The only problem I have with the sponge is that it soaks up so much makeup so you use more. When I use the brush it uses way less makeup & by doing that saves me money so I can buy more makeup :icon_wink
i use my fingers, iv tried sponges and i dont like them at all and i dont like the smell of them either! i was thinking about trying a brush but i dont wanna spend more time doing my make-up.
I always use my brush. It gives a much smoother finish I think. I just put a "little" foundation on the back of my hand and use that as my palette. Then I dab my brush in it and apply evenly to my face. I do however use a sponge at the end to blend my foundation along my jawline and hairline.
i used to use a sponge and fingers once in a while, but now i started using a foundation brush, i am liking it so far, gives a good finish, i used it with cream and liquid foundation, works well for both.
