comparing foundation application

I only used sponges to apply my foundation twice as I couldn't put up with the fact that most of the makeup was going into the sponge rather than on my face. I am aware that there are better makes and I haven't yet tried the real techniques one so don't let me put you off.

If you read my January beauty haul post you'll know that I ordered a real techniques expert face brush off amazon. I use this every day almost as I think it is brilliant, it doesn't leave brush marks, is really soft, applies really well and doesn't absorb much of the foundation.

In my opinion, the only problem with applying foundation with your hands is that it is very difficult to wash off and if you're like me, that will really bother you. Using your hands is a very effective way of applying foundation as it guarantees that there will be no brush marks nor wasted product plus it's free!
