Using the best beauty tool—the beauty blender—the right way!

At Velvet Vista Beauty, we sell the best bio-friendly beauty blenders with different shapes want you to have a little guide on how to incorporate those into your daily routine.

So, now, you don’t have to worry about not knowing how to use a beauty blender anymore because we’re here to help!

Common Beauty Blender Shapes:

The most common shape of the beauty blender is the teardrop—which is a classic! However, the purpose of different shapes is the several types of applications, whether they are delicate or broad. Most beginners often go for the classic shape as it fulfils all requirements, but more detailed work may require the other shapes which include:

• Diamond

• Pointed-Edged

• Small Teardrop

• Flat-Edged

• Contour Shaped

• Custom Shaped

Are all Beauty Blender the Same Size?

While the most makeup artists opt for the classic size, some beauty blender are smaller—hence they are known as mini beauty sponges. These mini versions are used for more delicate and smaller areas like under the eyes and around the lips. But that’s not all, some beauty blenders are larher than the original as well. Below are the various blender sizes:

• Standard Size: Approximately 2 inches tall.
• Mini Size: Approximately 1 inch tall.
• Micro Mini Size: Typically less than 1 inch.
• Large Size: Larger than the standard, around 3 inches tall
• Body Blender: It is used for body application and is flatter and larger than the standard.

Incorporating a Beauty Blender into Your Routine:

If you want your makeup to not turn out cakey even in the camera lens. Here’s how you can use a beauty blender for different products:

Foundation Application

To apply liquid foundation smoothly, dampen the sponge with water. Apply foundation in the form of dots on your skin then use the rounded base of the blender in a bouncing motion to blend it. Build coverage slowly and shift to the pointed tip when working on delicate areas such as under the eyes.

Concealer Application

Applying concealer requires precision as it is applied to delicate areas such as under the eyes, around the nose, corners of the lips, or blemishes. For this purpose, use a teardrop blender with a pointed edge or a micro mini blender.

Setting Powder Application

To apply setting powder, use a dry sponge. Dab a flat-edged or a diamond-shaped sponge directly into the powder then apply it on your face. Let the powder set for a few minutes then dust off the excess with a makeup sponge or a brush.

Contouring and Highlighting

For precise contouring and highlighting, use a contour-shaped beauty blender which is used for both precise application and seamless blending. Use the pointed edge of the spender to apply a highlighter to the high points of your face to achieve that radiant glow.

Is Density an Important Factor to Consider? 

Washing a low-quality foundation sponge is like trying to clean sticky mess that refuses to let go. How to avoid this? Pore density. Too many pores, and your sponge turns into a product-hoarder and traps makeup product until it becomes a huge ball of gunk. Too few, and you’re left with a rough, scratchy texture that’s more sandpaper than sponge. Aim for that sweet spot with a balanced pore density for a smoother look.

FINAL VERDICT:

The beauty blender is more than just a tool if used the right way. With the variety of shapes and sizes available, you can target every area of your face precisely, ensuring that your foundation, concealer, setting powder, and contouring products blend seamlessly into your skin without leavy lines or streaks behind.
