    Do people use foundation brushes to apply their makeup or just their fingers?
    Thanks!

    I think it depends on the foundation. I mix between applicators (brushes, fingers, sponges) depending on what it comes out like on my face, the brush I use the most for applying my foundation is the 187 from MAC. It's a bit exspensive but applies foundation really well.

    I always use a brush...I go between the MAC 187 and the 190...Gives a nice flawless finish! :)

    You will get varying opinions on this but I believe you get the best finish with a brush. I use the MAC stipple brush, No. 187.

    I use a brush if I'm using a very liquidy foundation,otherwise it's just my fingers or a make up sponge now and then.

    Like the others, I'm a big fan of the MAC brush.

    I have the Ruby & Millie foundation brush and tbh, it's not great.

    It was great when I first started using it (back in April/May this year) and now it just puts the make-up on all streaky and I end up using my fingers/a sponge to blend the make-up properly, so it's a brush I don't recommend.

    Afaik, M.A.C Brushes are priced between €20 and €50 euros in BT's (I read this somewhere on Boards, but can't remember where). Your could ring BT's and ask them about the brush(e) and ask them for prices.

    HTH.

    I think most MAC face brushes are around 40-50 euro! Think of it as investment though because if you take care of it it will last for years. The boots No7 traditional foundation brush (similar to the 190) is quite good too if you're looking for a more affordable alternative.
