I never have any luck with my foundation making my skin have that air brushed look. I know it's harder to do when you're not professional or using photo shop obviously lol. But does anyone have any suggestions or advice on how to make it look really smooth and blend better with my blush? Thanks :)

You can find it at sephora too, there's a set online with teo of the sponges and the cleaner for a good price :) sephora also has airbrush foundation brushes #55 and #56, they're both super awesome too

Use a silicone-based foundation primer to give your skin a really smooth surface so that your foundation can blend easily on the skin. Also, apply a light layer of powder over your foundation to set it, and your blush and bronzer will blend out better too.

I wouldn't use your hands. A lot of people have no problem using their hands, but it transfers a lot of extra germs and not to mention is quite messy. I second the Beauty Blender idea. Make sure you use it damp though, as using a dry Beauty Blender is quite similar as using a brick on your face. You can find videos about Beauty Blender techniques all over Youtube.

Try using a stippling brush to apply your foundation or apply with your fingers then use a Beaty blender and smooth it out! :)

For blush if you want a more dewy look use cream blushes.

Try a beauty blender it will change the way your foundation looks. I can't use brushes to apply foundation it just doesn't look natural on my face at least.
