It does well with a dense buffing brush or beauty sponge or blender I just use the beauty sponge triangles and pounce it on.

I always use the real techniques sponge and it gives me a really pretty finish :)

You have really beautiful skin! I would dot it on your face and use a flat top buffing brush to pat it onto your skin. Patting motions, not circular. Then if you need more coverage, apply it to those areas and use a damp beauty blender to bounce it onto your skin. You could just use the beauty blender- keep in mind you will get a sheerer finish with that tool. Play around- you will find a way that works for you. It's a great foundation- you will love it :)

Thank you girls! I think I might use a sponge first to be safe and I'll try a buffing brush next time!

And thank you Jenni, I hope so! :)

I would use a foundation buffing brush like Real Techniques Buffing Brush. Something not too dense where it will be harder to blend, but dense enough to maintain the full coverage but still be able to blend it out seamlessly. Make sure you prime well and dot the foundation on one area at a time. This foundation dries a littler faster than most and can be harder to blend. Also, applying one area at a time gives you the room to blend it out to the other parts of your face if you apply too much to one area. If you dot it all over your face at the same time, then you realize that you've applied too much, you're stuck with too much foundation allover your face. Sure, you can keep buffing til you sheer it out, but that's annoying and doesn't give the same results as if you applied the right amount in the first place.

Thank you Marleen! Does this foundation mix well with other foundations? Eg, like the L'Oréal true match? The lady at the store matched me to 2n1 and I'm so scared to even try it on In case I hate it and it's too pink cause I can't return it lol! I did notice when I was swatching some shades that they dry super quickly so I'll definitely have to work quickly and In one spot at a time haha. :)

I haven't mixed it with that foundation. But consider, when mixing with a different formula, you could create a different finish or change the coverage and of course the long wearing feature of the Double Wear may be affected. I personally don't have a problem with foundation wear time because of my very dry skin, but everyone is different. If you're trying to get a perfect match, consider getting another shade of the Double Wear.

Thank you :) ill probably use it up regardless just figured I'd ask but I'm sure your right about it changing the finish, the only way for me to know if I like it is to try it on I guess haha :)

Doublewear has been my holy grail for ages now! For my skin, I find that personally the beauty blenders gives me the most smooth finish, and the most coverage however still not making the foundation seem to heavy! If applying with a brush, I reccomend using a dense brush, such as the morphe M439 :)
