HOW TO CLEAN YOUR BEAUTY BLENDER
Use the brand’s Beautyblender Liquid Blendercleanser to kill bacteria and remove excess product from your sponge. Their special formula ensures the deepest and gentlest cleanse to keep your applicator in tip-top condition.
HOW TO APPLY FOUNDATION WITH A BEAUTY BLENDER
The best way to apply make up with a Beautyblender is by wetting it first. Dip it into water and then squeeze out all of the excess liquid. You’ll be left with a damp sponge, which expands as to not absorb your product. Then, either dot the foundation on your skin or on the sponge, and gently tap all over your face and neck. Keep bouncing into your skin until evenly covered and flawlessly finished.
HOW TO WET YOUR BEAUTY BLENDER
You can either pour water over the sponge or submerge it into clean water. Always squeeze out any excess water. You should be left with a damp sponge, with no water dripping out.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU CLEAN YOUR BEAUTY BLENDER?
Always rinse your Beautyblender after each use to ensure any excess product is removed. Clean it with your cleanser of choice at least once a week to banish any nasty bacteria and prevent breakouts.
