Beauty Blender Pro Tips & Tricks

[@lewisdenise241]

omg can't believe some of the comments left about her.she is giving you what works for her. picking on her eyebrows and stuff just ridiculous. women try to hard to be beautiful. real beauty comes from within. watch something else you like or worked for you.but don't pick her apart. look in your mirror.that's why I hate reading comments just wanted to get some feedback not hateful comments. Try a little kindness goes a long way

[@blackfire1642]

Amen

[@jerushadowdy7094]

She didn't have to make the video, these ungrateful people!

[@allydee8200]

I actually love her eyebrows.

[@graceliddy8166]

her: "it can last up to 3 months" me: *just got a new one after a year*

[@heybuddyyouinlondon7219]

same 😂😂

[@heybuddyyouinlondon7219]

like I'm not gonna pay that much for a beauty blender every 3 months lmao

[@user-gw1bk1dw3z]

I've had my knockoff for a year and the actual ones for 5 months😂

[@halle3889]

I just wait until it grows mold lol five months going strong

[@hopetha7512]

ik I just got a new one after like 10 months lol

This might change your makeup life- PRO TIPS & TRICKS for using beautyblender AND HOW TO PROPERLY CLEAN IT:

[@colleenshirley66]

Yes, it will change your make-up life for the BETTER and may even speed up your morning routine. Try it!!!

[@sugarkookies2369]

***** I've watched you for YEARS (before you were prego with Ellie) and I noticed that your lighting has gotten kinda bad? It's too white washed, you can't see your face very well or the application of products because of this. I noticed a few other people mentioning this in other videos and hoped you could maybe fix the issue for us? It's so bright that I almost get a headache trying to see what you're doing :( Love you! xoxo

[@esmeraldamad]

Jennifer Dernai-Garavaglia yes agree the lighting was super white

[@BriannaKearns]

You reminded me about how much I love my Beautyblender!! I am breaking it out tonight!

[@eunicejlee]

I agree the lighting has definitely changed and is way too washed out now. Love your videos though kandee!

[@stalstonestacy4316]

You're the first person I've seen in many years who does full coverage foundation and setting powder BEFORE doing eyes and brows. Thank you! I've always done my makeup this way even in the 80s we used foam triangles because it saved a ton of makeup, applied without streaks and lasted all day from 6:30am to 11pm

[@mimimazing54]

so she's right. the beauty blender is awesome but dont let the company fool you. You can use practically any bar soap and it will work just as well. Nikki tutorials suggested hotel bar soaps and thats what I've been using with mine. it works perfectly, my blender has not broken down and is in like new condition. I appreciate the product but hate being up sold for something unnecessary.

[@kimberlygilbertson9639]

I've also been using mine a longer than she mentioned. I'm talking 3 years, not 3 months. I have 2 of them and switch back and forth but still been using the same one longer than 3 months. How long have you used yours?

[@Amy623]

I have been using mine for almost 2 years and it looks almost brand new. I have been cleaning with mixture of olive oil and baby shampoo. It really works great!

[@jakyjimvega]

I purchased mine online from sephora in a duo special liquid soap included. i have used it twice and washed it and it got a tear. i was as gentle as possible but still got a small tear.

[@cindygonzalez8351]

I use coconut oil and antibacterial soap works great

[@lillianestrada5231]

Do you combine it all at once or one right after the other?

[@kandeejohnson]

@sjlovesicecream(sorry your settings won't let me reply to you normally) yes you can use it with powder! That's my favorite part! The beauty blender was created by my friend and makeup artist, and the most used reason for it is to set the makeup with powder! all my celeb makeup artist friends use it with powder! Many people that make videos and leave hate on videos aren't makeup artists, they just don't really know. ha ha ha They were designed to be used with powder so you just keep on doing it that way! huge hugs

[@adrimgm]

Would you say that the Real Techniques sponge is comparable?

[@kandeejohnson]

adrimgm I would just say that the beauty blender has a specially formulated hydrophilic sponge that no other copy version has!

[@rebeccaelda]

adrimgm i've used the real techniques sponge and initially was impressed. however, the spongy material started breaking down after about a month of use. once i went back to the beauty blender i remembered why i loved it in the first place. there's a reason it's so expensive; it's unmatched

Kandee Johnson my friend is going to do my makeup and hair to turn me into a model for a day what look she do look on me

[@rebeccabressler2631]

Absolutely loved this video! All my KZbin make-up gurus never explain fully how to use the blender or washing it! This was extremely helpful and I never knew if I needed to use it dry or wet, now I know WET ONLY! Thanks so much for this tutorial :)

[@jenniferfixofficial]

I have a beauty blender an you're right about everything you said! It is literally the greatest thing for applying foundation! I like using sponges a bit more than brushes and the beauty blender is the best sponge out there! Loved this video a lot Kandee!

[@jenniferfixofficial]

Plus it's pink and I love pink :)

[@TheJenniferfix]

ikr! i have one too and I'm obsessed with it! love your videos jen!

[@kandeejohnson]

it is amazing! Plus you can use the black one for self tanner!

[@itsjenfix]

HI JEN I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS 💕

[@josephineesquillo2941]

omg your always at the top of youtube videos hahaha

[@jacquelinedixon1630]

This video totally convinced me to buy a Beauty Blender. I'm so happy to say I agree with Kandee 110%! It replaces my foundation brush, concealer brush, blush brush, bronzer brush...etc. with flying colors! Thank you so much Kandee for sharing your thoughts and giving proper care instructions!

[@Tonofhats]

I got my beauty blender yesterday and tried it out for the first time today, I am impressed! It gave such a perfect patch free foundation application, my foundation hasn't budged ALL DAY! Usually by now it's started to slip but its staying put! The sponge makes it look as though you have no foundation on whatsoever, but instead have perfect blemish free skin. I also didn't realise how big the solid cleanser was when I ordered it, its rather big which is awesome! And the dry beauty blender is so cute and small, but it grows big time! The only thing I will say is that the pink dye runs a bit in the water after the first wash, not too much, but of course most brand new brushes and sponges run in the first wash. I love it!

[@MsGazettE100]

I thought the lighting was fine! Honestly people, she's doing us a favour no need to pick her a part. Loved the video, it was so so very helpful! You are always so sweet and adorable, thank you for taking the time to make this.(:

[@kandeejohnson]

thank you so much!

[@kellytormey4650]

The internet was one of the best and worst things invented! This lovely lady makes tips, tricks and tutorials to help us all achieve our 'best beautiful' & felt so sad reading through the rude comments! Trolls everywhere. I'm sure Kandee has thick skin + it's all a load of crap what they're saying anyway, they just like to put people down to make themselves feel better. I love the videos :D x

[@Ciruelorojo]

The beauty blender, flawless 360° application of your make up. Now you're even pretty on the inside - Literally!

[@alinzsko8947]

i dont even wear makeup but i watch kandee's videos just because i like her personality so much. she's so amazing..

[@dlrplastic]

I love how Kandee is full of energy and joy

[@Livinglifegirlstyle]

OMG KANDEE YOU LOOK GORGEOUS! And these tips with really help! Thank youuu

[@kandeejohnson]

yay! hugs!

[@aamina8581]

Krishna you still haven't subscribed back u said on bunnys vid that you will sub back straight away

[@kalecitalinda]

I wasn't convinced that I needed a beauty blender. I've watched so many videos of beauty gurus saying it was awesome, but I thought that brushes might have been all I needed. Thanks kandee: now I have to buy a beauty blender, right away. I think I won't be able live with out it xD

[@kandeejohnson]

I sorry!

[@rvankooten77]

çr

[@ieatcarpets4281]

Why is everyone so fucking rude in the comments omggg she made a great video and explained everything so stop bashing her eyebrows, video cuts or lighting cuz she is on fleek 😍

[@aniela5517]

I got a knock-off Beauty Blender from Primark for £2 and it works surprisingly well.

[@haniyahbashir5766]

So Did I! But I've had it for about 3 weeks now❤️

[@resilienceofagypsy3998]

Chicken Nuggets I prefer my primark ones over the actual real techniques ones. Amazing quality for the price and they wash so well!

[@alliemeyer6030]

Finally watched this and tried using the beauty blender the RIGHT way, and oh myyyy!!! My makeup looks SO much more amazing! IM OBSESSED!! Thank you Kandee!!

[@isthatkimmi]

I mean... Kandee, girl, I already own a Beauty Blender but daaaamn you're making me want to buy another one.

[@kandeejohnson]

ha ha ha ha I heart you!

[@christinahanna5800]

lol same :)

[@Lanaslife247]

I have tried probably EVERY knock off of the beauty blender, thinking id find the cheaper just as good version... THEN.... I tried the original Beauty blender. seriously ... NOTHING compares to this sponge. whatever your friend used, she is a genius ! love it and will never be without it. ( I own 4) :) xox

[@msshaunamahoney]

Guuuurl! I clean my BB sponge with the BB cleanser and use a cleansing oil to clean REALLY tough stains and I've been using the SAME sponge for two years!!! It's hardly stained or torn at all. Probably has another year before I need to chuck it. Nothing else compares to the Beauty Blender 😊

[@kandeejohnson]

you are really getting your bang for your buck!

[@mariafgonzales13]

which cleansing oil are you using exactly???? Ms Shauna Mahoney

[@msshaunamahoney]

+Maria Gonzalea I've been using the DHC Deep Cleansing oil lately, but basically anything that's not mineral oil based will do because the mineral oil based ones (Sephora Brand or The Garnier one) seem to leave an oily residue. Shu uemura is great (but expensive) or the MAC one, Bobbi Brown, or there's one from Eclos that's drug store priced.

[@msshaunamahoney]

Maria Gonzalea Sorry, I had to figure out how to reply to you directly because it didn't look like I did it right yesterday ;-) I've been using the DHC Deep Cleansing oil lately, but basically anything that's not mineral oil based (Sephora Brand or The Garnier one) will do. The mineral oil ones seem to leave an oily residue. Shu uemura is great (but expensive) or the MAC one, Bobbi Brown, or there's one from Eclos that's drug store priced and those seem to rinse out clean.

[@klt19cutie]

Ms Shauna Mahoney Do you think I could use the Seventh Generation dish liquid to clean the BB safely? It says it's natural and free of fragrance. Also, I'm new with the BB and wondering if you can spot clean it and what you could use? I heard of using witch hazel and tea tree oil in a spray bottle as spot clean for brushes, but not sure if you can for the BB.

[@AndreaCsays]

I always love how passionate you are, kandee. thanks for all the makeup advice over the years.

[@lshndterrell]

I seen this video and went out and bought a beauty blender the very next day. I absolutely love it. I actually am really bad at applying make up, but I love to do it. I struggled with very dark under eye circles and I couldn't find anything that helped me successfully hide them. Then I used this lil thing and I have to admit I was amazed. I didn't have to put goo gobs of make up on and I had wonderful coverage. My best friend looked at me the first time I used it and asked who did my make up. That made me feel awesome. Now even though my eye make up is crummy my skin looks flawless. Thank you so much!!! Now if only I could conquer these hooded lids I'd be cooking with fire.

[@KaliSpiers]

May have convinced me to get the beauty blender! Super helpful!

[@kandeejohnson]

you will love it!

[@christinahanna5800]

you will :)

[@BWithEmMarie]

Thanks for making this! These tips were so helpful! I love your channel :)

[@BWithEmMarie]

and your hair is goals

[@kandeejohnson]

I luv you!

[@SugarPuffAndFluff]

Loved it Kandee, very helpful, you are the best xoxoNisha

[@kandeejohnson]

thank you hugs gorgeous!

[@ayeshaksid]

It really does give a different look. I testify to that! The whole video I'd been thinking : Kandee, I love you.

[@ginavelasquez957]

I finally ordered a beauty blender after watching many of your videos and today it finally came! I was skeptical about it at first but when I tried it I was completely amazed and in love with this product! Thank you so much for all the videos you make! I'm an aspiring makeup artist and I hope to be as amazing as you are one day!

[@carlotaamaraldias7253]

I love your sponsored comments !

[@carlotaamaraldias7253]

I am not being rude if only you took the time to read the description

[@mariahspapaya]

I don't know if I'm the only one but i feel like my beauty blender absorbs my makeup and gives me a lighter coverage than I want. It's great for evening makeup but I definitely feel it's overhyped

[@amberparsons6566]

Yes same here

[@AnnaCorleone]

+Mariah Papaya +Amber Parsons I find a better use is to pump the Foundation on the back of your hand and then take a finger to place it in big dots on your face and THEN start spreading and blending with the beauty blender. (PS: different foundations have different amounts to get your face fully covered)

[@BehindTheSeaa310]

+Frl_F That's exactly what I do. I use NARS foundation, and most of their stuff is made for using your fingers.

[@PettankoXO]

+Mariah Papaya That only happens if you use it damp. It basically sheers down whatever is on it. If you want a more full coverage look, try using it dry. I don't know why she thinks you shouldn't use it dry.

[@shaylaswan7957]

+CuppycakeKisses she doesn't think you should use it dry, you have to use it well it's damp, it was actually made that way because if you use it dry than it's gonna look like cake face ;) just a tip

[@annbesterci1041]

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for this video. I finally understand how to use it. So informative.

[@bonitachan3457]

Sarcastic? Or not?

[@juliaschweizer5144]

+Bonita Chan don't think it's sarcastic because it really helped me too; for example I didn't know you had to use it wet

[@bonitachan3457]

+Julia Schweizer i was actually asking a sincere question. I wasn't joking about this. I found it helpful too actually.

[@jazminv5014]

Just bought my first beauty blender and it changed my life! Love it! 👍🏻😍😍😍

[@mohnanidoll]

I just got mine last week and I'm OBSESSED. I've never had such flawless foundation and it's all due to the blender.

[@luttergloss101]

I love the beauty blender.But after doing some research I found that the main ingredient is latex free foam.I went on amazon purchased latex free foam wedges for makeup application and its the same feel as the beauty blender, cheaper too and gives same flawless application.:-) this is great for anyone who cant afford the beauty blender.

[@Anna_Dawson]

secret= its made with silicone... not really a secret, i don't understand why other companies cant replicate it very well lol

[@kandeejohnson]

no there's a proprietary composition that is unlike any other, there's been a lot of scientific research to create the suede like feel and texture, and the hydrophilic foam!

[@Anna_Dawson]

***** true. but still with all the technological advances and tests we've made, you'd think others would figure it out lol

[@badlucktay]

I'm sure they have a patent. I mean it is a business lol

[@kandeejohnson]

imJZTme4EVAbitch yes I think they have some patents pending so no one can copy their composition

[@Anna_Dawson]

U sound like a paranoid private investigator lol

[@Ashleydawnsbeautyxx]

your so pretty i love your hair this really helped !!!

i worked hard on my channel :)

[@lexibrockman6726]

Your lights are washing out everything Miss Kandee!!! I can't really see much difference in anything you are doing and how it really blends cause the lights are just soooo bright!!! I do love you though and have wathed your tutorials for a very long time!

[@dmonica97]

This is the best beauty blender how-to I've seen. I didn't know you could use it for all kinds of face products -- cream and powder. Thanks!

[@ralucadbch]

Thank you for the experienced advice and the simple, clear way to explain. It is very useful, especially when you do not know what to buy. Very kind of you :)

[@carliemorgan1871]

the real techniques one is a great dupe.. cheaper as well. and the lighting was so bad in this video, you really couldn't see the application using the product. But was pretty good after all your makeup was on. Not a very good presentation.

[@jackiecamu8727]

+Carlie Morgan I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING! Its so hard to watch. Like the lighting is too bright.. :( I wanna continue watching but its giving me a headache.. :((

[@carliemorgan1871]

***** yes.

[@heybuddyyouinlondon7219]

the chichi ones are a great dupe to, latex free, gets bigger when wet and i like it soooo much better than the BB and RT one.

[@kokothomson2326]

+Carlie Morgan why is the lighting so bright like that ?? dawm

[@user-xv1kp6qf7h]

It's not as soft/squishy it's quite a bit harder. I think it's not bad and some people really like it if they are used to it but I was a huge huge skeptic of the Beauty blender but after using it for a while I finally am a believer. I prefer to use it dry for powder that was the difference for me. It kept pulling off my foundation when wet! Dry it just adds more product. Idk maybe my skin is weird.

[@chanelno.2534]

3:12 listen to the video without watching omg

[@susantea777]

I thought the same thing LOL. Sounded so wrong hahahaha

[@toroyoko]

+Chanel No.2 lmaoooo

[@Cocokitty98]

+Chanel No.2 ya'll dirty

[@HannahPanda656]

I was confused and instead watched the video without the sound 😂

[@Mutaalimah]

Shame on you

[@cheriechavis9519]

Thank YOU! Wow.. what a wonderful tutorial! I've had a beauty blender (and a knock off from Inglot) and I really never knew how to use it. This morning, my makeup is FLAWLESS... and that is saying something for a 48 year old! The application techniques are amazing! Thank you again you gorgeous girl!

[@laoisemacken3210]

I dont think ive ever leart more in any youtube video ever. THANKYOU❤️❤️❤️

[@nataliacarmody7024]

her jumpcuts hurt my brain

[@snickerdoodle212]

Omg yes. Lol after a while I started feeling my eye twitch involuntarily from watching it.

[@treekeel8767]

ME TOO

[@jaguar-lx5md]

Natalia Carmody no doubt, wtf?

[@nattcattt]

I had no idea that you were supposed to throw it out after 3 months... I've been using mine for probably over a year! lol. Still works really well though.

[@CherrieCupcakex]

Just for hygienic purposes Hahaa

[@1015SaturdayNight]

I microwave mine to make sure it's sanitary. I've had it a long time.

[@cat27evergreen]

I wash my beauty blender everyday and have had it for a year as well. As long as you keep it clean then I don't see why throwing it away is necessary after only 3 months

[@WhiteAngelKinz]

Just got one so excited to use it!!!!!!!!

[@Rosa-fi3yl]

Wow, no brushes needed..everything applied so nicely on You, foundation,bronzer, highlighter, contour, powder.. you've convinced me :)

[@onemelissa2003]

I got my Beauty Blender in the mail today from Sephora. It is so wonderful. After using other blenders and using this one... life changing. Thank you so much for recommending this!

[@jordanpoblete3697]

Beauty Tip- buy a Real Techniques beauty blender for only $6 at Ulta Beauty or at Target, they sell them everywhere. They seriously work EXACTLY like the real Beauty Blenders!!!!

[@jillruben8924]

Jordan Poblete no they aren't the same.

[@jaguar-lx5md]

Jordan Poblete ohhhh! Didn't no that, never c at cvs

[@Ms.MD7]

I wish Real Techniques worked for me 😩 coz bb aren't cheap but sadly it didn't so I'm back to beautyblender

[@nataliajune5844]

Im sorry but i cant sEE WHAT THE BEAUTY BLENDER DOES THE EXPOSURE IS SO DAMN STRONG

[@TwistedGlam]

Right! For having so many views youd think she'd figure out lighting...

[@itbelikedatbihh5549]

Natalia June "I'm not sponsored but my friend invented it"

[@marimusic747]

You should try out the Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge because it is incredibly soft and very versatile as well but far cheaper! Maybe you could do a comparison

[@MandaL0814]

its cute that it says NEVER use it dry but the video i just watched you said ehh sometimes i get lazy and use it dry. i love you.you give great tips and directions like these but also show us that we dont have to be perfect hugs girlie keep doin you

[@Kourtney-Bellamy]

Definitely going to have to invest in these beauty blenders! :) P.S- I absolutely love your upbeat/perky attitude!! It's totally refreshing to see people enjoying life and loving what they do as much as you do!!

[@vivinesque]

The bright light is making it hard to see anything in detail :/

[@t0werg1rl]

The lighting in this video is too bright -- it looks like your makeup might not actually look very good, but you turned up the contrast, like in photoshop, to make it look better. Most of us already know that makeup should be applied and photographed in natural light, especially if it's overcast. If I saw your videos in lighting like that I'd trust you a lot more.

[@flamflam6652]

The lights are so bright that you can't see any detail.

[@kandeejohnson]

yes, I'm no good at lighting!

[@clayheatherashley9800]

***** I thought you did good :) bright but cheerful

[@xBrandNewHope]

***** When you're a bit further away from your lights, the lightning is perfect. So perhaps it's an idea that when you do close-ups (like you were doing when u showed us how to blend your contouring for example) to just zoom in instead of getting closer to the camera? If that is what you're doing already than please forget this comment.. Other than that: I love your videos. You have taught me so much over the years. Not only about make up but about life itself and how ones attitude influences other people. So a huge thank you for that! Hugs from The Netherlands!

[@tendelphintso5053]

thank you so much , I've had the beauty blender for a while but i never had a good idea of how to use it … i had no idea that you had to use it wet ! this really changed my life , thank you so much! x

[@ChanyBanany6590]

I just bought a beauty blender and used it for the first time today and I LOVE IT! I used about half the foundation I would with brushes with absolutely no fallout and about a third of the setting prefer I normally use. And the coverage was sooo flawless! I will never go back to brushes or normal sponges!

[@Jay__Cee]

did anyone else find the lighting too bright?

[@kandeejohnson]

yes, me!

[@Jay__Cee]

***** lol I thought it was my computer messing with me. I had to check my eyes weren't playing games with me. You're like the first youtuber to tell people to wash straight after they use the beauty blender. I've been waiting for someone to finally say it cos I do that and never get stains

[@BostonBarbieDoll]

***** lol

[@Cececat15]

can u please do a priscilla presley tutorial? her hair n makeup from the 60s?

[@DakotaEden]

Good idea!

[@Cececat15]

DakotaEden Thanks :)

[@lealou1092]

Omg! Yes!

[@alicialee2503]

Yes Kandee do her!!

[@chelseayager9303]

I use mine dry. Using it wet is great but only when I want a light coverage. It sheers out foundation when wet so I prefer it dry.

[@CarinaSpence1988]

I've been wondering about the beauty blender for a a while .... And sold. Something to blend my cream blush with other than my fingers.. finally! Kandeejohnson you're awesome and a beautiful soul :)

[@ginamiller6754]

Love the beauty blender! Nothing else compares!! Love u too Kandee😻

[@HeyNowMandy]

Just so everyone knows, I have used both the original Beauty Blender and "knock-offs" on myself and do not see a difference. I am perfectly content with using a knock-off. Someone should do a blind study and see if people notice a difference. TJ Maxx and Marshalls sell great "knock-offs" that I love and continue to use daily. I returned the Beauty Blender for my money back, not worth it.

[@kandeejohnson]

the knocks offs are made of mostly likely latex, which causes many skin allergies, they are stiffer, the shape does not give an airbrushed look, I've tried several of them and they don't ever get as soft as the BB when they're wet! it's worth it to spend a few more dollars, my friend as put so much time and scientific studies into making the beauty blender unlike anything else!

[@HeyNowMandy]

maybe i just personally didn't see the difference then, and other people will! maybe one day i will give the original another try and look harder for a difference.

[@SuperPVZFan221]

I used a different brand from sephora and didn't see a difference. :)

[@quyentruong97]

If you haven't yet, I'd definitely try the Real Techniques blending sponge! They sell it at Ulta and it's around $5 to $6, which is around the same price of the sponges at TJ Maxx and Marshalls. I have it and I think it's fantastic! :)

[@HeyNowMandy]

Andrea Anonymous maybe i did!

[@BeHappy-hh5on]

Kandeee PLEASE STOP editing videos like that... cutting it off all the time... it is annoying and it makes everything seem nervous. In 1 sentence you cut your video like 10 times... it's crazy. I am watching you for 4-5 years now and I adore you but please stop doing that with your videos, it's not fun to watch.

[@ariezamaarat719]

Am I the only one who thinks she sounds like Lolly for Orange is the new black ?

[@_beauty_killer_3981]

I litterally thought that throughout the entire video

[@Stepic143]

Hellllll nooo, lolly is not that fucking annoying

[@xAvengeTheFallen]

+NEWSHOO then why are you even here.

[@Stepic143]

xAvengeTheFallen because I didn't expect someone annoying as fuck??

[@xAvengeTheFallen]

+NEWSHOO then leave? Why even leave a comment.

[@toshanygaard3652]

So simple yet effective with flawless results. You inspire me to try new techniques and feel as beautiful as you are. Thank you!

[@nailpolish6028]

Best tutorial I have seen so far about the beauty blender👍

[@terranb21]

I like the Real Techniques sponge better than my beauty blender. I like that it has a flat side and a pointy side and I can not tell the difference between it and the beauty blender as far as how the sponge is. It feels exactly the same it sucks in water the exact same and it's only 6$. Not only is it way cheaper but I think it's way better. I think the Beauty blender is just way too over priced for what it is. Esp when another company has been able to come out with the same thing for like 75% cheaper. Just my opinion... There are some god awful knockoffs out right now though. Hard as rocks. My number one Real Techniques and my number 2 is my beauty blender.

[@CHarmMing]

That's exactly why I got my beauty blenders during a great sale at cherry culture. Before they got rid of other lines I was able to get two two packs of black blenders and the solid cleanser at 40% off each. I also have the real techniques one and I love them all. I find the real techniques one easiest for doing makeup on myself.

[@steffers841]

I have never tried the beauty blender because I cannot justify the cost. Most beauty bloggers have gotten theirs for free as PR material (MOST). I have purchased the Real Techniques sponge and LOVE IT! Its so soft and is flawless!

[@Isennia]

Where can you buy that one?

[@steffers841]

I am in Canada so I bought one from London Drugs but I think you can get one at Target. I also found one on eBay for $7

[@terranb21]

Isennia I got mine at Kohls but I know they sell them at Walmart too. You can also go to the Real Techniques website :)

[@MyLifeAsAkira]

Jesus, stop doing so many jump cuts.. 😳

[@monikacancilla6728]

+My Life As Akira I can't even watch it! Arrrgh!

[@MrsRobinNL]

I knooowww I had to stop watching at 1:20..

[@tuppientuppi8356]

Was going to say the exact same thing. So sad cause I like what she shares but the cutting is ridiculous! xD

[@laurenarnold813]

Okay it's hard to remember lunes. I always jump cut every time I say ummm or start thinking. It makes it less awkward

[@yasminparisa]

do you wash it after every use?

[@celinamromero8201]

You don't have to but it's highly recommended so it won't grow bacteria

[@celinamromero8201]

Actually yes wash it every time so you won't get mold, but if you do start seeing dark spots on it throw it away and don't use it again!THAT IS MOLD,you need to buy a new one if that happens

[@yasminparisa]

what if its just foundation stains?

[@Tcjonez90]

+Yasmin T I think you will be able to tell, if it's an orangey, peach colour then you know it's just makeup but if it is small black/dark spot then I would say it's probably mold growing

[@almdudlertoo]

Your makeup skills are incredibly! So great! You are gorgeous, especially when you don't have makeup on! Love your freckles!!

[@hrvr98]

Ah I just got a Beauty Blender tonight! I am SO excited to wake up tomorrow and do my makeup! Thanks for such a great video!

[@jasbirkaurvillaschi8019]

goes in to the pore 360 degrees ? you are not going around back of the pore maybe it would better to say from all angles instead

[@liebekaese]

well if you imagine a pore as a circle it actually makes sense because a circle has 360 degrees... so all angles are covered

[@likeastarbaby]

cannot get over how much better you look without makeup than with it, lol.

[@OliviaCohenSjrslev]

I like that you call the beauty blender "he" ahahah

[@laurariddle8364]

Best tutorial ever on the beauty blender

[@kirstymacfarlane1620]

Thanks Kandee I've just got a beauty blender and I'm so glad I watched this tutorial I had no idea you could use it for so many things! Think I'll be buying a few more! You're the best love ya xxx

[@ChristLedwithLeyah]

Your lighting in the video is way too bright. It was hard to really see your face and foundation.

[@gigiv77ify]

I always used mine dry.. Woops

[@cherry-li7ek]

same

[@robincerda5063]

[@chelzntait]

gianna v me too feel so silly haha

[@saydeization]

when i try and use a beauty blender it feels like its taking my makeup ff so I don't use it

[@saydeization]

Imani T thank u

[@ladinkhalaf2113]

Loool

[@rxnia99]

Did you wet it first ?

[@saydeization]

Rania yea

[@Dando0o0o0sha]

lately, ive been using it for EYERY THING. foundation, concealer, blush , bronzer , highlight and powder and i have noticed just how different and better my makeup looks even though the products never changed. it made my makeup look fresh and dewy ( in a good way) aaall day

[@ohcarolshow]

Okay....I am sold!! I have hesitated buying this and bought some horrible cheapies but I am sold Kandee!! You are good girlfriend~~ Much love to you!! xoxo CAROL

[@cherrycoke2.0]

After watching this I want to hop in a plane and go buy it

[@hopelessromantic8682]

Would the Real Techniques beauty blender be comparable?

[@kandeejohnson]

I don't think anything comes close the beauty blender...it's all they make and they have special ingredients that no one else has

[@hopelessromantic8682]

***** Is this sold at Ulta? Anyone know?

[@jillianb1919]

Melissa Whitt Yes it is, I got mine at Ulta!

[@michaelagurska387]

i think Real Techniques sponge is exactly the same as the beauty blender! I have both. :)

[@sarahdosland2842]

NO. Just splurge and spend the extra money.

[@nikkik2648]

mine didn't come with the soap its an extra 16.00!!

[@klg31]

I use a hydrating shampoo that is sulfate free. It works great.

[@debbie3289]

I use baby shampoo

[@kuriring1901]

I really love all your make up tutorials, very detailed, and its very helpful for us, you are amazing, please dont get tired teaching us... Keep it up!

[@carolinenmalaverojas5675]

I buy one and I did not know how to use it until now thanks to you!! Thank you Kandee and you look beautiful as always!!

[@mavinajfan]

I'm not a fan of the Beauty Blender 1) It doesn't work with my makeup primer spray which I need so my makeup doesn't melt off 3 hours later. 2) I feel like it thins out my foundation and I have acne scarring I like to cover. I even tried squeezing out the excess with a towel. 3)Mine feel apart after about a month. I was gentle with it too as I was scared this might happen. I just prefer to use my fingers.

[@CCLynnBeauty]

She said NEVER use it dry. Whoops. I've been blending wrong :[

[@MultiSuperllama]

same 😂

[@Itsindyb]

Me the entire time 😂

[@CCLynnBeauty]

Then, when you finally use it wet, it works much better. I had a "duh" moment. lol

[@user-gw1bk1dw3z]

I used it dry all the time, i have a pink and a white one and a knockoff, also, do knockoffs need to be dampened too? Well shit, I've done this wrong, really really wrong😂

[@kellymonreal4771]

Ha ha ha same

[@Blaqueasian]

Your lighting is awful. I couldn't see as you were applying the makeup...just a lot of shine.

[@lizr4076]

Maybe you need to fix the settings on your computer. Her lighting is absolutely Prefect.

[@Diosabellissima]

Agreed-- her ring light is turned up way too high. Can you turn it down a bit, Kandee?

[@kandeejohnson]

I'm sowwy!

[@Blaqueasian]

***** You are a peach...Thank You ☺

[@jessicah8057]

Yes it's really bright

[@RoseOatley]

Thanks for sharing! I hadn’t thought of using it with powder. Makes sense! Thanks!

[@Tonofhats]

I ordered mine yesterday and I absolutely can't wait to try it out!

[@ChristyBeauty]

the real techniques sponge is amazing and it's only 5.99! :)

[@gnehcuon]

wasn't she the makeup artist for buzzfeed?

[@safiyyah113]

Yeah

[@rahmasaad1318]

Chanyeol! ❤

[@siminw]

What can I wash my beauty blender with, apart from the original beauty blender cleanser?

[@Mjkaddict77]

Any all natural soap. I use dr bonners.

[@aleenolilo]

I use facial cleanser and IT'S SO GOOD!!! It removes the stains like crazy and it looks brand new

[@aminah2306]

I would recommend baby shampoo, cause it's really gentle

[@joanlouis9214]

Oil and dawn soap ☺️

[@ashaharris801]

I use baby shampoo/soap whenever I clean my brushes/beauty blender because it's made for babies which means it's going to be gentle

[@HealthNutNutrition]

This was super informative Kandee! Would this work with a mineral foundation like the Tarte Amazonian clay full coverage one?

[@veronicarobinson4321]

that feeling when you find a new youtuber 😍😍
