Hi lovelies!! I wanna know how you apply foundation with a foundation brush I've never done it before but am always seeing people look flawless and they always say that's what they do! How does it not look streaky? Thanks in advance :)!

Depends what kind of brush you use too , I love my flat kabuki brush by sigma but I use a stippling brush or my beauty blender sometimes too

And I have a flat one but do you put the foundation on by hands first and then smooth it with the brush or dip the brush in the foundation and put it on?? So confused lol :P.

@Jamie, for applying liquid foundations with a brush, usually you apply the foundation to your face. streak some across your cheeks, forehead, chin, nose.. whenever you need coverage, then buff (move the brush in circular motions) the foundation into the skin until it's all blended out (:

Personally I put it on something with a flat surface ( clean it every time ) and I dip it in and buff it on my face. I don't like using my hands because I'm scared I might've touched something without knowing and it's on my face lol.

I swear I switch up the tool I use to do my foundation everyday.
Lately I've been using a flat top kabuki, and I buff it into my face. Basically just go in little circles all over until everything looks smooth and even :-) I've really been liking the results lately.

For light coverage : A stippling brush
For medium : A buffing brush ( like the flat top kabuki )
For heavy: the flat foundation brush.
You can always use the flat one for full coverage and then take a bit of foundation with the buffing brush to help it look more flawless.
