Foundation brushes have somehow fallen to the wayside ever since foundation sponges came along. But if you’re looking for precision and coverage, sponges are sometimes known to remove a lot of the product and can leave you looking a little splotchy if you’re not careful. However, we know how foundation brushes can sometimes be a little intimidating as well as there’s so many different kinds out in the market. When you use the incorrect brush, you can end up with a very streaky finish. But nowadays, brush technology has improved so much that you can find one that works perfectly for your products, for a beautiful, flawless finish.
A foundation brush can give you a notable more even, smooth, and ultimately skin-like finish. In fact, don’t even take our word for it. See what people like you, who tried foundation brushes, have to say about them. Foundation brushes can be used for every type of foundation – liquid, cream, or powder.
Tips on how to use foundation brushes
- Use the back of your hand as a palette and dab the brush into the liquid
- Apply only a small amount to the end of the brush and lightly blend the foundation onto the face and neck area, starting from the top center of your face and working your way outwards
- Use long sweeping downward strokes, following the natural direction of hair growth
