How do you apply your foundation???

Its strange isn't it... Foundation is one of those things that most of us use on a daily basis but its one thing we all put on in different ways.


In my make up and brush collection, I have 4 different brushes that over the past year/couple of years I have used to apply foundation. 

Real Techniques Buffing Brush
This is a brush I used religiously when I got my core collection but took a back seat when I got my expert face brush. This brush has soft bristles which allow you to get a good buff on your foundation. I recently went back to using this brush and I have fallen in love all over again. 

Real Techniques Expert Face Brush
This brush is again one that has seen some serious love. Unlike the buffing brush it has shorted more compact bristles which allow you to get a good buff on with a more stiff buff (if that makes sense) 

No 7 Foundation Brush
I have to admit I have never really been a fan of this type of brush to put my foundation on. I have used it to blend concealer but its foundation applying days were quite short lived. 

Real Techniques Stippling Brush 
My first experience of the Real Techniques brushes. Again a brush which saw much love in its time and parted only because of the introduction of the buffing brush. I use this one now to blend in cream blushes. 

These are just a small number of ways to blend in foundation. Obviously the other most easy way and cheap way to blend foundation in is to use your hands. Great if your in a rush or on the go. I have also seen a lot of people using things like the beauty blender which look great online but not something I have ever used myself.
