How-To Apply Foundation

In this How-To, you'll learn from Makeup Artist Nancie Rooney the proper way to apply foundation using your fingers, a sponge, or a brush. If you prefer to use your fingers to apply foundation, make sure you warm up the product first by mixing it around with your finger. When using a sponge, dampen it for better foundation application. Face brushes are great because the density of the bristles allow you to really work foundation into the skin. Learn about the different kinds of foundation brushes you can use and other tips and tricks by watching Nancie's How-To.
