Can I use a blush brush to apply foundation?

I have no brushes that are specifically for foundation, so I am wondering whether I could apply it using a simple blush brush.Can I use a blush brush to apply foundation?
For powder, yes.





For liquid or mousse, no. Just use your hands.Can I use a blush brush to apply foundation?
Lots of wrong answers here...You CAN definitely use a blush brush to apply liquid foundation, but you need a good quality one with minimal fallout. You should use the ';stipple and swirl-method';, where you pour a little bit of foundation on a flat surface of the back of your hand, then dip the brush in it. it's important that only the very tips of the bristles get covered with product. Then stipple it onto your skin, and then swirl to blend. If it's a low quality brush you'll have to pull hairs out, but a good blush brush should be able to handle it no problem. A tutorial on how to use a blush brush can be found at the link below. Note that the artist here uses a bigger brush, but makes it a point to say that you can use a blush brush. The video is really a comparison between 2 methods, but you'll get the idea.
I'm not sure that its so good to use your hands while applying foundation due to bacteria that can cause you to break out. Sponges work well... But from PERSONAL experience, I don't even like using brushes to apply foundation. It makes your foundation look really streaky, and since you have to blend it out with a sponge anyway, you might as well just apply it with a sponge in the first place.
You absolutely can, but it needs to be a good quality blush brush with soft bristles, and a full, rounded head. If the head isn't firm enough, then the application will be streaky. Don't forget to wash it after every use, bacteria love moisture, and leave it flat to dry.
only if its a powdered foundation


but if its liquid its probably like impossible
only if its power. otherwise it clumps.
can i use a blush to apply foundatio?!? you're crazy! just your hands ... or maxium a soft cotton little (teared... of course)
