Yes you can use sponges or brushes to apply your foundation. The finish of the makeup sometimes depends on the tools that you use to apply your makeup.Can you use a cosmetic sponge or a foundation brush to apply liquid foundation instead of your fingers?

of course! using your fingers makes you press more foundation onto the skin in clumps, using a brush or sponge, this distributes it evenly amoung your skin. ccuz when ur using your fingers u naturally press down harder therefore- not even and blotchy
yes, brush is how professionals do it
your supposed to.
yes i use a brush it works great

What the best way to put on liquid foundation?
what is the best way to put it on evenly without wasting it. i used the foam triangle things but it soaked all my make-up up. what should i use?What the best way to put on liquid foundation?
maybe you should use a brush. that way it doesnt soak up all your foundationWhat the best way to put on liquid foundation?
A brush, but it really depends on how much coverage you need. I have pretty moderate acne to cover up, and a foundation brush was just way too much coverage for me and I looked like a doll. So I now use just a blush brush with it and it looks sooo much nicer it just lightly brushes it on.
A foundation brush with synthetic hair is the best thing for you. Synthetic hair doesn't absorb any of the product at all. Just squirt out a pump of your foundation, dip your brush in it, then dot the foundation around your face, then blend them all together. Good luck!
I've had this problem too.
Put on foundation first, unless you put on cover up. Do cover up first, then foundation. NO OTHER MAKEUP BEFORE!
Or try using a brush. MAC has some good ones, but the foam triangles should work fine...
Then apply powder, and eye makeup.
(: I hope this helps!
Use a makup brush for applying liquid foundation. MAC has a great one, expensive but worth it. Clean with shampoo after each use.
Then BLOT the face with a kleenex and then apply powder.
Your hands. Wash them before and after. Squirt a little into your hands and rub it in, if you need more then put some more on your hands.origins

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.
Hoped i helped ~ %26lt;3 %26lt;3 %26lt;3
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.
a sponge.
like the ones for make up
a disposable sponge
sponge for liquid..

Why do i get a burning sensation around my eyes occasionally when i apply liquid foundation around it?
The areas tend to turn a little red after that. Also, is make-up base important before applying make-up?Why do i get a burning sensation around my eyes occasionally when i apply liquid foundation around it?
It could be, and is highly likely, that your skin is being irritated due to your foundation (or whatever products cause this). Try to get products that say ';hypoallergenic'; on the label. These products will cause little to no irritation.
As for primers, I'd say yes. They keep your skin hydrated and moisturized. I use one. I have noticed a difference in makeup application and in my skin's health. I break out less and my makeup goes on smoother.
I hope that helps. :DWhy do i get a burning sensation around my eyes occasionally when i apply liquid foundation around it?
You could be allergic to it! May I suggest clinique! I am very sensible.. so they even suggest what's best for you and your skin and around your eyes! it's a bit pricy though!
You might be allergic to it see your doctor or you might change brands

What is the best liquid foundation?
Hey guys
what is the best liquid foundation that doesnt look cakey and thick on your skin?
Preferably products that aren't too expensive.What is the best liquid foundation?
I myself use Covergirl..I know a lot of people wear Bare Minerals, but I like to stick to my liquid foundation....What is the best liquid foundation?
My favourite foundation that I would recommend to everyone is Maybelline Dream Satin Liquid. It gives a really natural, flawless finish and is very light on your skin. It also lasts very well and is a reasonable price. Hope this helps =)
Kay,
Recommend what I use:
Moisturize if you have normal skin
http://www.coonobabe.com/moisture_base.h鈥?/a>
Savila for oily
http://www.coonobabe.com/savila_base.htm鈥?/a>
they are good, don't cake on you (assuming you know how to apply it in thin layer), and they ship it 4 free. Hope this helps
Best liquid foundation is MAC makeup , its expensive but its great. If you are looking for cheaper makeup Neutrogena and CoverGirl are the best.

Whats The best way to apply Liquid Foundation So my face doesnt look oily/shinny?
I use liquid Foundation every day in the beginning it great but like after an hour my face gets really oily and shinny. Then the Foundations starts to flake off
What do I do to stop this?
ThanksWhats The best way to apply Liquid Foundation So my face doesnt look oily/shinny?
Buy t-zone from Lancome..it's like $22 dollars. You put this on before you put your makeup and it will stay matt. Also, buy those oil blotting sheets. Clean %26amp; Clear sells them for $7.
Good luck!Whats The best way to apply Liquid Foundation So my face doesnt look oily/shinny?
I think that you are putting to much stuff on and try rubbing it in your hands first... OTher wise try a powder...
I have this problem when I moisturize to much or use a certain foundation. I would suggest to try a different brand of foundation or let your moisturizer set for 20 mins before applying foundation and blot the foundation on with a sponge. Through out the day possibly try clean and clear oil absorbing sheets to tame oil and shine. Good luck!=)
What type of instrument do you use to apply your foundation? I highly recommend using a foundation brush rather than a sponge or your fingertips (which can make the face oily). Lancome make a fantastic foundation brush that can easily be washed with soap and water after each use (which will help curb the oil problem you experience). Also, consider a lighter weight foundation such as Lancome's Color Ideal.
http://www.lancome-usa.com/makeup/founda鈥?/a>
Sometimes when using too heavy of a foundation formula (or simply too much) you can experience the ';flaky'; effect. Hope this helps! And yes ... I LOVE Lancome products! Ha ha!
First of all, you should make sure that your liquid foundation is for oily skin or prevents oil breakouts. The problem here could be also that you are applying more than needed. The best option for you and your wallet is to get a foundation brush. Why is this the best? Because the foundation brush applies the foundation much easier and more effectively and it also uses less and covers in a much better way. The best way of using it is squeezing a little bit of foundation on the top of your hand or wrist. Pat the brush on it and start applying starting from the top of your face in a downward direction. It's important that you do it downward cause it covers more and seals the pores and the whole application. If you need to moisten your brush, just put a little more in your hand and do it again. You will be amazed with how much foundation this will save, as opposed to using a sponge. A sponge is just gonna over-apply, gunk it up and absorb all the foundation you can save! After this, it's important that you seal your foundation with a loose powder. This is what helps it last longer and eliminates the sheen and oiliness. If your skin is naturally oily it is normal that usually in some areas even after the foundation application that it will get shiny again. It's always best to have a compact powder to touch up your foundation, so it can always be flawless and you will never appear to be oily. I hope this helps!
I am not a fan of liquid foundation I switched to tinted moisturizer. It give you a touch of color while still doing something good for your skin. I use Neutrogena Healthy Skin Enhancer take a look at it http://www.neutrogena.com/CosmeticsDetai鈥?/a>
It has actually helped me fight off zits even before they have time to become large and obnoxious.
I love it, I think you will too, try it.
make sure your applying the foundation on clean skin and you aren't moisturing too much. It could be that your not using a good enough foundation. MAC has excellent foundations, and they can recommend wich one is best for you based on your skin type. Other than that try using a finishing powder over your foundation. MAC blot powder is really good. But it sounds like you have bad foundation.
Have you tried using a makeup pad instead of your hands? You can get them at CVS or Brooks or something for maybe 2 bucks. Put a little on the pad, and dab it into your skin, don't rub %26amp; smear.Also, you should try a pressed powder. It keeps your face fro looking oily. I don't know how I ever got along without it. Just swipe it on after you put on your foundation. Here's a link in case you aren't sure what it is.
http://www.thefind.com/beauty/browse-May鈥?/a>
hmm, powder doesn't work? What if you switched over to JUST powder. Maybe it is the makeup you're using. You could also buy oil blotting sheets. I've never personally used them, because I'm cheap, ha, but my friend has them. She said they work great for her. Maybe you should change your face wash also. Buy one made for oily skin. Some of this probably goes beyond just the makeup you're using.
Oh and for the flaky thing... it could be dry skin. I know, you're probably thinking that since your skin is so oily, there is no way it's dry. It can be. Put a good face cream on at night. That way you don't look shiny during the day wearing it, and the dry skin will go away.
You can put on an oil control moisturizer before you apply the foundation.
But if you have naturally oily/combo skin there is not much you can do. My #1 suggestion is to purchase MAC's Blot powder ($20 will last a LONG time). It really controls the shine for at least 4-5 hours at a time. If you don't want to make such a big purchase at least invest in oil blotting sheets (clean and clear makes ok ones). Dab those on every couple hours and voila shine is removed.
Unfortunately, there is not a lot you can do to to stop it completely, you just have to manage it.
DONT!!!!
unless your face is covered in wrinkles don't use it!
use bare minerals, its the best stuff i have ever used!
if you must wear the liquid stiff put some on your pointer and middle finger and rub it around, very very very lightly, dont make it heavey, then very carefully use a brush just to rub it in and to get any extra off your face that could, throughout the day, flake and get all over your clothes and everything else you face comes in contact with.
hope i could help
put some on your finger and dab it on dont wipe or smear or try to blend it too mcuh b/c then it will luk crazy
I would try an oil-control lotion before putting on makeup. This will make your makeup last longer. I have oily skin (extremely) and have found oil control lotions the answer. Try one with Salicylic Acid in it!
