Using a brush to apply liquid foundation can give you a smooth, airbrushed finish. Read on for the best way to apply liquid foundation with a brush.

How to Apply Liquid Foundation with a Brush

Step 1: Prep your skin

Cleanse and moisturize your skin and apply primer to create a smooth, even base for your foundation.

Step 2: Dot foundation onto your face

Apply small dots of foundation to your forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin.

Step 3: Blend the foundation

Use a brush to blend the foundation outward from the center of your face. Be sure to blend in all areas, including your hairline, jawline, and neck.

Using a sponge to apply liquid foundation can give you a more natural finish. Here’s how to do it:

How to Apply Liquid Foundation with a Sponge

Step 1: Dampen your sponge

Wet your sponge with water and squeeze out the excess.

Step 2: Apply foundation to the sponge

Dot foundation onto the sponge.

Step 3: Blend the foundation

Use the sponge to blend the foundation onto your face, using a bouncing motion. Be sure to blend in all areas, including your hairline, jawline, and neck.

No brush or sponge on hand? No worries. Using your fingers to apply liquid foundation can give you a sheer, natural finish.

How to Apply Liquid Foundation with Your Fingers

Step 1: Prep your hands and foundation

Start with clean, dry hands. Dot a small amount of foundation onto the back of your hand and rub it between your fingers to warm it up.

Step 2: Apply foundation to your face

Use your fingers to apply the foundation to your face, starting in the center and blending outward.

Step 3: Blend the foundation

Use your fingers to blend the foundation into your skin, using a circular motion. Be sure to blend in all areas, including your hairline, jawline, and neck.

The best way to apply liquid foundation depends on your personal preference and skin type. A brush can help you achieve a full coverage look, while a sponge is better for a lighter, more natural look. As far as using a tool rather than using your fingers, if you have oily skin, you may prefer to use a brush or sponge to apply your foundation, as these tools can help to absorb excess oil. If you have dry skin, you may prefer to use your fingers to apply your foundation to avoid removing moisture from your skin.
