How to use a beauty blender

How to use a beauty blender. I visited a friend in the United States during the summer vacation!

My holidays are often locked up at home, so it's a pretty big trip for me!

Before the trip, my friend sent me an image saying, "Buy this!"

… And replied. Lol
 

When I listened to the story, it seemed to be a sponge to use when applying makeup.

It seems to be popular in the United States and has become a hot topic in Japan.

Speaking of a sponge for makeup, I imagine a flat sponge, and even if it was a three-dimensional thing, I only saw things that were cut in a straight line like a dish of vegetables, so it looks like a water drop like this I was really interested in the round shape!

In the meantime, I decided to buy it myself and went to the United States ★

What is a beauty blender? What is the color difference?

The shape-like object like the water drop mentioned earlier is a product called “beauty blender” .

It is a sponge used to extend the foundation when applying makeup.

It is an unusual form!

And cute ＾＾

What's more, this sponge is unique in that it can be used after it has been soaked in water !

Later, I will write how to use it in detail, but usually sponges do not get wet (・ Д ・) ノ

When I looked into what it was like,

it was a good word of mouth, so let's buy it! I decided.

However, if you want to buy it, there are many kinds available!

Lots of colors, even though they are the same!

What is the difference? ? ? In addition to these, there were various types such as black, beige, white and pink marbles. There are many things, but I'd like to check out some typical ones!

Originally, the pink color is the original product, and the different colors are beige.

This sponge is

・ Liquid foundation
・ Powder foundation
・ BB cream
・ Cream teak
・ Powder teak
・ Concealer

It is said that it can be used for basic skin makeup such as.

If you are not sure, the first is the original pink.

And if you are worried that the pink color looks dirty with the foundation color, you can definitely buy beige (nude).

I had purchased this black without any investigation, but it seems to be a kind of "pro".

The pink or beige original mentioned above is usually used, and this "Pro: Black" is a product that is suitable for wearing cosmetics with covering power to be applied for a long time .

It seems that the density is higher and the texture is different than the original sponge.

I don't usually use such high-coverage cosmetics, but I can use them normally.

The name "Pure" is perfect for the appearance that has had an impact so far.

This is more for skin care than for makeup .

・ Cosmetic base
・ Essence
・ Moisturizer
・ Eye cream
・ Facial cleansing foam

It seems to be suitable when used when attaching to the face.

Also, it is recommended for people with sensitive skin because it is uncolored.
 
There are many other types, but I think it's best to broadly divide and choose from these three types.As I wrote earlier, I went to the store without knowing that there were so many kinds of colors, so I bought a black "professional" without knowing it.

Perhaps I should have bought the original pink or beige for futu ...

But the usage is the same regardless of the color.

1. Moisturize (squeeze)

One of the characteristic uses of this sponge is that the sponge is first moisturized.

When wet, the sponge swells at once.

sponge remains about 1.5 times as big as the water .

After that, I will extend the foundation and so on, so it is not good if the sponge is Bichobicho, so please squeeze it properly.

It seems like you can wrap it with a towel.
　
 

2. Make up (stretch with a sponge)

After putting Jeong, Jeong and liquid foundation or BB cream on the face, spread it with this sponge.

Instead of sliding it to the side, stretch the pom pom with the feeling of pressing the stamp lightly.

At this time, make use of the shape of the water drop type, use the bottom of the cheek etc. with a large area,

Use the tip of the nose, eyes, etc. properly.

3. Remove sponge dirt (wash)

This sponge gets wet first, so it's natural to wash it afterwards.

Dedicated cleansers are also sold to remove cosmetics left on the sponge .
 
It seems like ↓ ↓ ↓ It can be applied to a sponge, lather and rinse with water.
 

 

I didn't buy this cleanser, so I washed it with my makeup remover.

Anyway, if you remove the dirt and keep it clean, you don't have to use a special cleanser.

4, dry

Because the sponge is inflated, it has a size that does not fit in the original case. Lol

But this case can be used as a stand for drying!

Recently, it took about 2 days to return to the original size (the size that fits in the case) because of the rain and the humidity being high recently, but it is good to know if it is dry in size ＾＾

If left unchecked, it would dry and fit into the case. Lol
 

What was your impression of using it?

I'd like to make a note of the personal impressions I actually used.

I usually extend my liquid foundation with my fingers.

It's quite a hassle, so it's a good idea to just stretch your fingers and finally wash your hands without using a sponge or brush that needs to be cleaned.

However, I was worried about this unusual sponge called Beauty Blender, so I tried using it.

The sponge that was wet and squeezed was moderately moist, and the skin felt moist .

And because this sponge is round and quite elastic, there is no possibility that it will slide sideways if it is a normal flat sponge, it will not be messed up, and you can extend the foundation evenly with pompoms ＾＾

By the way, I used it for powder cheeks, but I was able to use it moderately even with powder ★

I usually stretch my fingers, so that's a lot better than usual and I'm satisfied!
 
However!
 
After all, the washing process is troublesome (・ Д ・) ノ

Since I don't have a special cleanser, I applied my own makeup remover gel and dropped the foundation on the sponge.

However, it didn't fall easily, so I thought it would be a little difficult to do this every morning .

So, in my case, I usually make up with Zrubora with my fingers as before,

When going out on holidays or meeting people, I thought I would make this beauty blender. Lol

Actually, the usability is very good and satisfying, so the question is how much time can be spent on management.

I want to enjoy it like that.

Is it cheaper to buy in the US?

How did you know this item, from a friend "If you go to America, buy! Come this" was because I said to.

As I was told, when I showed the image of this product to a clerk at the cosmetics section of a US shopping mall,

"Oh, beauty blender!"

With that feeling, he immediately showed me to the sales floor.

I was really surprised, but I promised , "I will buy it!" And I have found the product safely, so I have to buy it.

And I was pretty worried, so I bought my own.

I don't usually use that much for makeup, but why
don't you spend 4,000 yen on a sponge? (・ Д ・) ノ

But I guess it would be more expensive if I bought it in Japan ...

So, after returning home, I checked it online.
