## But first, let’s discuss what is a beauty blender?
Simply put, a makeup sponge changed the entire ballgame of makeup application. Before the [makeup blender sponge set](https://www.faceofdee.com/products/marble-makeup-and-beauty-blender) existed, people used brushes (they still do!) or simply used their hands. It is usually used to apply foundation or concealer on your face during your makeup routine. But, you can do so much more with it. 
Read along to learn how to use a makeup sponge in various ways and the right way to use it. 

## How to Use a Makeup Sponge?
 
Just follow these three steps while using it - Wet, Squeeze, Bounce!
 
### Step No. 1 - Wet your sponge!
 
This is extremely important and you cannot miss this initial step every time you use your blender. Hold your [makeup sponge](https://www.faceofdee.com/products/marble-makeup-and-beauty-blender) under a running tap until it fluffs up and gets soaked completely. It must be very well saturated to a point where it doubles up in size. Doing so, will not allow the blender to soak in the product and give you an airbrushed finish. 

### Step No. 2 - Squeeze
 
Now, once your beauty blender is fully soaked in water, squeeze the water out of it. Remember, always apply your makeup with a damp beauty blender. This will help you distribute the product evenly on your face without letting the product get absorbed in the blender. This way, you do not waste anything and make optimal use of both the products. 

### Step No. 3 - Bounce
 
The third and final step is to BOUNCE. Once you’ve squeezed the water out of the makeup sponge, dip it in your favourite foundation and start bouncing the sponge on your primed and prepped skin. Now, remember, NEVER EVER drag or swipe the blender while applying foundation. This creates streaks on your face and rather than placing the product, it wipes it off. All you have to do is bounce the sponge on your face in gentle motion to attain a flawless finish. Use the pointed end for the under-eyes, nose area, chin, etc. whereas the fluffy rounded area for cheeks and neck.
