3 Ways to Apply Liquid Foundation featuring Cashmere 24 Hour Foundation

Sometimes HOW you apply your foundation can be just as important as WHAT foundation you’re using. Here are 3 common ways of applying foundation and the benefits of each.

Applying Foundation with Fingertips

This is the the quickest method, and probably the most common method for applying your liquid foundation. The heat of your fingertips warms the foundation and makes it easy to blend into the skin and get a nice natural look. You won’t have as much control over the amount of product you’re getting on different areas and I find it hard to add more product if I feel I need more coverage in a spot and get it blended well. However this is my go too method when I want to apply fast.

Applying Foundation with Brush

I really like applying foundation with a brush. While there are brushes specifically labeled as foundation brushes that are shaped a bit more like paint brushes I find those tend to leave my makeup looking a bit streaky. So I like using a fluffier brush with a somewhat flat top so I can buff the formula to blend it using mostly circular motions. The brush lets me easily blend in more product if I need more coverage and the narrower end of this brush is perfect for getting into tighter areas.

Applying Foundation with a Beauty Blender

A beauty blender is a great option for getting a soft, sheer finish to your liquid foundation. I like to wet my blender and use it damp for even blending. You can dot the foundation on using your finger, or the Cashmere 24 Hour Foundation comes with a handy applicator, then blend the formula in with the blender. You can also put some foundation on the back of your hand and tap the blender in the product then apply to you face. Unlike your fingers or a brush you’ll use a simple patting motion with the blender as swiping will just move the product around and not leave a smooth finish. The pointy part of the blender is great for getting in tight spaces.
