Do you apply foundation with fingers?

[normastits5]

Just that really? I do but getting tired of having to wash hands again after having already showered etc. What do others use to apply their foundation? I used to use those triangle sponges but there's probably a better solution I'm sure?

A brush is by far the best way.

A damp beauty blender.

I use those beauty blender sponges, fingers are far too messy for me plus it ends up everywhere but my face

A brush, my current favourite is a stippling brush.

Many thanks, I wonder why boots are not stocking beauty blender? It's sold out on line and have no plans to restock?

I use a flat topped kabuki brush, it's revolutionised the way I use foundation, no more streaks or losing half the foundation in a sponge!

Brush. Fingers add oil to the face, dont distribute product evenly and you use lots more foundation.

Definitely a brush

A brush here too. I've seen others use fingers and have tried it myself,but it never looks even.I can't blend well with fingers. I can't even blend well with beauty blenders!

Would you use same for cc cream, tinted moisturiser ?

I use my fingers
Have tried sponges and brushes and feel it doesn't blend plus use loads more product

I use DW and find a sponge is best. I use a tiny amount each time and it blends really well.

I use fingers, as I can't be bothered to keep washing a brush/sponge. Plus, I prefer the finish I get with fingers.

Occasionally I finish it off with a damp beauty blender.

The downside is that I always seen to have foundation dried under my nails. Really gross actually: need to sort it out!

I use my fingers because it helps melt the foundation into my skin whereas I find brushes just leave it sitting on top of my skin like it's been painted on and doesn't feel like part of my skin.

I use brushes or my fingers when i have forgotten to wash the brushes

Doesn't the beauty blender just absorb a lot of your foundation?

Use the beauty blender. It's good and you don't get the streaky look you do with fingers or brushes.

In answer to the previous poster yes it will absorb some but hey-ho.

Fingers.

Much better finish and easier to wash hands than to faff around washing a foundation brush.

Beauty blender reminds me of a stippling paint finish. Not a fan.

Fingers. Always.
Glides on smoothly, can get into all the little nooks and crannies around my eyes/nose, blends into my skin better etc.
Brushes always make me look like I’m wearing a caked on mask and I’m too lazy to be arsed with brush maintenance.
Sponges are slightly better but I can’t stand how much foundation they suck up and waste!

Fingers. No idea how to do it with a brush or sponge and know they would be riddled with bacteria instantly and I wouldn't wash them everyday.

I've got a beauty blender but have never used it damp - should I??

A stippling brush and then finish with (clean) fingers, the brush gets it into all fine lines and gives a better finish, the fingers ensure there are no missed bits.

I hated the beauty blender, I felt conned having forked out for that!

Depends on the foundation. Some need a brush, some a blender, some fingers.

I use Clinique double wear applied with this sponge www.superdrug.com/B-/B-Precision-Blending-Sponge/p/648708

The same. I read an article by a make-up artist who said that in order to make foundation look really natural and last a whole day, it was necessary to rub it in as much as possible, so it really bonds with your skin. I've been doing that since, and getting better results.
