Beautyblenders are an invaluable tool in my beauty routine. They are perfect to help apply and blend liquid, cream-to-powder, and stick / cream foundations.

I have the Original, the Pro, and several of the mini sizes for concealer, color-correctors, highlighting and contour. The minis work so well on smaller areas!

The blenders are essential for my GenX skin to keep foundation from settling and pooling into fine lines and wrinkles. The effect is almost airbrushed.

I also have – and love – the Beautyblender Blender Defender Protective Case. The case is perfect for storage and travel to keep your blender nice and dry and protect it from germs. The ventilation allows the sponges to dry properly. The case is shatterproof and flexible and can hold up to two damp Beautyblenders.

Beautyblenders are latex-free and water activated. [link: Influenster]
