Beautyblender: Sur.face Pro and Micro.mini + Makeup Hacks.

/

I am all about my Beautyblender sponge. It is one of my very favorite makeup tools ever. I use the Beautyblender every single day that I use makeup to apply my foundation for a flawless finish. It is one of those items I see professional makeup artists use on celebrities and backstage at New York Fashion Week all the time. The fine folks behind the Beautyblender have recently launched two new products that I am equally excited about because I am using them just as often now too; the new Beautyblender Sur.face Pro and Beautyblender Micro.mini.

You have read here about my love for the Beautyblender sponge. I cannot live without my little pink sponge.  Since I have started using it, it is the only way that I apply my concealer and foundation. It really gives me the most flawless look that I love. Now that there is a new sponge from Beautyblender made for applying skin care products called Beautyblender Pure, I plan on changing up the way I apply my skincare now too.

Beautyblender Pure utilizes the same innovative shape, texture and material of the famed beautyblender makeup sponge, but strips it to its core. This makes it the perfect tool for prepping skin before moving on to makeup application. 

Pure is designed to be used with moisturizers, eye treatment serums and lotions, makeup primers and makeup removers to be a truly hygienic, gentle way to ensure optimal use of the most advanced skin care products. I love the way it helps me apply my skincare products without having to use my hands. It actually is a much more clean method of applying, and I swear I use less of the products.

The best way to buy the Beautyblender Pure is to purchase the Pure Kit ($49.95).

Included in the Pure Kit is the new solid cleanser. This travel friendly alternative to the original liquid blendercleanser provides the same cleansing results and the soothing lavender fragrance for your beautyblender applicators and make up brushes. It works great and is much easier to travel with.

The Beautyblender - It Will Change the Way You Put on Your Face.

I have seen this Beautyblender sponge around for a year or so now, and I even balked at the price and the promise of a flawless look. But once I tried it, I have not looked back and will not flinch when needing to buy another.

This super cute pink sponge makes application of foundation and concealer totally even, while covering skin and making it appear almost flawless. When bouncing, yes BOUNCING, or in makeup terms, stippling the Beautyblender Sponge over the face, an air-brush finish will be achieved. No lines, no streaks, no tell-tale sign of demarcation. Just a beautiful finish.

To use, I first dampen the sponge by spraying a squirt of water to it. I then apply my foundation to the back of my hand and dip the large round bottom of the sponge in it and bounce it over my face. I bounce a bit more where I need more coverage and continue to bounce and adjust the pressure as needed all around my face. I use the smaller slightly pointed end to apply concealer under and around my eyes.

Caring for the Beautyblender Sponge is simple with it's Blendercleanser, an environmentally friendly cleansing solution. I highly recommending buying the Beautyblender Sponge and Blendercleanser together to maximze the life of the sponge. The set is well worth the $34.95, as the sponge alone is $19.95.

The Beautyblender is available at beautyblender.net as well as Sephora stores and Sephora.com.
