Celebrity makeup artist and Beautyblender ® founder Rea Ann Silva shared with us her blending tips and tricks that will leave you looking flawless.

Cover Up Dark Circles and Blemishes Apply your favorite concealer to Beautyblender. Use
the pointed side and the “stipple and twist” technique to work makeup
into depressed areas of the face. The stippling and twisting actions
feathers out the makeup’s edges, blending it without creating changes in
the texture or tone of your skin, leaving a perfect finish. The pointed
side is particularly great for hard-to-reach spots like around the nose
and mouth, and under the eyes.
Ditch the Cakey Foundation Look Use
the round base for foundation on the larger areas of your face such as
your forehead, cheeks and chin. It leaves just the right amount on the
skin and will leave an airbrushed finish. Be sure to blend makeup all
over, including the eye area, starting in the middle and working your
way out.
Add Some Color to Get Your Glow On Instantly
brighten your skin with bronzer and blush. Use the round base and apply
bronzer to the apples of your cheeks followed by blush. A fast way to
find the apples of your cheeks is to smile. Be sure to blend the color
up toward your temples. You can even add a highlighter to your cheek
bones to really accentuate them and give a glow. Start at the inner
corner of the eye, blend it over the brow bone and onto your cheekbone –
then do the other side. Finish by blending a little down the bridge of
your nose, chin and above the middle of your lips.
Make Your Eyes Pop Using the pointed side of Beautyblender, apply eyeshadow in your creases and blend it down over the lids avoiding the brow bones. By using the Beautyblender,
there won’t be any harsh lines or stripes of color. Instead, it will
look blended and effortless. For more definition, rim your upper lashes
with a liner pencil and smudge it upward with the pointed side. To get
an extra bright-eyed effect, use the tip of the pointed end and dot
shimmery eyeshadow onto the inner corners of your eyes. Celebs use this
trick on the red carpet all the time!
Add Some Strategic Shimmer Blend
some shimmer on the top of your décolletage in a capital T shape. For
an even bigger boost, blend bronzer with the round base of Beautyblender around the inside of each breast to enhance your cleavage. This little beauty magic trick works wonders!
