Title says it all, just heard that using your fingers is better than a brush. Thanks.

I do. It's definitely better in my opinion, but I do use a brush sometimes.

You definitely. can (:
I'd do it all the time when I didn't own brushes. If you do own a brush, then use it after applying it with your fingers (:

It's all up to personal preference, I've seen a lot of beauty gurus use their fingers to put on foundation or their eyeshadow. It works better for some people, and setting it with a powder works great.

If you have oily skin like me I'd definitely recommend to powder after and I also use my fingers for bb cream cuz I feel like it blends better

I really like the Physicians Formula Bb cream. I always used to apply it with my fingers before I owned any brushes and found it blended really easily. It also has a nice medium coverage and lasted all day on my combo skin when I set it with a powder.

I think BB cream just goes on better with a brush. I have discovered that using my fingers works best for my cream foundation which really benefits from heating up on your finger slightly. It all depends on the oils in the foundation. Some plant oils can start to solidify, especially if you live in a cold climate, like the oil in the cream foundation. Most of the oils in BB creams are going to be plenty liquid at room temp.
