How do you apply your foundation??

Seeing that there's just so many new products, tools and techniques out there now it will be interesting to see all the different ways people prefer to apply their foundation.
I personally use a stippling brush and stipple it on (it gives a nice light coverage for me and doesn't use up too much product) and now I've gotten into using a damp beauty blender after to press the product in a little more and makes it nice and flawless

Aaaaand... Go!! 😁😁

It really depends in the product, with my Urban Decay One&Done I use my fingers. With my Clinique chubby stick foundation I use a flat top buffing brush. With my UD Naked skin foundation I will use a damp beauty blender :)

I use my real techniques professional face brush for liquid foundations. I use the brush in circles and then "stipple" it in with the same brush. Gives me a flawless finish :)

Agreed with what was said above it really depends on the product!! And also what finish/ type of coverage I'm looking for, I generally use my beauty blender but on fancy occasions I use my foundation brush to buff it in because I find it gives me slightly more coverage 🎉

I use the real techniques contour brush to blend in the foundation then go over the product with a beauty blender to give an airbrushed look.

With my foundations I use the Sigma F80 and stipple/pay the foundation in, I find with that brush if I buff in the foundations I lose a lot of coverage. With my CC cream I use the Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge (:

Totally agree that it depends on the product. If I'm doing liquid, like UD Naked Ultra, I use my IT Cosmetics flat top buffing brush (this brush gives your foundation the most coverage). If I'm using cream, like RCMA or Joe Blasco Ultra Base, I apply it with clean fingers and work it into my skin and then dry brush, meaning I go over it with a clean brush. Or if I'm using Becca Ultimate Cover Creme, I use my beauty blender to sheer it out a bit. For CC creams, tinted moisturizers, I avoid beauty blended because I don't want to take any coverage away. I use my fingers and then dry brush to make sure it's blended properly.

I stipple my foundation in too and I feel it gives me the most coverage but still looks like skin :)

I've tried using a flat top brush but it pretty much soaked up all the product and there was nothing left to put on my face!! 😭

If I want a more full coverage I use the Real Techniques sponge on the flat side and if I want a more of a lighter coverage I'll use a stippling brush.

I found that with some flat top brushes, Stef. Then I tried the It Cosmetics flat top buffing brush and it doesn't soak up hardly any product. Like I wipe it off after I use it and the tissue is nearly clean. I dot the foundation on my face and tap it in, then go in with my buffing brush to give it an airbrush look.

I use a stippling brush as well :) I find that if you use a full coverage foundation it really helps to give a smooth even finish without any cakeyness.

Well, I use Maybelline's Fit Me foundation, for starters. I wet a beauty blender and then squeeze all water out so its damp. I then pour some foundation on something (usually the counter) and I dab the blender into the makeup. I then proceed to apply it in a stippling motion on a clean and well moisturized face. I then dab powder on with a flat sponge on my t zone and conceal any spots with concealer and use the blender and dab it in. Use a setting spray an arm's length away and viola! Job Well Done!??

I use my beauty blender to place it all over my face and then go in with a big fluffy brush to blend it out. This gives it an airbrushed look.

I use IT Cosmetics Blurring Foundation Brush (IT Brushes for Ulta) for my most seamless airbrushed look.

The It Cosmetics brushes are through the roof expensive...also very good quality. Its your decision whether you want to spend the amount they ask for for the kind of quality you get.
