About us
Rea Ann Silva’s experience spans a 20-year journey as one of the most sought-after Hollywood makeup artists in the industry. As the creative force behind beautyblender, she single-handedly changed the beauty game. The beautyblender concept came to Rea Ann while she was the Department Head of one of the first TV shows shot in hi-definition. Rea Ann handled the constant touch-ups with her hand-cut, edgeless sponges to mimic the seamless look of airbrushing. Soon, every celebrity that sat in Rea Ann’s chair wanted their own hand-cut sponge; thus creating the original edgeless sponge. Beautyblender quickly became the secret on set that had every pro talking. Today, the category-creator holds countless beauty awards and is beloved by both makeup aficionados and newbies as the go-to tool for achieving a perfectly blended complexion. As Beautyblender expands, we continue to innovate easy-to-use products that require minimal efforts yet offer maximum results.

Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts’ Opera House on Thursday, September 5th, 2024. “It is truly an honor of a lifetime to receive such a prestigious recognition from my community,” said Rea Ann Silva. “I started Beautyblender as a way to put my own entrepreneurial touch on the beauty industry. This is something we strive to do every step of the way as a brand alongside our efforts to pave the way for future LatinX leaders in beauty.” “Rea Ann Silva's path is a testimony to her entrepreneurial spirit standing on the legs of vision, boldness, resilience, and ganas,” said Antonio Tijerino, president and CEO of HHF. “We look forward to paying tribute to Rea Ann as an impactful Latina and all the 2024 Honorees through their accomplishments, cultural pride and great promise to this country and the world.” The historic #HHAs, broadcast nationally on PBS, are not only considered among the highest honors for Latinos by Latinos but also the only Hispanic programming that honors Latino excellence in a variety of categories and disciplines as community and business leaders, entrepreneurs, STEM-related impactors, educators, innovators, public officials, and youth stand alongside celebrities and cultural icons.

"Honestly, we've lost track of how many Allure Magazine awards the Original Beautyblender has won. This latex-free foam teardrop—which is more or less what all other modern makeup sponges are based on—is built to absorb less product and ensure that it gets distributed flawlessly on your face. Just don't forget to wet the sponge first, which is how to get the best results, whether you're applying liquid or powder complexion makeup."
