I use my fingers, I'm not a pro but I seems to be easier to build it up this way.

Beauty blender works best for liquid foundation.

Depends on the liquid foundation type, especially if it's light or heavy. For those of light coverage, I use my fingers and those of medium to full, I use my brush to even it out more so it looks natural.

Depends on the way the foundation feels.

Ya if its a thick foundation and you really want it to look its best on your skin use a brush but if its like BB Cream or something light and you're just kinda applying it using your fingers still works pretty well.

I like both. I think fingers get the foundation on a bit thicker, but you have control over where it goes, but I like the way the brush applies lightly on my skin.

Brush! I'm a huge fan of airbrush finish type brushes such as the Sephora Pro Air Brush and the Tarte Bamboo Airbrush Finish brushes. They blend beautifully so everything has full coverage, but looks natural.

I like to the use a brush so that I can buff my foundation in more. I find it gives a more flawless effect and I find you use less foundation when you use a brush.

I just use bb cream so I just use my fingers which is more sanitary than brushes. So if you use brushes be sure to clean them often!

Brush! I feel like it gives the same effect but I hate having foundation fingers.
