When it comes to applying foundation, you're spoiled for choice. Some use their hands, others a damp sponge or a classic brush. So when to use which tool?
How nicely the foundation sits on your skin depends, among other things, on whether you’ve chosen the right applicator. Brush, beauty sponge or your hands – not every tool is suitable for every liquid foundation. Check out the video above to find out how to choose and why I’m not a fan of manual labour in my face.

When I’m not dancing in glitter rain, I’m either hanging out at pyjama parties or sitting at my make-up table. P.S. I love you, bacon, garlic and onions.
