How to apply foundation

[WigglyBraddins]

Calling all beauticians & make up artists...

The beautician I go to, who is great, says I shouldn't apply foundation with my finger tips. She's tried to sell me recommended I buy a stubby brush for stippling my foundation on (in a 1990s stencilling style) to get a "more polished look". But she's said a normal make up sponge or foundation brush will do. I'm sceptical that this is just another thing to clutter up my make up bag that I don't really need BUT I could be convinced that fingertips are bad.

What do you think?

Thank you :)

Just a quick update:

I bought the Real Techniques stippling brush & I live it! It actually does give a more polished finish. And looking at videos on YouTube was an excellent suggestion. Thank you all :)

I use fingers and was told by my friend who was training to be a beautician that it was fine to do that but the trick is to pat it onto your face and don't smear it on. Mine is currently a mix of BB cream and body shop foundation.
