Foundation Brush

I'm devoting the week to talk about 5 of my favorite new makeup products I've been using lately!

I thought I'd start with a change I've made to my foundation routine!  I use to apply my liquid, medium coverage foundation with my fingers or a wedge shaped sponge.  I was watching some video makeup tutorials and it seemed really common to use a brush to apply liquid foundation.  I thought I'd have to spend a lot of money on one, but I found a kabuki brush made by E.L.F. for $6 at my Walmart.  I've been very pleased with it!  They also make a flat top powder brush for $3 that I've seen used in makeup tutorials.  I like how the brush gives my foundation a smoother finish than my fingers ever could!  It also distributes the foundation more evenly.

To apply your foundation, you put a pea size amount of foundation on the back of your hand.  Take your brush and dab into the foundation.  It will quickly pick it up.  Next, you'll use a dabbing motion and apply the foundation all over your face.  Once it's applied, use brush strokes to smooth it all out.  I like to finish by rubbing the brush down my neck to get off the excess foundation off the brush!  If you use liquid foundation, you should give this brush a try!
