How To Use A Makeup Sponge Properly?

Jan. 01, 1970

Whether you're a fashionista, a makeup artist, a fan of minimalist style, or an occasional makeup artist, makeup blending sponges are the ace in your makeup kit. Over the years, beauty product designers and manufacturers have introduced different shapes of makeup sponges, including pear-shaped, triangular and egg-shaped sponges.


The different sponges come in handy when you need to remove unsightly smudges or when you want to even out your SPF. That said, you will need to follow proper handling and usage tips to make the most of your makeup tools. To help, this blog discusses some of these guidelines. Take a look.

 

1. Wet/dry sponges needed before use

Make sure you wet the makeup blending sponge before each use, especially when using liquid makeup, such as foundation, to ensure even application. Squeeze out excess water with a dry tissue. In other words, always dry the sponge before use to make sure it is free of any moisture.

2. Clean the makeup sponge after each use

When you use a makeup sponge, dead skin particles, oil and dirt particles can stick to it, increasing the risk of skin breakdown and infection. Cleaning the sponge once a week is not enough; the user must perform the task after each use without fail. To remove protruding and tiny dirt particles, rinse the sponge under running water, dry it with a soft paper towel, and then cleanse the body with olive oil and a mild soap. Make sure the sponge does not retain any water before storing it.

 

3. Give your sponge multiple uses

Egg-shaped makeup sponges and other modern models are designed to serve a range of purposes that extend far beyond makeup and foundation. You can use makeup tools to evenly apply skin care products such as moisturizers, SPF and serums. Makeup sponges have soft edges that are ideal for use on delicate areas such as under the eyes.

4. Rubbing does not produce the desired result

Rubbing a makeup sponge on the skin not only does not produce the desired results, but it also shortens the life of the makeup tool. To avoid this problem, experts recommend that users follow what is commonly known as the "dabbing" technique. To use this method, users must clean the sponge thoroughly in warm water and gently bounce it along the skin after making sure there is no moisture. The surface is pressed to deposit makeup for a natural look. This method helps to get more coverage with less product and helps you avoid waste.

5. Store makeup sponges in environmental conditions

Avoid storing makeup sponges in self-sealing bags, as the lack of sunlight and air can create environmental conditions for the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms.

 

6. Eliminate old makeup sponges regularly

Makeup sponges have a shelf life and once they have completed their life cycle, they will not play any role, even if you have taken all the necessary precautions when using, cleaning and storing them. The average product has a lifespan of three months, after which it will begin to tear and lose color, making it difficult for you to ensure even application.

 

Following these tips will help you make the most of your makeup sponges. It is also recommended that you understand the instructions for use before knowing anything about the product. To learn more about our products and expertise, please contact us.
