I just use my finger. Some people will probably think that's nasty, but I'm not really a germaphobe or anything so it doesn't really bother me.

It depends on how I'm feeling. Sometimes I use a concealer brush, sometimes I just use my fingers. If you apply with your fingers it can warm the product and help blend into your skin a little easier. However, if I do use my fingers I ALWAYS make sure to wash my hands first. Lately, I've been using the Physicians Formula Mineral Wear concealer.

It depends for me as well. But majority of the time, I use my fingers. Or if I use a brush, in the end, I'll finish up with my finger anyway.

Just like what Gabbie mention, I like to "warm" up the product with my fingers.

I would like to mention, I used to think using your fingers were dirty, especially the germs on your hands and what not. But I noticed your fingers are one of thee best and most affordable make up tool. With that, I am constantly washing my hands when I apply makeup.

I just apply with my fingers. I don't worry TOO much about germs because I sanitize before applying makeup, brushes or not. It doesn't matter to me what I apply it with just because I blend it out with my foundation and I do use a brush for that.

I find for me that I get the best results when using my fingers. I always wash my hands before and apply my make up application. I feel like applying concealer on with my finger gives me more control over the coverage. I've never really gotten the results that I've wanted when using a brush. Maybe it's just me.

First I wash my hands most importantly. Second I put a little bit of the concealer on the back of my hand to make it easier to apply. Third I use a brush or my ring finger(your ring finger is the most gentle for under your eye) to apply it under my eyes and then blend.

For blemishes I put the concealer on the back of my hand then dab a concealer brush into then on the blemish. Then I swirl it around and blend the edges so there are no harsh color distinctions. I love using the brush and wouldnt go back to using my finger bc the application isnt as nice and precise. For under eyes, I dot underneath my eye with the concealer brush then use the warmth of my finger to gently blend it out! Hope that helps :)

Usually with my finger, but once in a while I'll use a concealer brush. (I keep some hand sanitizer close at hand.)
