That totally depends on what kind of foundation you're using!
Liquids - I would recommend using a stippling brush or a sponge like a Beauty Blender. Brushes include MAC 130, MAC 187, MAC 188, Sigma F50, and Sigma F55.
Cremes - Creme foundations generally work better with either a flat foundation brush or a damp sponge. Brushes include MAC 190, MAC 193, and Sigma F60.
Powders - I generally prefer using a kabuki-style brush for powder foundations. (I'm a die hard MAC Studio Fix Powder fan) My brush of choice is the Sigma F80 Flat Top Kabuki Brush.
Oh maybe that's where I went wrong. I used a flat foundation brush with my liquid foundation.Originally Posted by jaydhagberg /img/forum/go_quote.gif

You spoke of what to use with powder foundation but what brush would you recommend for loose powder? Just a blush brush? Also, what is the best way to clean a flat foundation brush?Originally Posted by jaydhagberg /img/forum/go_quote.gif

What about buffing it in?Originally Posted by vogueboy /img/forum/go_quote.gif
The proper way to use a flat foundation brush is to use it in a stippling motion. If you use a sweeping or a painting / brushing motion, you will get a streaky and uneven finish.
For loose powder, you can use a powder brush or a velour puff. Either way, you need to Tap off the excess powder before you apply it.
There are lots and lots of threads on the board on how to clean brushes.
Are you using mineral foundation?What about buffing it in?
Sometimes, but I use the BE brush. I meant for liquid though or BB cream XDOriginally Posted by MissLindaJean /img/forum/go_quote.gif
Are you using mineral foundation?
I use a fibre optic brush (MAC 187) as a buffing brush. (That was the original intention of it). Or you can use a kabuki brush for buffing. However mineral foundations are the only foundations that need to be buffed.What about buffing it in?
