Summary
In 2002, celebrity makeup artist Rea Ann Silva completely shook the makeup world with her ingenious invention - an egg-shaped, reusable makeup sponge that you used wet - the Beauty Blender!
Now 17 (!!) of the iconic pink sponges sells every minute around the world. It's beloved by makeup artists like @MakeupByMario and @LotStar and celebs like Kylie Jenner as well as makeup novices - who all embrace the way it makes your foundation go on quickly and seamlessly.
Now, the makeup artist has launched her very first foray into makeup with 32 shades of Beauty Blender Bounce Liquid Whip Long Wear Foundation. We were one of the first Canadian media to learn alll about the shade selection and the innovative packaging.
Stay tuned to the very end to hear our rapid fire round with this self-made beauty founder!
