From Girlfriends to Global Icon: The Beautyblender Story, As Told To Us By Founder Rea Ann Silva Herself

Hi Glams! Just general PSA that we will be taking the week off next week. See you for our anniversary on 7/8!

She’s the mastermind behind one of the most revolutionary tools in beauty history: the Beautyblender. This week, we are joined by legendary makeup artist and founder Rea Ann Silva for a conversation that goes way beyond the sponge. Rea Ann takes us back to the '90s, reflecting on her experience as one of the go-to MUAs for Black actors and artists, and how that ultimately led her to create the Beautyblender while working on the set of Girlfriends. She walks us through how exactly she invented the sponge, how she grew it from set secret to global phenomenon, and why you won’t find a patent on it. Plus, Rea Ann reveals the five products she always keeps in her kit, and gives us the inside scoop on the most underrated Beautyblender product that she believes deserves way more hype.
