If you’ve got a Perfect Blender in your kit, chances are you’re already using it to apply foundation. But this soft, bouncy tool does more than just blend your base—it can quietly upgrade almost every part of your routine.
Here are five smart ways to make the most of it:
1. Concealer blending (without streaks)
Dab your concealer where you need it, then use the pointed tip of your blender to press and roll the product into the skin. It helps diffuse the edges seamlessly—especially under the eyes and around the nose.
2. Smoothing out cream blush
Cream blush can sometimes go patchy if you’re applying with fingers. Tap it in with the round side of your blender to soften the pigment and create a natural, lit-from-within flush. Pair with a light base like the Glow Compact Foundation for a fresh, skin-first look.
3. Fixing foundation overload
Used a little too much product? Lightly dampen your blender and bounce it over the area. It’ll lift off excess without disturbing your base. This trick works beautifully with the Matte Compact Foundation for smoothing out coverage without going cakey.
4. Blotting without powder
In a pinch, your sponge can act like a mattifying tool. Press a clean, dry blender onto shiny areas to absorb oil and keep your makeup looking fresh—no powder required.
5. Setting with a soft-focus finish
Want your Perfect Stay Finishing Powder to melt into your base? Dip the blender in a little powder and press it into your T-zone. It gives you a smooth, long-lasting finish without dulling your glow.
Keeping your blender clean (and slightly damp) will help it perform at its best. And when you’ve got the hang of these tricks, you might just wonder how you ever did your makeup without it.
