Q: Is a brush or a sponge better for foundation?
A: A brush gives fuller, more even coverage and uses less product; a sponge gives a sheerer, more skin-like finish. Many people buff on with a brush and then press over the top with a damp sponge.
Q: How do you apply foundation with a brush?
A: Dot foundation across the face first, then buff in small circles from the centre outward, building thin layers rather than working one thick one. Finish with light downward strokes so the facial hair lies flat.
Q: How do you clean a foundation brush?
A: Weekly at least, since liquid product sits in the base of the bristles. Lukewarm water and gentle cleanser, rinse until clear, reshape and dry flat with the bristles over an edge.
