary to thoroughly wet the sponge. For this we use warm water. Be patient as the water does not absorb instantly!
Important: the more water it absorbs, the softer it will be.
As a result, the cream will need less, and this will allow you to apply a perfectly even and thin layer of cosmetic products. When applying cosmetics, the skin is moisturized.
- Wring out
Having squeezed a product in a hand, it is necessary to squeeze it accurately. Owners of long nails are recommended to perform this procedure by wrapping a cosmetic “egg” in a towel. The product is delicate and it is important to protect it from damage.
Remember: the product is delicate and “moody”.
What gives spin? With it, the amount of tone used (density) is adjusted. A denser layer is applied with a drier sponge, and vice versa.It is necessary to follow the spin procedure. Having squeezed a cosmetic product and having opened it, it should increase in size by about 1.5-2 times.
- About the application procedure
After spinning, the time comes for the main procedure. The rules of application say: on the back of the palm you need to squeeze a small amount of foundation. Next, dip a “testicle” in it and, soaking, apply cosmetics on the face with vibrating smooth movements.
Be careful and remember where the tip of the beauty blender should be in the process.
The pointed part of the structure is designed to work:
- In the eye area.
- The mouth.
- Around the nose.
The pointed part is convenient to work and adjust makeup, apply shadows.
The round side of the product is most suitable for tonal distribution:
- On the forehead.
- On the chin.
- In the neck.
- In the neckline.
The round side is preferably applied blush.
If it is necessary to remove excess cosmetic products, blot the problem areas with the clean side of the “cosmetic testicle”.
- About flushing
After each use, the testicle should be washed. This is a non-negotiable procedure. Subject to the above rule, there will be no need to deal with acne and other problems. In a word, hygiene comes first.
How to care for the product
In order to provide quality care, special detergents are used. Beauticians and specialists recommend using the means of the manufacturer. The composition of the products includes natural components with a pleasant smell, with a minimum dosage. They are produced in two variations:
- as a gel;
- solid soap.
Speaking about the excellent work of care products, it is necessary to note their high cost. It is practically on par with the sponge. You can take care of beauty and other means: ordinary gel or antibacterial soap.
Expert Advice
The procedure for washing a beauty blender is as follows:
- Rinse off the cosmetic under running warm water.
- In the process of washing, it is necessary to compress and expand the “cosmetic testicle”. The procedure, which should be done several times, can take from one to three minutes.
- The sponge should be wrung out using a towel.
- To dry.
Perhaps, at the initial stage, the “cosmetic testicle” after the initial drying will slightly decrease in size - fearlessly. After a short period of time, it will again take its original form and restore its shape.
For the best quality product treatment, a few drops of olive oil can be added to the cleansing composition. The drying process should take place in vivo. To use for this different heating objects, including a hairdryer, batteries, is unacceptable. This will negatively affect the structure of the cosmetic accessory.
