We understand that getting the right foundation for your skin is not that easy task. Because not all offer coverage, looks like second skin and is affordable. And after you do find one, only half the battle is won. You need a handy tool to apply it so that it blends seamlessly onto your skin. Whether you prefer a sponge or brush, or some of the new tech out there, it helps to know all the options.
L'Oreal Paris Infallible Total Cover Beauty Blender, Rs 799
This egg-shaped blender is perfect if you prefer cream or liquid foundations, as it has a flat surface on one side that lets you pat your foundation on and then blend easily. The pointed edge helps you get to those hard-to-reach areas like the inner corners of your eyes and the sides of your nose. You can also use it to contour your face.
Colorbar Smart Blend Silicone Sponge, Rs 300
To use it, you need to add just a few drops of foundation and work the product into your face. Build as required. The pros of this include that the sponge will last for a very long time and can be cleaned very easily - just rinse off with water.
NYX Professionals Flat Foundation Brush, Rs 1150
Brushes also work well with both pressed and liquid foundation, though optimal results are with a liquid foundation. Apply a small dollop of foundation and make upward strokes for coverage; the synthetic bristles are flexible enough to reach all areas of your face.
Makeup Revolution Precision Pro Brush, Rs 1850
The largest oval brush is perfect to apply mousse, liquid or pressed foundations (though it might be too large for the compact) that will allow for seamless blending and also help curtail shine.
