Re: Method for applying foundation

@CherryHugs   I use a brush for my tinted moisturizer. I find I can stipple it on where I need more coverage. A sponge uses up a lot more foundation than needed IMO.

 

After putting powder on my t zone, I do use a damp sponge when finished to eliminate any powdered look.

 

I keep my "foundation brush" to the side to help blend edges of my blush/bronzer. I also sometimes use it to apply concealer if in a hurry.

It can vary. But I mostly use a brush to apply my Foundation then a sponge to finish the look. It's hard to believe that I used to use my fingers to apply my Foundation.

Re: Method for applying foundation

I have tried brushes, sponges, fingers, etc.  I just decided that applying some to the back of my hand and then dotting a small amount on my face and using my fingers to dab and kind of spread it gently is the best way for me!

Re: Method for applying foundation

If I use powder foundation, i apply with a brush. On the rare occasions that I use a cream, nothing beats my fingers for blending--and I've tried brushes & sponges many times.

@CherryHugs  - I spread a few dots on the back on my hand and then use a DAMP Real Techniques sponge to apply to my face.  Air brushed look.  I could never achieve this look using my fingers for application.

Re: Method for applying foundation

Am a brush girl---I have some really awesome brushes too., from the various powder foundation sets . I use the damp sponge too usually around my eyes for concealors.

Re: Method for applying foundation

I use medium coverage liquid foundations. Here and there I will use a Beauty Blender but most of the time I use a brush. I I have a Guerlain foundation and they suggest putting a few drops on the brush then apply to the face. This was a different approach for me but I like the application.
