It’s hard enough trying to find the perfect foundation, never mind having to think about how we apply it! Fortunately we’ve taken the leg work out of that job for you. Here we have our favourite five blending beauties for flawless foundation application.
Yes it’s a bit odd looking, but this quirky little gadget is the secret weapon for some top makeup artists the world over. Beauty Blender (£26.00) has a fine texture to it that smooths any foundation to a silky finish, and the narrowed top end is perfect for reaching even the toughest of angles.
Now this one just happens to be the ultimate Beauty And The Dirt favourite. We don’t know why. We fell in love with it a couple of years back and haven’t been able to let go since! The Urban Decay Good Karma Optical Blurring Brush (£20.00) has a reassuring weighty feel to it, and the lightness and close formation of the bristles means that it holds any foundation well, applies without irritating skin, and effects a pretty flawless finish!
Here’s our favourite budget buy. It’s a classic! The Revlon Foundation Brush (£8.99) fits neatly into any makeup back, gives a precise application and looks fancy to boot.
This Japonesque 150 Degree Foundation Brush (£10.50) is as sleek on application as it looks. The easy-to-hold style makes foundation application as easy as it can get, ensuring every angle, nook and cranny can be reached without effort.
This ones an all-round favourite, and garnered a lot of praise when it was launched in 2013. It’s soft, and quick to use, the large surface area of the brush blending a large areas of the face at a time. The Shiseido Foundation Brush (£29.00) is pretty much a flattering Instagram filter with a handle!
