Hi all you MUA girls :)

I am looking to buy real makeup brushes, but now I don't know what foundation brush is the best! What do you guys use? And what do you recommend me using?

(Info: I don't use foundation, but I use a brush like no to apply my BB creme)

I have used both but I find my foundation comes out more airbrushed and natural looking with number 2

Oh Traci, I was hoping you would see this :) You just know everything!!

As I was reading about the different brushes, it did say that the second brush gave a more airbrushed look, but I wasn't sure if it would do the same with just a BB creme! It always said that the second brush could be used for powders.. Do you use it for that as well?

What is a stipling brush Valeria and Traci :)

That second brush is a flat top brush elf won't last as long but who cares it is 3 bucks I like it better than some stipple brushes cause its more dense an your product stays on it an does not slide down thru the bristles.Stipple brushes usually have less tight bristels

I can't put up a pic b/c my phone is being crazy but it's like that flat top 2nd brush but with the bristles varying in length. look up on Google...it is literally amazing!! I just started doing it and people always ask how my skin is so beautiful.

Have you tried the new sponge brushes? They are amazing!

For BB cream I prefer my fingers, because the warmth helps kinda 'melt' the bb cream. For clients I use a stippling brush.

I don't really like using my fingers Kathryn :/ I really do prefer a brush!

Aww, Sabrina, nothing better (/cleaner) than your own freshly washed and sanitized hands! Ha ha. Understandable though, to beach their own <3.
