I saw that episode too, so now I don't feel bad about using my fingers.Originally Posted by liquidlinernote /img/forum/go_quote.gif
When Mary Greenwell guested on Lisa Eldridge's YouTube channel, she said the same thing. She said brushes and sponges were a waste of product and likely to be covered in bacteria. I will say that I've noticed a little foundation goes a very long way when I'm applying it with my fingertips, but if I use the same amount with a sponge or brush, I need at least twice the same amount.
I also found that if I rub my foundation into the skin like a skin cream, I get a more natural finish. Sponges are a headache and brushes seem to give me an uneven look. It's probably because I'm not using them properly, but if my fingers work really well, I don't see the point in bothering with learning how to use a brush.
I've heard wonders about that Real Techniques brush! But everytime I try a brush to apply my foundation on it's just too rough on my skin /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />Originally Posted by SistaPlease /img/forum/go_quote.gif
there isnt a right or wrong way, and i really think it depends mostly on the type of foundation you are using and the coverage you want. i use to apply my foundations with my fingers and that worked fine, but i liked the coverage that i was able to get when i used a brush. i generally use my ELF Flat top powder brush or my Real Techniques Expert Face Brush to get a nice flawless finish. I have never liked using sponges. I think they do soak up too much product and the few times I have messed with my beauty blender, I just couldnt make my foundation look good.
