When i first got into makeup and loved looking at different products and tools to use i heard about a Celebrity Makeup artist who would always use an Original Beauty Blender and Ben Nye Banana Powder to create flawless looks. This artist is super talented and has done makeup for both Kim Kardashian and Lilly Ghalichi.
Mario Dedivanovic is practically the artist who put The beauty blender and Ben Nye powders on the map!
A beauty blender is a an adaptation of a makeup sponge in the shape of a sphere. It is a makeup tool that is used to apply almost all makeup mediums such as: concealer, foundation, primer, powder’s and basically any product of a creamy consistency. When used correctly a Blender is the best makeup tool to have in your makeup kit.
The trick to a beauty blender is to use it when damp or slightly wet, by running your blender under the water for a good 30 seconds and squeezing out any excess water. I love using a Beauty Blender to blend creamy concealers when Highlighting & Contouring or when i am applying Foundation.
It gives a flawless finish that looks almost Photoshopped because of the way the product has been applied through a stippling technique that can only be achieved by this product.
Most people believe that a Beauty Blender sponge is expensive for the price tag of $35 but i truly believe that it is worth it. When i purchased my Beauty Blender i got it from IMATS Sydney for a low price of $25 and that included two in a pack which is very affordable.
The only down side is that most makeup and beauty stores do not sell The Beauty Blender and it could end up getting pricey with shipping & taxes. So, if you can hold out to go to makeup conventions once a year and stock up on products that you love than that is definitely one way to go to save some money when purchasing pricier products.
If you would like to purchase this product ‘Camera Ready Cosmetics’ carries the entire range and pricing is reasonable as it is in AUD pricing and approx. $35.71 click the link to get directed to the website where you can purchase one- http://camerareadycosmetics.com/categories/shop-brands/beautyblender.html
My other Favorite Product is the Ben Nye Banana Powder. I love to use this product to highlight underneath my eyes and sides of my jawline to accentuate areas of my face and to bring some color and warmth back into the face. This powder is an ideal option instead of heavy foundation powders that give a cakey affect.
One of the reasons why i recommend this product is because this powder is also great on dry prone skin which i have and find it hard to use powder foundations to set my face. If you have dry skin then this product is one to test out. Product retails for $24.68 on www.camerareadycosmetics.com
