Do you HAVE to use the sponge that comes with the compact or can you use a brush instead?

Question

because that's what i tried, but the brush applies NOTHING. do i have to get mineral powder for the brush to actually work? because the sponge was too cakey.

Answer 1

BRUSH RULEZ!

1. Cleaner, for the face and the brush. Prevent clog pores and breakouts.

2. More economical, you will realise that your palette last longer with a brush.

3. A more even coverage.

Be sure to get a good brush, either Chanel or Mac. A professional brush uses better hair for the brush and softer on the skin, as to not to inflame the skin.

Answer 2

haha you can use WHATEVER you want :) i never use brushes or things that come with makeup really haha

you dont need no technique! just apply it in a circular motion till it blends in well and ur done!

Answer 3

actually you break out less if you use a brush.. the sponge tends to log up your pores more.. i dont think you need to use mineral powder to work you just need to work on your technique..it took me sometime to but..you will break out much less

Answer 4

it doesnt matter.

Answer 5

You do not need to use that filthy object. brushes are the way to go.

Answer 6

It is actually more sanitary if you use a brush because sponges are breeding grounds for bacteria but with a brush, your more likely to wash it everytime it gets a little dirty. Hope that helps!

Answer 7

umm for foundation there is a foundation brush for it and the way to do it is dot it first under your eyes then a lil dot on each section of your face, then brush it downwards to even it out. and then use a powder brush and that goes downwards as well with a nice swift motion all over...for blush you need a blush brush as well and you need to smile first, and then go left to right and right to left from the start of your cheekbone and upwards towards your hair...not too much though! and no you dont need to use a mineral powder. you have to get a really good brush to have it catch the stuff and apply...i suggest mac brushes and smashbox
