Should you apply liquid foundation with your hands or with a brush?

I'm gonna buy the Cover Girl TruBelnd Liquid Makeup and I was just wondering if I should buy a brush too.Should you apply liquid foundation with your hands or with a brush?
Don't listen to the other people, using a sponge to apply your face makeup is bad because the sponge harbors TONS of bacteria and gross stuff. It's just nasty. Using your hands could work but make sure they are clean or you'll just be transferring bacteria to your face.


You should buy a foundation brush, it'll give you flawless, even application and it's MUCH more sanitary than hands or a sponge.Should you apply liquid foundation with your hands or with a brush?
I use to think that the sponge was the way to apply your liquid foundation until I tried the foundation brush. I would definitely recommend it… and it does not get your hands dirty. Report Abuse

I would personally use your fingers. Unless you wanted to spend the 410-$15 to buy a foundation brush. You should know though, that Cover Girl test their products on animals, so if you're fine with that go ahead and buy it, but if you're one of those people who are against people putting chemicals onto animals that burn their skin, then go to this website: http://search.caringconsumer.com/ they have a list of all the brands that DO test on animals and a list that DO NOT :)
I recommend either using a brush or sponges.





If you are going to use a brush you have to purchase the right kind of brush. Get a foundation brush.





If you are going to use a sponge get wedges. They have better angle and blends in really well and easily. Just first dip the wedges sponge into water then apply a pea size of foundation on the wedge.





Never use you hands to apply foundation.


don't really count on your hands to give you a dewy finish.


%26amp; your hands contains oil and when you touch your face a lot, the oils from your hands will clog your pores.

Between those two options I would def. say a brush! Now remember if you use a brush you have to clean it; I would say once a week. Here are some brush recommendations:





190 Foundation Brush from Mac


Brush Cleanser from Mac


188 Small Duo Fibre Face Brush from Mac ( this is for after applying the liquid foundation with a foundation brush / you use this one to smooth out any streaks and blend in the foundation for a lightweight seamless look)
I just use my hands to apply foundation. I had that exact brand and didn't notice any problem using my fingers to apply the foundation. If it appears streaky after you apply you might want to use a brush to smooth it out but any brush that spans a larger area would do the job. I don't feel as if you need a brush.





Hope this helped :]
Your fingers are the best make up tool


just make sure it's sanitized before you touch your face :)


butt i believe the finish you achieve from using your fingers is different compared to using a brush...so you might want to try both methods and see which one suits you best
you should use it with your hands not a brush or if you just want to use a brush use a concealer brush but if you use a liquid foundation and its summer time it will slide and melt on your face.
Using a brush ends up saving you a lot of makeup. When you use your fingers to apply makeup, you waste a lot.
I use a sponge wedge. The foundation goes on seamlessly. Don't forget to blend towards your hairline, ears and toards the neck to avoid those telltale borders.
Neither, use a cosmetic sponge for even coverage and no mess on your hands.
You need makeup sponges. They sell them in the makeup area.
i use a kabuki brush instead of foundation brush, it works great. it looks more natural than when i use a sponge.
Apply it with a stiff penis
not a brush.
