I did everything I was supposed to do, but even my revlon colorstay didn't get me the coverage I wanted when used with my beauty blender. What's the deal? I need ADVICE!:(

Sponges tend to absorb product, therefore you typically don't get as much coverage as you'd think you should. Try using a foundation or stippling brush. It tends to be able to build your coverage that way.

I use a flat top kabuki and I get full coverage. But it tends to look a bit cakey.. I figured the beauty blender would solve that problem:(

Try stippling. It seems to apply product lightly and you can build coverage as you like.

I agree with tonita, stippling is The most likely solution, but the beauty blender is used damp so will provide a more sheer coverage. try stepping with a flat foundation brush, sort of like pressing the foundation on your face.

You have to wet the beauty blender and squeeze out all the water so it doesn't absorb your foundation so you can have full coverage !!

yupp Ari is should be damp, you squeeze it under water till it grows then try to squeeze as much out as poss. Brooke I'm not sure How wet it s Ulster be but instructons say to towel dry after wetting it. I suspect the water could be What's giving you a sheerer finish though. do u use a powder on top? that would give u more coverage.

I find my beauty blender absorbs more than it puts on my face, annoying.
