Question

What is the best way to apply liquid foundation?

Answer 1

With a makeup sponge. I see it all the time on Style channel. Professionals do it i know.

Answer 2

With a foundation brush. It will spread the foundation evenly and will use less makeup than a sponge so your foundation will last longer.

Answer 3

I apply dots on each cheek, chin, nose and forehead then blend with a small thin flat sponge pad.

Answer 4

with a make-up sponge

this shape is best :) also you can apply conclear this way

NEVER use your hands or fingers, they contail an oil which makes the make-up not apply properly

Answer 5

put the pad on top of the opening then tip and spread evenly across face, or, put a dab of the liquid foundation on ur finger and do this about five times then put 1 dab on ur 4-head 1 dap on ur left cheek 1 dab on ur right cheek 1 dab on ur chin and 1 dab on ur nose hope i help! :)

Answer 6

In all honesty, don't bother with a foundation brush. These are great for really special events, but not for everyday use. You have to use a h**l of a lot to get it looking even, and still you will have to blend with your fingers, because the brush will leave tiny brushstrokes across your face! Brushes will give you an almost mask like look, and your foundation will look separate from your face...

Basically, use your fingers! Put some foundation on the tips of your fingers, then apply from the inside of your face to the outside. That way, you will have perfect coverage, and you can apply more to blemishes or patchy bits of skin.

Have fun!

Answer 7

1. Get a foundation brush like this one - http://www.maccosmetics.com/templates/pr...

2. Put on the top of ur hand just enough for ur face n ur neck

3. Use the brush to take frm ur hand to apply it on ur face

4. Use the brush to spread on ur cheeks, forehead, nose, upper lip and chin

Tip: Try mixing two colors of foundation on ur hands, or mix ur foundation with a shimmer liquid bronzer!

Answer 10

With a pad, foundation brush, or with your finger lightly, if its not greasy. then aply powder with a brush lightly so stop shine.

Answer 11

With a foundation brush.

Can get them at a drugstore, or any high end stores.

Start searching some reviews on makeupalley.com

And see whatcha find, with your budget.

But I don't suggest using a sponge, they feed on bacteria and cause break outs, and quite honestly, they're just nasty for your face!

And remember, washing brushes quite often is a must-do! It'll help your face in the long run, and your brush. You can get brush cleaners at stores too. Wonderful ideas. =) If all else fails, use your clean hands, and smear it on yah face, but i most suggest using a brush!

Answer 12

either with a good foundation brush or a diamond shaped sponge i find the best way to do it body shop retail good products or estee lauder. i have started using estee lauder products as they go on so evenly and look flawless

Answer 13

I would say to use a slighty damp make up sponge. Make up sponges remember have smaller pores than normal sponges. By using a slightly damp sponge, it is easier to spread the foundation.
