Which Brush to Apply Foundation?

For full coverage liquid foundation, you'll want to go for a flat brush that allows you to use a paint-like technique for streak-free precision. If powder foundation is more of your thing, use a fluffy yet dense brush with a lot of surface area like a Kabuki brush.

What kind of brush do you use for foundation?

Dense brushes are better for liquid and compact foundations; a loose brush is better for mineral foundations or to blend a liquid foundation. A great type of dense brush is an oval foundation brush. If you're stumped how to use them check out our guide on how to use oval makeup brushes!

How do I choose a foundation brush?

Your brush choice depends on the type of foundation formula you're using. As a general rule of thumb, it's advisable to stick to natural bristles for powder, and synthetic bristles for liquid products. This is because synthetic bristles tend to soak up less product, hence there'll be less product wastage.
