Why decided to buy?
I have the combined skin and around the T-zone is always available reddenings. Sometimes they it is more, sometimes it is less, but as skin in itself very light, such reddenings are always noticeable. Of course, they very much irritate me because only good VV can hide them cream or tone means, but it is necessary to try very strongly. And I always feel dense putting cream on the face. And the person looks somehow unnaturally. Here I was also come to the rescue by the magic Beautyblender sponge. Now even with an easy fluid my reddenings are imperceptible.
Bought it in the BRITIES online store which is fallen in love by me, and now I will tell about a wonderful sponge in more detail.
Packing, appearance, color
Packing - plastic, transparent about 6*5*5 cm in size with a removable cover. The sponge has teardrop shape.
Manufacturing country - USA.
I ordered a sponge of red Beautyblender red color. carpet. On the website also other colors of the limited collections, such as black, white, pink and violet are presented. The last color very much imposes me so the following Beautyblender will be the sustained violet color.
As to use it
In a case with a sponge the small, but evident instruction for application lies. I will describe it, and on the course of consideration I will add the comments and impressions of its use.
1. Remove a sponge from a case (oh, these Americans, they need literally to describe everything).
2. Lower in water, then well wring out it. Personally I do not lower in water, and I keep under a stream of warm water, at the same time several times I squeeze and I unclench it that it was completely filled with moisture. The damp sponge is almost twice more than the initial sizes. On a photo it can be considered visually.

3. Dry a towel a little. Beautyblender is ready to use. It is possible to dry also a usual dense napkin if there is no towel near at hand. The sponge should not be wet, namely damp. Than it is more damp, more thinly it puts a layer to those. So it is easily possible most to control density of drawing tone means sponge extraction degree.
4. Dip a byyutiblender into the favourite means for a make-up.
5. Now we apply on a sponge foundation, a fluid or a basis under a make-up and here miracles begin. Cream lays down on the person exactly as if a veil or as the weightless covering, does not leave any lines, strips, spots. It is necessary to apply to skin kind of the "springing" driving-in movements thanks to which tone means is evenly distributed on a face. I admit honestly, I watched not one video on YouTube how it is correct to use a sponge before I completely mastered technology of drawing. The round basis of a sponge it is good to shade tone means on the main sites - a chin, cheekbones, a forehead. It is good to cause with the pointed end tone in "remote" places - around eyes and nose wings.
Tried to show result of use of a sponge on a hand. On the first photo a hand before putting BB cream.

6. In the instruction it is simply specified: air drying of a sponge on case top.
And labor-intensive process of washing is delicately omitted. Business this difficult. The sponge is very fragile and it is necessary to wash it extremely accurately and at once after use. I would advise to get special means for cleaning of a sponge (gel or soap) because usual soap even if children's, washes it not completely and very long.
My verdict
Perhaps, the main lack of this sponge is its rather big price. But on the constant statements of some women that the Chinese sponges differ in nothing from the original, always I answer one: did not buy the Chinese sponges and I will not buy. I found the formula of ideal skin and I am not going to change it!
