Handcrafted in the USA with eco-friendly dyes, it’s versatile for all complexion products and a must-have for millennials seeking effortless, Instagram-worthy makeup results. ## Description Product Description What it does: The unique edgeless shape and exclusive material available only with beautyblender ensures impeccable, streak-free application with minimum product waste. Use with foundations, powders and any other complexion product. What else you need to know: Beautyblender features an open cell structure that fills with small amounts of water when wet. This allows the sponge to be β€œfull” so that the makeup product sits on top of the sponge rather than being absorbed, allowing you to use less product every time. When wet, beautyblender doubles in size and becomes even softer, returning to its original size when it air dries. Handcrafted in the USA. Beautyblender has chosen to use safe, water-soluble dyes that do not harm the environment and will maintain the integrity of their proprietary foam. For this reason, you may notice some color run off or wash away the first time you wet beautyblender. This is normal and will disappear after you have cleansed the product several times. Please note: the color will not transfer onto the face or clothing. This product is a six time Allure Best of Beauty award winner. Directions Wet the beautyblender with water, squeeze out the excess liquid, then bounce primer, foundation, powder, cream blush or any other complexion product across the face for flawless results. Review: Brilliant! I am converted! - I had to try this out after hearing so many brilliant things about it. The product arrived quickly, I was pleased with the service. On opening the packaging the beauty blender and its little tub (the packaging) did look a little smaller than I expected, I measured the tub at approximately 5.5cm tall, 4.5cm diameter. First impressions were still good though, it is so soft and bouncy, so much more 'spring' in it than other sponge-type applicators I have used previously. I ran the BB under the tap and started to squeeze and as if by magic it grew! My saturated BB measures approximately 7cm tall and 5cm diameter. So it has outgrown it's little tub but the packaging can be used as a little stand to air dry the BB. It is still super spongey and springy, applied my foundation, concealer and powder flawlessly, great airbrush finish. It is fantastic! I'm definitely converted. In love. Will definitely repurchase when the time comes! I am under the impression that people who have complained about the size of this product HAVE NOT saturated the BB, as it does grow considerably when run under water as the instructions suggest. Also, just to add, I have used the BB with a spray of Mac Fix+ to keep that dewy look with my more matte foundations/concealers and it's worked just perfectly! Review: Alright as a one-time purchase, but I don't think I'll be buying again. Here is why - I've been using the BeautyBlender for about two months now, as I wanted to be able to comment on its many uses. Starting with USING IT FOR APPLYING LIQUID FOUNDATION - it gives a beautiful, airbrushed look. However, the max you can get is a medium coverage and a downside is that the BeautyBlender absorbs A LOT of product. This can be especially annoying if you use high-end makeup. I'd say, on average, when I apply my foundation with a stippling or a kabuki brush, I need about three squirts of product. When I am using the BeautyBlender I need about four squirts to achieve the same medium coverage look. In terms of BLENDING OUT (UNDER-EYE) CONCEALER - it's a superb tool. I love how deep into the skin the BeautyBlender is able to get the concealer. I have found no other product that can apply my concealer with a smooth finish as well as the BeautyBlender and I now use only the BeautyBlender to make sure my dark circles and bags are covered! The BeautyBlender can also be used to APPLY SETTING POWDER ON THE T-ZONE AND IN THE UNDER-EYE AREA. I'd say it's OK at getting the product there, but it makes it look cakey, so you really do need ideally a brush to apply and then brush away any extra product, so the BeautyBlender cannot be your "go-to" item for this purpose. However, it's OK if you're in a rush and can't find any other application tool. The final way I've tried using the BeautyBlender is to CONTOUR AND HIGHLIGHT. My opinion here is divided - the BeautyBlender works wonderfully, if your bronzer and highlighter are cream (for example the L.A. Girl Cosmetics Pro Conceal HD Concealer, Espresso 8 g ). However, if they are powdered (for example the theBalm Balm Bronzer/Blush, Desert 6.39 g) ), the BeautyBlender just cakes up the product and leaves your face looking extremely blotchy. So, when contouring and highlighting with a BeautyBlender, just be careful what type of product you use. I have given this four stars, because when I tried to just wash out the products under running water (very bad for the environment, may I add) nothing happened. The stains remained. The water was also quite pink, so don't worry of this happens to you too - the original bright pink colour does fade away with usage (and it makes me question, if its safe to have that much paint in a product we apply to our faces, but that is a different story altogether). So I searched on YouTube for advise and saw that some people leave the BeautyBlender in a cup with water and baby shampoo overnight and rinse it out in the morning. I tried that, but then the BeautyBlender broke and now the bottom of it is unusable (see images attached). I am well upset over this, as I liked using the bottom part of the BeautyBlender to apply my liquid foundation on my forehead, cheeks and neck. Most of the stains tend to go away if I leave the BeautyBlender in water with baby shampoo for two days (changing the water after one day), but to be honest, I want to use the product, not watch it sit in a cup on my windowsill. So now I just have to live with a broken, stained BeautyBlender. At least it has a holding station (that comes with the item when you purchase it) that is very handy, as it makes sure the BeautyBlender stays atop of all other things you might have lying around. Lastly, let me say that when you initially get it, it's very small (see images attached with the BeautyBlender next to a shower gel bottle for size comparison). But once you've moistened it - it gets a lot bigger (again, see images attached with the BeautyBlender next to a shower gel bottle for size comparison) and actually, it never returns to the original size it arrived (I guess, because there is always a bit of moisture in the air, so the BeautyBlender can never be truly dry). Overall, I'd say I don't regret buying the original BeautyBlender, so I can see what the fuss is all about. However, I do not believe I will repurchase. I will probably look for alternatives that are (hopefully) cheaper, as I do not feel this product offers enough innovation and ingenuity to warrant such a high asking price. It's a product I'll have to bin after six months of use (due to health and safety reasons), so I'd basically need two of these a year - that is about Β£25.00, which could buy me a good quality makeup brush that I'd be able to use longer than a year! So don't recommend, but don't mind having either. ## Features - Dimensions: 5.2 x 4.6 x 2.4 - Weight: 0.02 kgs - Note: The item is delicate and should not be handled by someone with long nails.

First the delivery was brilliant. I ordered the item in the morning and received it the next day. When I first opened the package, I was surprised to find the sponge much smaller than I expected. However after holding under the water and squeezing the excess liquid out the sponge doubled in size. I wanted to use the BeautyBlender for a few months before reviewing and I must say I do not know what took me so long. My skin looks airbrushed constantly. There is something about applying your foundation on with this damp sponge. I do not get the caky look at all anymore, and find that I can build my foundation as much as needed without being worried about my skin looking caked up. I have now used this daily for five months and it has still retained its shape and quality. I will recommend this product to everyone and will be repurchasing. ## Frequently Bought Together - beautyblender Single Original Pink, Pack of 1 - beautyblender Blender Defender Silicone Protective Carrying Case, Pink, Black - beautyblender Power Pocket Puff, 21229 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/47886531-original-beauty-blender](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/47886531-original-beauty-blender) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-30*
