How do I apply liquid/mousse/foam/not solid foundation because I tend to just splat it on my face and I really need a few tips especially now the summer months are coming!! Thanks

Pour a little on the back of your hand and blend it all over your face using a beauty blender or sponge! :) you could also use a foundation brush (looks like a paint brush) or a stipple brush. :) x

Try a beauty blender! Sephora has their own brand of rounded sponge as well, that's what I use and it always applies easily and smoothly and of course blends products wonderfully :)

I use a beauty blender. Clean and prime my face, put some foundation on the blender and do a dabbing motion all over my face. Some people wet the BB and use it as a damp sponge but I don't like the finish. You can also use the back of your hand and a foundation brush or your fingers.

Hi Lily,

There are a few ways - you can use a sponge or beautyblender (http://www.beautylish.com/b/beautyblender) which gives a very seamless buildable finish and is great for using the inner corners.

A stippling brush (http://www.beautylish.com/p/real-techniques-by-samantha-chapman-stippling-brush) which you can use to either glide the foundation on or buff for more of a full coverage

Or a classic foundation brush (http://www.beautylish.com/s/billy-b-beauty-paint-brush-two) Usually made of 100% synthetic fibers it is easy to use to glide on or use in a soft flicking motion.

I hope that helps!

I honestly use my fingers because it warms the foundation and I found that I get a better blend..

I use a slightly wet makeup brush and put my liquid foundation on the back of my hand and then apply it to my face. Seems to blend really well.
