How to Use a Makeup Sponge

 

There are lots of beauty tools on the market. Sometimes so many that you feel overwhelmed with what to buy and how to use them! That’s great that there are lots of options to choose from, but you don’t really need all of them. But one tool that you do need is a makeup sponge. A beauty blender. A perfector sponge. Whatever they’re called, you need one. But there is definitely a right way and wrong way of using one. So here’s how to use a makeup sponge so you get that flawless look you’re going for!

 

What is a makeup sponge?

A makeup sponge is a funny looking tear drop sized sponge that is used to help blend your makeup. It’s a great invention that helps blend your makeup to give you a flawless face. But you can’t just use it as is. You have to prep the sponge first.

Makeup Sponge

Get it Wet

So, the first step when using a makeup sponge is to get it wet. Turn on your faucet and hold the sponge under the stream of water. Gently squeeze the makeup sponge in and out until it soaks up enough water that it’s just about double in size. Then you want to wring it out really good. Reeeeallly good. You don’t want to be using a sopping wet sponge on your face because then it will mess up your makeup! Make sure you squeeze out all the excess water. If you need to, you can use a towel to help you get it nice and dry. You still want it damp though.

Dab, Dab, Dab

Next, we dab! No, we’re not talking about the dance move. We’re talking about dabbing that moist makeup sponge on your face. Why would you do that?? Dabbing the sponge all over your face will allow it to remove the excess makeup and give you that flawless look. It helps blend the harsh lines and melt the look all together. Simply use the sponge in rolling motions on your face. Use gentle motions so you don’t take off all of your makeup.

 

And that’s it! That’s how you properly use a makeup sponge. It’s so easy to use and such an essential tool in your makeup kit.

Beauty Basics Blending 101

Welcome to Beauty Basics Blending! So far, we’ve learned how to apply highlight, contour, and blush and now you need to learn how to properly blend all of that color so you don’t look like a clown! I’m going to teach you some tips that will help you get a flawless look!

Perfector Sponge Method

If you want to use a sponge to blend your makeup, then you need to make sure it is completely ready before you start. What do I mean? If you use a dry sponge, you will not get the right blending look. First, you need to take your sponge and run it under water to soak it. Then you squeeze out the excess water. Your sponge should now look double in size. Now you are ready to properly blend with a sponge!
You want to take your sponge and lightly dab it over the area of color. The purpose is to remove the excess color, without wiping off too much. So do not use wiping motions but dabbing, stippling, and rolling motions. Work your way around your face dabbing and patting and blending in that product. It should just melt into your face and give you a nice and natural makeup look.

Brush Method

If you want to use a brush to blend, go for it! Just make sure to use a light hand so you don’t take off too much product. Simply place your brush on your skin and press and sweep off of your face. You’ll be working in a feathering motion to help blend the color. Make sure to be brush upward to give your face a lifting look, not a dragging down look.
I love the blending process! It’s the magic to the makeup look that gives you a flawless look! It takes some practice to perfect, but you can do anything! Keep at it until you’ve got it mastered!
