Besides Beauty Blenders and their generic counterparts, sponge wedges and regular flat foundation brushes, what do you Beauties use for your liquid foundation? Kabuki or duo-fiber brushes you can blend and buff with, or do the stipple and swirl technique? I like sponge wedges for liquid foundation but I want to know what other brushes I need because I don't really like typical foundation brushes. Real Techniques/Sigma/Coastal Scents? I hear good things about the ELF powder brush being good for liquid foundation. Not looking to buy, just a face product/foundation noob here!

Buffing brush from blank canvas cosmetics, I really like. Nothing else I normally use a beauty blender (also by blank canvas cosmetics) and very rarely a normal foundation brush. Xx

I use a mineral stippling brush that I bought for like $10 at target & it works wonders. it really gives your face an airbrushed look.
ALSO, the stipple brush really gives you a full coverage application!
hope this helps xx

What I use depends on the foundation. Sometimes I use a Sigma F80. Sometimes I use a flat foundation brush (just a cheapish one I got at Target, from their Studio Tools range). Sometimes I use my hands. I think different foundations require different techniques.
Personally, I wouldn't use e.l.f.'s Powder Brush for foundation. Although it has synthetic bristles, to me, they feel more like natural bristles, which are better suited for powders. Also, I've used other e.l.f. brushes with cream products, and they've never been the same since. :(

Not sure which foundation you are using, but, brushes that can act for all types of foundations. Sephora Co. Pro Brush #44, #55, and #56, and #62 would be a great multi-tasker. But other brands such as Real Techniques, or Sigma have great brushes as well.

Before my brushes, I didn't have a set in stone application process, and I still dont.
1. The handles on my brushes are short (kinda like a number 2 pencil. Easier to use. Easier to incorporate into a ki, Easier to Travel with. I dont know about you, but I dont need 3 extra inches in my "Brush" to feel comfortable and confident.
You must understand and learn what and why certain fibers or material is used in certain Brushes. People have been brainwashed into thinking that Sable = Luxury and beautiful application. It might, but what it really does is make you feel a little bit fancy. a little bit valid, and once you really study the Art and Function of Brushes and why, you might feel a little bit dumb.
For me function over other junktion anytime!
My foundation brush is a combination of sublte, soft, pliable, bristles. Man Made.
They Lay the foundation onto the skin then deliver it to where it needs to be. The brush doesnt repel the foundation, "Flick" and Splatter the foundation because they are less fimr than others. the brush material is layered in the cuts so there are no streaks or hard lines.
there you have it.
And #2 which I use as a foundation brush is my 2nd biggest seller
Enjoy!

i use a good dense brush & have quite a few, alternate between all of them depending on the type of foundation i'm using. I also just purchased the new Synthetic Buffing Brush by Sonia Kashuk, great for foundation, flawless, no streaks!

Thanks, Billy B! I think it is totally fine to talk about your products- you're not trying to hawk them, you're just genuinely interested in helping others and explaining how things work. Your brush sounds awesome and I admire how finely crafted it is- from the shorter handle and bigger ferrule, to the layered brush! This definitely blows flat, and too sturdy, classic foundation brushes out of the water- which are the ones I don't use often. And I do know how counter-intuitive it is to use sponges- you just end up having to add layers and layers because your sponge has soaked up so much as you go along. I think I'm a sucker because I like their texture, that I do get a nice, streak-free finish, and they're disposable. But I could easily break the bad habit! Thank you for the tips, I'm honored that you'd respond to my thread! <3
Thank you for more awesome responses, ladies! <3
