How to use a foundation brush.
With stick and cream formulas, pick up an ample amount of foundation with flat edge of brush and apply to face. Start around the nose and mouth and blend out to the rest of the face as needed. With liquid formulas, dot foundation on face with fingers and use brush to blend. Pour a small amount of foundation (assuming you are using a liquid) onto the back of your hand. Pick up some foundation with the brush. If you prefer light coverage, dip only one side of the brush in the makeup. If you want fuller coverage, use both sides of the brush to pick up the makeup.

Caring for Your Foundation Brush
 Once you know how to use a foundation brush, you'll also want to take note of how to keep it clean. Cleaning all of your makeup brushes is imperative in order to keep them bacteria-free. Lingering bacteria not only poses the risk of causing acne breakouts, it also generally suggests that there is excess makeup building up on the brush.
