Every so often, a product enters the beauty community with innovation so great it changes the convention of how makeup
is applied. We can thank Guerlain for the invention of the bronzer, celebrating its 30th birthday this year.
Another example: Terry de Gunzberg creation of YSL’s iconic Touche Eclat, saving us from dark circles and starting a
beauty epidemic. If you are looking to blend flawless skin with the ease of a top makeup artist,
CHLOE’s Beauty Editor and Makeup Artist Natalie Ventola introduces you to the solution.

ntroducing the latest craze: the Original
Beauty Blender. Invented by Hollywood
makeup artist Rea Ann Silva, the sponge was
quick to become a cult favorite. This simple but
effective tool makes blending foundation effortless, giving the skin a flawless, natural finish.
Editor Tips: Apply your foundation onto the
skin using your fingers or a foundation brush.
Dampen your Beauty Blender with water, and
use a stippling motion to blend the foundation
into your skin. Use the round base all over your
face, and the pointy tip for hard to reach places
such as under the eyes or around the nose. The
Beauty Blender is also great for applying cream
blush and contour. For hygienic purposes, wash
the sponge before and after each use.
