To Brush or Not to Brush that is the Question...


Should I use a foundation brush? I get that question all the time. Although there are many options, my answer is yes use a foundation brush. Reason? For one the application is smoother, you use less product, and it is sanitary. The make up moves through the bristles so not to waste any, unlike sponges and fingers which absorb product (very wasteful). With a brush you can definitely get away with using less than a dime size of liquid foundation, tinted moisturizer, or sheer foundation. Blending is simplified & you can rinse your brush out and leave to dry for your next application, free from bacteria that tends to build up in sponges. A foundation brush is excellent for creme foundations as well!

Foundation brushes are typically made of synthetic fibers however some of them are blended with natural fibers. Either is good. Here are a few of my favorite foundation brushes:
MAC Foundation Brush #190

Bobbi Brown Foundation Brush - Short Handle

Japonesque Professional Foundation Brush

Sephora Brand Professionnel Platinum Angled Foundation Brush #51

Smashbox Foundation Brush 13
