There are so many types of foundations, and ways to apply it. One of my classmates asked me how to apply foundation. Through our conversation, I learned that she was taking this family communication class as a requirement in becoming a police officer! Some women (like her) have never become interested in makeup until they realize the benefits of wearing makeup in their career. Others, like me, have been using makeup to conceal imperfections since they were preteens. Here is how to apply foundation:
Fingers are what everyone is blessed with and usually start with. Use clean fingers so you don't apply germs to your delicate skin. Fingers are great to blend in moisturizers, BB creams, primers, or foundations. They can even rub off too much blush, wipe away stray eyeliner, or pat creased eye shadow out.
Sponges are a great way to apply foundation. Sponges have evolved from the disposable wedges to a reusable egg shaped sponge. These new sponges have so many advantages and are best used when moist. I have found the best way to use is when I wash my face to get the sponge soaking wet then and squeeze out all of the water and set it to the side of the sink while I moisturize and brush out my hair. Use clean fingers to dab foundation on forehead and cheeks. Bounce the sponge across the face to apply foundation, using the small tip around eyes and nose.
Stippling brushes claim to offer an airbrushed appearance. They commonly feature black hairs with fewer white synthetic hairs sticking out. Use the brush to tap foundation into your skin and swirl the brush to blend it well. I found a way to apply foundation is to tap the bristles into my wet palm before tapping into foundation.
Paddle brush is an old stand by for applying foundation. It smears the foundation across skin, but doesn't offer much blending ability, I often found myself using fingers to blend edges and little areas around my eyes and nose. I picked up my ELF brush for $1.
Kabuki brushes are a must for buffing mineral foundations into skin. They usually are bigger and denser brush with a short handle that makes buffing easier.
