How Do You Apply Your Foundation?

I second with Eileen, I use the real techniques expert face brush to blend out my foundation on my skin daily, and this brush is seriously amazing. for 8.99 (at ulta) it's a better quality brush than many other high end ones, it doesn' shed at all it's very dense and soft and makes application of foundaiton super quick under two minutes and completely flawless. I also use this brush for powder, bronzer, blush, etc- it's very versitile and I love real techniques brushes. I won't go back to a different brand again! Sponges (TO ME) waste the product, that's why the beauty blender is supposed to be wet so it doesn't absorb your foundation, I think the same thing applies to all sponges even the ones that come with foundaitons..and the finish can be streaky or maybe that's just me- I don't know..but hope this helps :)

If you continue to use the sponge make sure you dampen it before application for more coverage.

Real.techniques and urban make really good buffing brushes, if you prefer a sponge try a beauty blender or beauty blender knockoff.

I vary my application for the eyes, either using a concealer brush (Bobbi browns) or the beauty blender. however on my face its the RTs stippling brush. oh man its flawless makeup and everyone thinks its natural not that I share the secret to them :)

I use the Tarte brush slightly damp and buff. It works well for me.

I use a nyx flat top stipple brush and a basic flat textured sponge.

Thanks I am definatly going to get it (: I like my ecotools one but I would like to try something new.

I wet a sponge, squeeze out some water, and then apply. It comes out so much more even and natural looking than a brush or used alone.

I had been using those triangular sponge applicators for a while, but when I ran out I decided to try an ELF foundation brush and I love it! The only thing is that it can sometimes be a pain to clean. You'll think you got it all, but then there's always a bit of foundation hiding in there that you've missed!

I use a Mac 187 for liquid foundation and a beauty blender for cream foundation. Works well for me.

I use a brush... I find that I use two times more product when applying with a sponge. but I sometimes like too pat a sponge on top on my brush applied foundation when I feel like I have put it on too thick:)

I use a foundation brush a sponge to blend but I use my fingers for bb cream as it gives the best finish for me.

I buy real techniques at ulta. I like the foundation brush and the stippling brush. I prefer a brush with dense bristles and a relatively flat surface on the ends. I find I get more coverage an less lines. But like anything else in make up its a preference.

The old fashion way works best for me I don't like brushes or sponges I use my hands and apply it like a cream always works best and looks natural no lines
