Foundation application - sponge, brush or fingers?

[MarioandLuigi]

Which is best?

brush and then press down with fingers to 'fix' it. finish with pressed powder.

I find my fingers give the most even and blended application. Foundation tends to look more cakey when I use a sponge or brush.

I use fingers, no idea whether this is "right" or not - I did use a sponge but found I was going through foundation a lot quicker. Plus I could never be bothered to was the sponge (((minger emoticon)))

Brush.

revolutionised my life.

Alright I'm exaggerating. Slightkly.

I would usually say fingers for a natural finish, brush for a long-lasting one.

I find if you dampen the brush slightly it reduces the cake effect. Dampening the sponge does the same thing and also stops it guzzling your foundation.
Although different foundations will react differently to different methods of application too depending on oil content etc...

Superbalanced by Clinique is the only one I've found that goes on well with all three ways.
