Curious? Get ready then. We’re here with 10 mindboggling tips and tricks to show you how to put your beauty blender to alternate uses.
1. PRIME UP
Just like how you prime your skin before makeup, you can do the same to your beauty blender. Yes, simply dot it with primer. This will prevent your products from being absorbed by the sponge, and you will end up using less of the product.
2. HIGHLIGHT LIKE A PRO

How to: Dip the round end of the beauty blender into your highlighter and draw a ‘C’ from the top of your cheekbone to the temple. Use the pointy end to highlight your brow bone and eye corners.

Concealers are a boon to cover dark circles and redness, but the flip side is that they tend to crease. But now, you have the beauty blender to your rescue.
