I usually put a little on the back of my hand and apply it with a foundation brush. Are there better ways?

You can always use a beauty blender.

Or just any makeup sponge

You can use a beauty blender, a few different kinds of brushes (stippling, flat top kabuki, etc.), your fingers.. just keep in mind each way of applying foundation will give you a different finish.

I'm assuming your using liquid by the way your applying it. I usually place my liquid foundation on my face then use a buffing brush to buff it in. :)

Stippling- fuller coverage, airbrush appearance
Flat foundation- can look streaky, lighter but even coverage
Flat top kabuki- between stippling and flat foundation because it can look cakey if not blended well but it does offer a fuller coverage vs the flat foundation.
Foundation sponge- I haven't used the beauty blender in my defense. I think this works well with dry skin is you wet the sponge, it can offer more so a dewy natural look because you can press it into the skin.

I assume you use liquid, but for cream I'd use a flat foundation
