Foundation Brush

RibbonsRosesRainbows — Mon, 09 Jun 2014 00:54:00 GMT

A while back I had purchased some makeup......lasts me forever since I don't wear it every day and I also purchased a foundation brush.........the way the artist applied the brush to my face gave me a better finish so I purchased it.......well the other day I used it and bristles were all over my face and I looked on the box realizing it was a powder brush......so I called the store and the man that answered remembered me being there and the artists selling me the wrong brush......he tried to correct it but the artist said no he was wrong.....well he was right and sent the correct one out the same day.........trusting me to return the brush this month which I will.........amazing how much better foundation works with a foundation brush and I will probably wear makeup more often now since it is so easy to apply and the finish looks professional.........do you love a FOUNDATION BRUSH and how long have you been using one? Thank you.

I use cream foundation and apply it with a makeup sponge I got at Target. The sponge is from the Sonia Kashik line.

For some reason I don't like getting makeup on my hands and I don't like applying body lotion......so my skin is dry but not too dry.........I don't know why I don't like rubbing lotion on my body?

I've heard those sponges are good. Think I'll try them.Thanks for the reminder Gidget (: to the OP, I never really like using a brush but lots of people do. (:

I've always used brushes for liquid foundation although I don't wear it daily. I've used pretty much all brands, the one I have now is Sephora's Visionary something. Works well.

That's funny you don't like applying body lotion. I don't like applying lotion to my feet and won't with my bare hands!

I use the oval sponge- comes in a two pack. I've been very pleased with it. There's also a sponge in that line for blush. I use that also.

I was at the Lancome counter this PM at Macy's and saw this one for use with powder and cream. It is $20 and its called cheek brush #21. I almost bought it-- Friends and Family didn't apply to cosmetics this time around.

From the Lancome website:

One brush, two looks. The perfect accessory for powder & cream blush. Designed with a short, easy-grip handle for portability and convenience, the flat bristled head provides the ideal application of blush for a flawless look.

Try a liquid moisturizer in a bottle and spray it on either in the shower or right after. I like natural oils such as bitter almond.

I have found I have better control by using my fingers to apply my liquid foundation.
