Should I use a brush or a sponge to apply liquid foundation?

When applying makeup, you should not only consider which type or brand of cosmetics is the best, but also what tools should be used when applying makeup. With the help of tools, makeup will be more effective and the effect will be more ideal. So, when applying liquid foundation, you usually have a foundation brush and a makeup sponge to choose from. Is it better to use a brush or a sponge?

Tools usually include a foundation brush and a sponge. In fact, the tools you use can determine the effect of the painting. Many makeup artists like to use a foundation brush and a sponge together. The advantage of a foundation brush is that it does not absorb liquid foundation (this is one of the reasons why most foundation brushes are made of synthetic fibers), and a good foundation brush can make the foundation very thin and evenly distributed on the skin. After using the foundation brush, you can gently press the entire face with a sponge to keep the foundation distributed more evenly and make the overall makeup effect more natural and transparent.

If you use the sponge alone, you can also achieve a flawless look. But choosing a sponge is particularly important:

First, the holes must be fine and uniform, so that the foundation can be evenly distributed and it will not absorb too much foundation and cause waste;

Second, it needs to be elastic to help the foundation adhere better. Finally, a reminder: the sponge should be cleaned after use and replaced immediately if loose holes are found.

Professional makeup artists all use brushes, but I personally feel that the application is always uneven when using a brush. It may be a matter of personal technique. . . I always use a powder puff to apply liquid foundation, so that I can apply it evenly to the sides of the nose.

You can use a sponge or your fingers!

I just use my fingers so that I can apply it evenly in every corner! The surface of the brush is easy to get dirty and it can be applied evenly by pressing it a few times with the tips of my fingers.
