How to Use a Makeup Sponge



I have to say I am still new to using a blender. I still use my hands and a brush. But ,it’s a game changer for makeup application and makes blending a breeze. It’s likely you already have one (or a few!) hanging out on your vanity, but you might still be a little unclear about how best to use a makeup sponge — that’s where I come in. Ahead, we’re giving you a crash course.

How to Use a Makeup Sponge

STEP 1: Wet the Sponge

Before you begin your makeup application, wet the sponge until it’s completely saturated and squeeze out any excess water. This step will allow the product to seamlessly melt into your skin for a natural-looking finish with a subtle sheen.  

STEP 2: Apply Product

Pour a small amount of liquid foundation onto the back of your hand, dip the rounded end of your sponge into the makeup and begin applying it on your face. Do not rub or drag the sponge across your skin. Instead, gently dab or blot the area until your foundation is completely blended. Use the same dabbing technique when applying concealer underneath your eyes and cream blush to your cheeks. You can also use your sponge for blending cream contour products and liquid highlighter. 

How to Choose a Makeup Sponge

The size and shape of a makeup sponge varies depending on what they're being used for. Larger, rounded sponges, like the NYX Professional Makeup Flawless Finish Blending Sponge, are used for the application of your base makeup such as foundation. Angled sponges, like the Sephora Angled Sponge or L’Oréal Paris Infallible Makeup Sponge,  are good for contouring your face and smaller sponges, like the Real Techniques Mini Complexion Sponges, offer a more precise application for the under-eye area. They’re also great for concealing blemishes. 

I am still getting use to it. But I do have to say not all foundations in my opinion work well with the blender. So it is for you to practice with your foundations. Because If you are like me you have a few. Get blending!!

How Air Pollution Is Damaging Your Health

Image
Exposure to air pollution is associated with numerous effects on human health, including pulmonary, cardiac, vascular, and neurological impairments. The health effects vary greatly from person to person. High-risk groups such as the elderly, infants, pregnant women, and sufferers from chronic heart and lung diseases are more susceptible to air pollution. Children are at greater risk because they are generally more active outdoors and their lungs are still developing.
