How to Apply Foundation
Flat Top Kabuki Brush
Flat top kabuki brushes are my favourite style of brush for applying foundation, they are quick and easy to use and give a smooth, uniform coverage to the skin. They blend product well and help to give a seamless, perfected finish.
Flat Paddle Foundation Brush
Flat, paddle foundation brushes are one of the most common and well-known brushes for applying foundation, they are generally used in a βpaintingβ motion and are good for building up coverage.
Beauty Blender
Beauty blenders are a very popular tool and method used for foundation, although not my personal preference I can see why some love it. A beauty blender is best for slowly building up coverage and when used with high and full coverage foundations. Beauty blenders are usually βbouncedβ on the skin to build up coverage, they can be time-consuming, but if you have the patience they can create an airbrushed finish to the skin.
Fingers
People often discount fingers as a suitable tool for applying foundation, but theyβre one of my favourites. For starters there is less wastage of product, you can really work the foundation into the skin or you can simply βtapβ for a gorgeous full coverage. I love using fingers to create a variety of different variations of coverage, plus the warmth of your skin helps to warm up the product and look more natural. As long as your fingers are clean and dry, you shouldnβt encounter too many problems.
