What Is Better To Apply Foundation, A Brush Or A Sponge?

Liquid foundation is a popular choice when it comes to getting a flawless base! However, knowing how to apply it can often be confusing; sponge or brush? There is no right or wrong answer but each method has its pros and cons.

Sponges come in lots of different shapes and densities. Sponges help your makeup go on sheer and light and the angles of the sponge are great for getting into creases and small areas. The only downfall of using a sponge is it absorbs a lot of the product.

Brushes are good for blending foundation seamlessly, giving an even, air-brushed finish. They often give you more control over coverage than sponges but can be more expensive.
