This is how it is used ( i do not prefer this brush as this type of brush can't give a smooth finish):

How to use Foundation Brush :


-Pour a small amount of foundation on the hand.
-Dip the brush the tip in the foundation.
-Make some dots of foundation on face.
-Now use the side of the brush to blend the foundation.
-Use broad, downward strokes to sweep and blend the makeup onto the nose, forehead, cheeks and chin.

Some additional tips :

-the tutorials are given based on internet & personal experience.This is the ways most women feel suitable for foundation application.But every person has a different way of comfort.Its better , find your own way of application.Choose brush or sponge which gives a perfect finish.

-While applying foundation,find your own way of starting.Its not mandatory to start from nose area.Its the basic & most common way of foundation appplication.

-Do not forget to apply pressed powder over liquid foundation.

-Not to forget other beauty essentials like lipcolor eye makeup etc.

-Liquid foundation finish will definitely alter skin color.It is its property.You will never get a perfect matching skin colour with liquid foundation,especially for medium skin tonned girls.So application of other makeup essentials is necessary when you apply a liquid fioundation.For fair skinned ladies like blondes , sometimes pressed powder is not necessary.But for Bangladeshi girls skin tone ,pressed powder finish is very much necessary.

-Dont worry about foundation color.As i mentioned in previous post , chooose the one which best tends to your skin.

Liquid foundation is the most common & widely used.Hope i have covered all the info s here.take care <3
