Personally I don't wear foundation, but I suggest you look at Wayne Goss on Youtube, he has a good tutorial.

I use a beauty blender some days and a brush when I'm in a hurry. Applying with hands looks streaky to me.

I use a stippling brush from coastal scents. I honestly think its all personal preference on how you apply it.

@jasmine do you like the beauty blender?

Yes. It actually looks really nice & natural. I used it when it very first came out & then stopped but had to come back to it. I think it uses less product too.

Stippling brush or just an ordinary foundation base brush... blending is the key! make sure you blend your foundation down onto your neck and chest too so that you have consistent coverage <3 Doesn't really matter where you start to apply the foundation tbh, just as long as everywhere is covered :) Try all different ways and see which way is best for you :) x

I use a real techniques face brush. Put foundation on both cheeks, forehead, chin and nose and then blend it in very well.

I just use my fingers to apply foundation :3
using your fingers heats up the products & makes it easier to blend & spread - I find I'm able to use a little less foundation this way.

I apply it with a foundation brush then I blend it with my fake beauty blender it give me a flawless look. Or my fingers then I go over it with my beauty blender.

It depends on the product and the look you're going for. For me, I like a buffing brush for a water based med-full coverage foundation. I like the beauty blender for moisterizing & oil based light to med coverage. I just use my fingers when using a cc cream.
And I always use my fingers with blender or brush. You just have to experiment on what works for you. Generally, the sponge will give you a sheerer coverage.
