Can I apply foundation with my fingers?

Question

I am not good with makeup!  But I’ve always hated using brushes lol I think it’s a pain to clean them etc.  I’m a busy mom of three and am trying to learn some basic makeup.
Is there foundation you’d recommend that can be used with fingers to apply and blend?  Thanks!!

Answer

Please don’t listen to these people on here who don’t have any professional backings. I’ve had my cosmetology license for over 14 years, esthetician license for 9. Been at Sephora for about her 6 years, because a store director and I am a freelance make up artist. Your fingers are one of the best for application. Our body temperature helps to warm the product  allowing for a smooth, natural looking application. Don’t rub. And when working under the eye area, use your ring finger. It is the least strongest finger for that area. Them beauty blenders waste so much product. It’s a sponge, it absorbs. So when you’re applying you are picking up products too. Trust me! Use them fingers when you want. Especially when applying concealer!!!

Answer

I’ve always used my fingers. Not sure what these ladies are saying about it being bad for your skin? My clean hands do a great job. I have worked in the beauty industry btw and most makeup artists prefer using their fingertips for more natural coverage. Blenders are typically used for heavy coverage

Answer

You absolutely can apply it with your fingers. Most foundations can be applied easily with your fingers. It's not bad for your skin at all. ￼I love applying my Tarte Amazonian Clay stick foundation with my fingers. ￼

Answer

Yes, you can definitely apply foundation with your fingers! In fact, many makeup artists prefer using their fingers to apply foundation as it allows for better control and blending. As for foundation recommendations, you may want to try a lightweight, buildable formula like the Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation or the L'Oreal Paris Infallible Pro-Matte Foundation. Both can be easily applied and blended with your fingers. Don't forget to moisturize your skin beforehand for a smoother application. Good luck!
