How to apply cream foundation with a sponge?

I really need step by step help. Tips. ThanksHow to apply cream foundation with a sponge?
Applying with a sponge is a lot harder than applying with your finger tips. Sponges tend to make things look uneven.





1. Choose a sponge with a unique shape, not too big, not too small, not too blunt on edges, and make sure it is soft.





2. apply foundation to your cheek bones, chin, nose, and forehead. (you only need a pea sized amount in each place)





3. Take sponge and blend the cheek foundation outwards in circles making sure that you blend everything evenly, all the way to your ears, and down your cheek bones to your jaw line. It doesnt hurt to blend into the beginning of your neck as well.





4. Blend the chin area outwards to your lower jaw area.





5. Blend the nose up and down, then to the sides, and pay attention to those pesky little creases on the sides of your nostril. Blending is especially important here because those creases tend to flake and look icky if it is not blended evenly.





6. Blend the forehead up and out, between the eyebrows, and your temple area.





Also, make sure to cover every crevice on your face. It also helps to use a powder concealer that is one shade lighter than your natural skin tone. Apply that beneath your eyes, the sides of your nose, and on any blemishes.





I really recommend using Maybelline Pure Makeup. It has water in it, which makes it SUPER easy to blend. It looks amazingly natural, and its cheap. Other foundations tend to be thick and gross.





Most importantly use a new sponge after ever 4 applications. They collect bacteria.





Like I said in the beginning, its much easier to do that same process with your fingers. They can reach smaller places that may be hard to blend with a sponge.





Sorry about the mouthful. %26lt;3
