As we entered the 21st century, makeup blenders were quite disfavored. Their rectangular shape made it a strenuous job to apply the makeup around your nose and eyes.
In 2004, the infamous makeup artist Rea Ann Silva brought about a revolution in the makeup industry by introducing the egg-shaped makeup blender sponge. It navigated effortlessly around the unique shape of our faces.
Since then, from sexiest flesh-wearing bikini models, all the way up to Hollywood’s beauty queens, makeup blenders have been a chief tool in every glamour girl’s beauty routine.
So, if you haven’t already laid your hands on one, we suggest to grab one immediately. But before using this magical beauty tool for the very first time, it is necessary to educate you regarding the mistakes and mishaps to avoid, so you may make the most out of your hard-earned 10 bucks.
Make sure you avoid these 5 blunders while choosing a makeup blender:
1. You Aren’t Using an Antibacterial Makeup Blender: To avoid bacterial skin infections like cellulitis and impetigo, It’s of utmost importance that your makeup blender is antibacterial.
2. You Don’t Wet Your Makeup Blender: Using it dry absorbs the applied product back into the blender instead of sticking it to your face.
3. You Are Prolonging its Usage: Even if used correctly, a makeup blender does absorb some of the materials applied to it, its original color starts shading away after a while and it might feel a little rough to use, or even fall apart. A makeup blender needs to be changed ideally after a month if you are using it on a regular basis.
4. You Aren’t Applying It Gently: A makeup blender is very delicate. Don’t tear it apart with rough usage!
5. You Don’t Clean It Often: It would be ideal to rinse the makeup blender after every use. Due to the highly absorptive features, It’s far more delicate than your regular brushes.
