Does it matter depending on the type of foundation or your skin type, or is it just a personal preference thing?
Do you use fingers, sponges, or brushes?

Its all a preference. I have tried different brushes, sponges, using fingers, and this just always works better for me.

Okay I didn't know if you were supposed to choose based on the type of foundation or what. I've never used a sponge I use a brush or fingers :)

I either use a dupe for the beauty blender or my real techniques expert face brush

It's a personal preference. I use a flat foundation brush to dot the foundation on my face then I use the Real Techniques beauty blender dupe to blend it out. Sometimes I use a stippling brush instead of the sponge.

It definitely depends on the actual foundation I am using but my favorite tools are the f80 from sigma and the beauty blender!

I use my finger and a sponge. I find I get the most coverage that way:)

I use a beauty blender or a sigma f80. It's a personal preference but I find almost every foundation applies better with some sort of application tool

I use sponges and my fingers, but I recently ordered brushes, which I got like a 32pcs set hopefully they are good since I paid little to nothing.. but definitely brushes do make you look flawless..

I use the sigma f80! It's hands down the best brush I've ever used for applying liquid foundation. I love it! It blends everything so flawlessly

I use makeup wedge sponges and I use a new one every time I apply(:

Its always personal preference but its more beneficial to use a tool of some sort rather than fingers as the oils in you fingers can mess with the formulas. Not to mention there's a lot of waste that happens with that. Brush or reusable sponge of some sort can be cost effective in itself just by not wasting as much foundation as you would without a tool.

I love the size/ density of that brush because it gives anywhere from sheer to full coverage. Its technically a blush brush but there's no right or wrong. I have used it on at least 15 people a day for almost a year and its still going strong!! My favorite hands down
