Re: How do you apply foundation??

I have almost every brand QVC sells. I use different ones depending on the weather. In the summer, I wear a lighter color that's thinner (more like Mally).

In the Winter I wear Laura Geller in the tube. It's thicker and quicker.

I see her Mally is selling A-221412 - Under Eye Brightner. It works. I like it. I try to take time to put it on.

Another one that I think I like better is IT - It comes in a thin black tube. It is really wonderful. It is more for brightning.

Mally's covers more the flaws. The other brightens your eyes.

I was using Tarte with the brush, but stopped using it for a Skinn product. The Skinn BB cream I apply using a sponge. I like the brush application better, though, so maybe should try it with other products.

Re: How do you apply foundation??

It varies. I use a foundation brush, a sponge, or fingers. Usually it looks best with a damp sponge. It also looks better with moisturizer added.

I think it is interesting that I can use the same foundation and get different looks according to the technique and tool I use to apply.

Small sponge wedge that I throw away after using. I am ultra careful about anything touching my face being clean since I am very acne prone.

Re: How do you apply foundation??

I use Tarte foundation, or the Tarte bb cream so I will apply with both the large foundation brush and the bb cream stipple brush.

I also use a beauty blender. I get better more consistent coverage with brush or the blender vs using my fingers.

Re: How do you apply foundation??

I dot cream foundation or tinted moisturizer on my face and blend it a little bit with my fingers. I then finish blending with a Beauty Blender (damp and squeezed out on a towel).

Re: How do you apply foundation??

I only use a powder foundation and apply with a flat top brush and stipple it on first, then blend for even coverage. Same with blush.

With a Beauty Blender Sponge....can't get any better! I've used a variety of brushes, my fingers, flat sponges, etc. The BB sponge makes my skin look more flawless than anything else. For me, its a must-have.

Re: How do you apply foundation??

I use disposable cosmetic sponges and only use them once so each day I use a new sponge. I tried the Beauty Blender sponge a couple of years ago but hated it and threw it away. I love the way the cosmetic sponges apply my foundation (I use Estee Lauder Futurist foundation). I've also tried special foundation brushes, fingers, etc., but nothing applies it better for me than the cosmetic sponges.
