Depends on the formula. My Giorgio Armani Maestro foundation is best applied using clean fingers. And its even suggested on the packaging that hands are the best method.

When I apply foundation with my fingers..I don't know why but it appears a little cakey...and should I dampen the sponge with water applying?...haven't tried a brush yet.

Sush p what skin type do you have? Oily, dry etc?

Sush...its probably not working well with your moisturizer giving you the cakey look.

Brushes will give you a more even look. You can also try wetting a sponge n using it if your foundation is creamy.

I would try everything, like Shelley said. Diff formulas do different things😉 brush, fingers, etc.

My skin type is currently oily..thanks so much girls for taking time out and replying. Each and everyone of your answers were helpful :)

For oily skin is use a flat brush.

I think it varies from product to product and skin type. I know Laura Mercier, for example, encourages application with fingers as does some Givenchy products. For drier skin days clean fingers or a Beauty Blender work well as they don't stir up flakes. When I'm not dry, I like my UD Optical Blur Brush or Real Techniques Stippling Brush.
