I apply with my fingers as well. And the formula I use requires use of fingers. My foundation brush hasn't been used in years.lol.

I use my fingers to blend my highlight but I use a sponge for my foundation. If I didn't I'd have flawless looking hands and my face would be a total mess😜 lol

I do it all the time... I like to either apply my foundation with my fingers or Sigma kabuki brush f80 or f88 both work the same..

I do! I feel like the blending looks a lot more natural looking.

Fingers only... And who wants to wash a foundation brush daily?

I don't do it but its definitely not wrong.. I do apply bb cream with my fingers. at least for the one I use (maybelline dream fresh) I've found it to be best applied with my fingers. as for streaks I got those with cheap brushes but not with my Mac brush. I also loved the Mary Kay foundation brush for a short time. it eventually began to streak too, guess it wore out quickly.

I don't do the foundation because I have long nails and it gets yucky lol but I do put on concealer with my fingers it works great.

I'm guilty of it too I agree with allison "ain't nobody got time fo that!" seriously I would rather wash my hands a million times than take the time to clean my brushes daily - but I will use them for special occassions or if I have a lot of time on my hands to clean them.

I seriously use the e.l.f powder brush to apply foundation, and that's my favorite yet.I use my fingers when I want a lighter coverage, but I need more of a full coverage, & the brush is awesome. I bought 3 so I didn't need to wash daily. they're definitely more affordable! :)

Well I'll put it like this. When I work on my own face, I use my hands to apply foundation, then a brush to blend it in well. When I work on a client, I tend to use my brushes/sponges more. I just find it to be more professional. However, your hands are an artist's best tools.
