3 Ways to Apply Foundation

Find What Works for You

Applying foundation might seem simple, but the way you apply it can make or break your base. Different techniques can give you a totally different finish, so it’s all about what works best for your skin, the look you’re going for, and another important factor….what feels easier for you.

1. Makeup Sponge: For a Natural, Airbrushed Finish

If you want that flawless, second-skin look, a makeup sponge is your best friend. Sponges like the iconic Beauty Blender (my personal favorite) help you blend foundation seamlessly into the skin, giving a natural, soft-focus finish.

How to Use It:

1. Hold the sponge under a running tap and keep squeezing and releasing until the sponge doubles in size. Then turn off the water, squeeze out excess water, then wrap a tissue or towel around it and squeeze again, so it’s damp (not soaking wet). This helps prevent the sponge from absorbing too much product.
