New York-based Makeup artist (MUA), Keita Moor suggests that when using a beauty blender, it is not necessary to press it too hard on the face. Just gently touch it to achieve a flawless and neat result.

“To blend makeup, you can use a tapping motion instead of dragging the sponge across your skin,” says Moor. 

Using a beauty blender will make the application of cream-textured makeup products more neat and natural. This is because some foundation, concealer, or cream blush will be absorbed into it.

How to Clean a Beauty Blender

Cleaning a sponge or beauty blender is very important to ensure that the application of makeup products is not contaminated by bacteria and does not cause acne or other skin problems. Moor suggests cleaning the beauty blender by soaking it in water mixed with a mild formula shampoo.

After that, rinse until no more foam remains. Dry the beauty blender with tissue and let it air dry. Make sure it is completely dry before storing.

Sometimes, Beauty Content Creators, like Felita Anthony, mention some makeup tools that are not very influential or needed when doing makeup. Here are the makeup tools that Felita thinks are not necessary to buy.

1. Heated Eyelash Curler

Heated eyelash curlers have been trending lately. The product claims to make eyelashes stay curled longer because they are heated when clamped, but Felita did not feel any benefits.

“Honestly, it doesn't have much effect on my eyes,” she said in an Instagram video.

She prefers to heat the inside of the eyelash curler using a lighter before using it to make her eyelashes stay curled longer.

2. Smallest Size Concealer Brush

A concealer brush that is very small actually makes it difficult to apply the product. Its shape is also not suitable for use as a lip brush, so it is a bit difficult to use.

3. Multifunctional Brush

Some brands that sell makeup brushes provide large and small multipurpose brushes. Small-sized multifunctional brushes are not always comfortable to use, especially if they have a different shape from the usual flat, blending, or angled brushes.

If they are not really needed, it is better to use regular brushes for applying makeup. Dream friends can also find brushes that are specifically used for each function to make them more comfortable to use.
