Come on my lovely knowledgable people
Fingers? Brush? Sponge blender?

I use brush (real techniques) and then a beauty blender sponge to go over and smooth it out. Make sure beauty blender is damp!

I moisturise my face, then put 4 big dabs of foundation on my face using my fingers and use a damp beauty bender to spread it out.

I find brushes leave me with brush strokes and I end up using the BB anyways so I just cut out the middle man (plus one less brush to clean)

For me it depends what foundation I'm using but generally I use a stippling brush and then sort of press into the skin with a beauty blender to finish.

For concealer I press on a small amount with a flat brush and then blend the edges with a small stippling brush or finger if it's harder to blend.

I use a beauty blender to apply foundation. I have used a brush and it was alright, but did go over with a beauty blender after and didn't see the point to use a brush that I'll need to clean if I just use a beauty blender anyway.

Fingers for me

Beauty blender sponge all the way for me. I find it applies much better than with brushes.

Stippling brush or kabuki brush. I love the effect of a sponge blender but I hate how they get stained and take ages to clean.
I buy Morphe brushes: they’re cheap and good quality.
