Selecting a makeup tool to apply your foundation is a matter of personal preference. Some can do wonders with clean fingers, while others work magic with a makeup brush. When making your choice, we also recommend considering what type of foundation you’re using. We spoke to makeup artist Rudy Miles to find out the best way to apply different foundation formulas, from liquids to pressed powders.The Best Makeup Tools for Applying Powder FoundationPowder foundations lend themselves to a lot of versatility when it comes to application technique. “Powder foundation can be applied with a brush, dry sponge or a damp sponge,” says Miles. “The tool you use will determine the desired result or effect.” For powder, a dense, fluffy synthetic fiber brush like the IT Cosmetics Heavenly Luxe Flat Top Buffing Foundation Brush #6 will give you a blended, buildable finish, while a damp sponge will provide you with a sheer layer of coverage. “A dry sponge can be effective for medium to full coverage but be careful, if you pick up too much product, the complexion can look cakey,” he says.
