A makeup MacGyver Moment, but Without the Mullet: Make an Improv beauty Blender Sponge
just something I figured out the other day when (surprise, surprise!) I couldn’t find my beauty Blender. I swear, one of these days I have to finally, FOR GOOD, straighten out my office.
Sigh…

So I’d just finished applying Laura Mercier flawless Fluide foundation and needed to blend it out, but no beauty Blender…so I MacGyver-ed (yes, I just turned that into a verb) an improv beauty Blender with a kabuki brush and some MAC Fix+.
Please note the Mariah Carey fan action
Here’s what ya do
Take a kabuki brush — and I’m using the too faced Retractable Teddy Bear Hair Kabuki brush here — and spray it three or four times with MAC Fix+.
When I do this, I hold the bottle of Fix+ about eight inches away from the brush so the spray envelops the brush head evenly, and you want to just dampen the bristles, not make them dripping, soaking wet. Next, gently buff and blend your foundation and concealer on the skin using the dampened brush head and a circular motion.
That should take care of any edges and leave everything buffed out and almost airbrush-caliber.
This is also handy if you’re going for an effortless, not overly “done” foundation look and realize, “Uh, oh! Where’s my beauty Blender?” try it sometime!
