If you’ve ever done your makeup with a Beautyblender, you can thank Mexican-American entrepreneur Rea Ann Silva for creating the iconic sponge in the 2000s. 

Working in the TV and film industry, Silva felt there must be a better way to apply foundation than airbrushing. She started experimenting with foam sponges, cutting and shaping them until she settled on an egg-shaped applicator.

This prototype would become one of the beauty industry’s favorite tools, and decades later, we’re still using it to get that perfect finish.
