We couldn’t do B without mentioning our favourite makeup sponge that has revolutionised makeup application.  The beauty blender is our holy grail and the brand’s best-seller for its ability to get a flawless base.

WHAT IS IT?

The elliptical shaped sponge is made from a super soft material to guarantee streak free and more uniform blending.  It works well with all brands of foundations, bb creams, cc creams, concealers, highlighters, blushes, moisturisers, serums and powders…so basically everything.

HOW TO USE IT

The sponge is designed to be used damp so hold the blender under water and squeeze out the excess. This is when you’ll see the blender get bigger, softer and bouncier. Dot the makeup on your face and stipple the blender onto your skin for a flawless finish.

Since releasing the original pink version, the brand has extended its range with micro blenders targeting smaller areas and a black pro version which is recommended for use with higher coverage products.

IS IT WORTH IT?

The beauty blender retails for £16 which is a higher price point for a sponge like this BUT the finish you get and the number of brushes you can save on really does make it worth it. As many dupes as there are, we find nothing compares to our beloved beauty blender.
