How to Use a Beauty Sponge: Tips and Tricks
Ahh, the adored Beauty Sponge: Once you try one, you'll wonder how you ever lived without them. They are versatile in that they can be used wet or dry, and with creams, liquids, powders, and minerals.
How to use it:
- For powder products such as powder foundation, blush, bronzer or eyeshadow, use the dry sponge. Dab your sponge into the product, and then pat evenly onto your skin.
- For non-powder products such as liquid foundation or concealer, wet your sponge. Soak it underwater, and watch it double in size! Then, wring it out. Once it is damp, you can either place a bit of product on your hand or a clean surface and dip the sponge into it, or apply the product directly onto the sponge. Dab the product onto your skin. It is not recommended to drag or wipe the product across your face, creating a streaking effect. A gentle patting motion creates a seamless, airbrushed finish.
- Use the rounded part of the sponge for the larger surface areas of your face, such as your cheeks and forehead. Use the pointed part of the sponge for greater precision in those harder-to-reach areas such as around your eyes or around the nose.
- Clean your sponge by applying a dab of baby shampoo or gentle soap and running it under warm water. It is recommended to do this after each use to avoid the buildup of dirt and bacteria, keeping your skin clean. Wring it out and rest it on the drying stand provided in our Beauty Sponge Collection so that it can air dry.
