Always used fingers. How would u use brush? Do you use a different kind of foundation? Or the same wet liquid but with a brush?

it depends on the type of foundation formula... i prefer fingers for my MUFE mat velvet and laura mercier silk creme... i feel liquidier ones are better off using a brush
I use a flat top kabuki brush for my Pur minerals foundation

Fingers every time. Definitely never a foundation brush, the best brush for a flawless look is a stippling brush. It is every makeup artists secret weapon!

I use my foundation brush (sephora proffesionels airbrush 55) i blend with that then go over my face with my fingers just to make sure everything is blended correctly, the heat from your fingers will heat up the product making it easier to blend :)

Kabuki brush is the best method it's so flawless fingers are good to use with foundations that are harder to work with brushes suck as thick consistencies but kabuki brushes are the best or Sally Hansom stippling brush as its more dence and if you work it right it will not leave streaks and it will leave your skin looking airbrushed and flawless

Either works! Just make sure your hands and fingers are clean, or you have the proper brushes -- obviously foundation brushes. Also, keep in mind that different products can turn out differently on how you apply!
