How to Apply Foundation with a Sponge?

To effectively apply foundation with a sponge, use a bouncing motion to press the product onto the skin. This method, described in a video titled "How to use a makeup sponge (In 5 minutes) - YouTube", ensures even application.

Step-by-Step Guide

Here's how to apply foundation with a sponge:

1. Prepare the Sponge:

   • Slightly dampen your makeup sponge with water. This allows the product to blend more smoothly.
   • Squeeze out excess water so the sponge is just damp, not soaking wet.

2. Apply Foundation:

   • Apply a small amount of foundation to the back of your hand or directly to the sponge.
   • For a buildable coverage apply the foundation in small quantities, to avoid excessive application.

3. Apply to the Skin

   • Using the flat side of the sponge, gently bounce the product onto your face.
   • Avoid dragging or wiping the sponge across your skin, as this can lead to streaks.
   • Focus on bouncing the sponge onto your skin, which effectively applies the foundation.

4. Blend:

   • Continue bouncing the sponge over your skin to blend the foundation seamlessly.
   • Ensure there are no harsh lines.

5. Coverage:

• Apply additional foundation if more coverage is needed.
• Remember to apply it in thin layers.
• Use the pointed end of the sponge for hard-to-reach areas, like around the nose and eyes.

By using this bouncing technique you'll achieve a natural, even finish with your foundation application.
