How to apply foundation with fingers


Sometimes our makeup seems to be incomplete even though we possess every element that can contribute to a flawless look. The perfect consistency of eyeliner, the perfect shade of lipstick, the gorgeous glimmering highlighter and eyebrows on "fleek". Did we forget the foundation? Or did we just ignore mentioning it cause we do not have the "Perfect" applicator to blend it?

Well, I say : "What is the use of a beauty blender or several makeup brushes when you are gifted with ten marvelous applicators?". Yes. I am talking about our fingers. Well let's just say we need eight of them cause the thumbs do not count when it comes to foundation application.

Believe it or not. I got this flawless foundation coverage with my fingers.

Don't believe? Then watch the video that I have linked in this blog.

Having that said, did you know that each of your finger serves a unique role in the foundation blending procedure?

Let's take the "Pinky finger" for example. Did you notice that this finger has the least surface area? You can be really precise with this finger.
Try using this finger to apply foundation or concealer under your eyebrow to carve it out. Works wonders!! 😉😊😊 You can also apply the foundation with this finger in the inner corners of your eye, around your nose where other fingers cannot reach.
On the other hand, the "Ring finger" can be used for concealing. This finger applies the least pressue and the least amount of force. This ensures the maximum coverage.
The middle finger has a wide surface area and you have a lot of control in it. So you can try blending the product with this finger or applying the foundation on your eyelids.

Always remember "When you dab, you look fab".

I use the dabbing motion to prevent streaky application and the swiping motion for even distribution of the product.

Its okay if you want to cluster in all the fingers and lightly rub your face. Just don't tug the skin.
