So we told you about our favourite moisturiser and foundation but…..how do you get them on your face?
There are many ways to apply; sponges, fingers (agh) and brushes. Our choice? Brushes. There are heaps on the market, some good, some not so good, but we have found that the Artiste brushes, by Manicare, work perfectly and you don’t need to live on 2 minute noodles to buy them.
Start with the Foundation Brush #6,. Its made with synthetic nylon bristles and provides a concentrated application without absorbing the product. Apply your moisturiser first and leave for 5 -10 minutes to absorb, then the foundation (liquid or cream). Blend it evenly over your face, don’t forget your jaw line and a little down your neck. It should create a smooth and even finish
Next Stippling Brush #17. Made with compact flat goat and nylon bristles its perfect for bronzers, loose powder foundations or just to finish off with an airbrushed look. Work in circles all over the face and blend down the neck.
If you mix two different foundations to get your colour, use the lighter one first (with Brush #6) then the darker one (with Brush #17). With #6 apply small amounts of the darker shade to your chin, cheeks, forehead and nose use #17 and circle all over your face to blend the 2 together.
What do you use to apply foundation?
RRP: Foundation Brush $27.95 and Stipple Brush $17.95. Available at Priceline, Myer, Target, K-Mart, Big W and leading pharmacies.

The Makeup Case 
Just the other day I was thinking about which new foundation brushes to buy because mine have had it and check this out – question answered! Also, what’s the best product to clean them with and how often should they be cleaned?
Hey Emily, so great we were able to help! Ideally you should clean your brushes after each use. That way residue and germs left over from eye shadow and foundation will not be mixed into the compact and reapplied to your skin. There is a great brush cleaner available from Artiste and is stocked in all Priceline stores. Enjoy your new brushes.
