Silicone - High Coverage for Dry Skin
One of the most popular foundation tools on social media right now are the silicone style , and it ’ s easy to see why . Silicone tools are extremely easy to clean and don ’ t absorb any product , making them an economical and cleanliness friendly option . For those who suffer from breakouts this can be a lifesaver . Thanks to that anti-absorption , it offers serious coverage and the flexibility means you can easily cover the whole face . However , for those with oily skin , it is less long-lasting than a sponge application . It also isn ’ t a great fit for more viscous foundation types .
When applying foundation with bare hands , the first thing to remember is to start with clean hands . Hands make a perfectly good tool as long as they ’ re not contributing to accidental breakouts . That said , hands make a very useful foundation tool as the heat allows foundation to apply better and more evenly . In winter , especially , you ’ ll get a more natural finish to your product . While the skin of the hands doesn ’ t absorb as much product as a sponge applicator , you are likely to lose a small amount of product . It is important to note that this method isn ’ t best for those with wrinkles or long fingernails that may cause unintentional scratches .
Simply take a small amount and use your hand to tap it on your skin . Above all , the lack of a purchase cost is a convenient perk .
Each tool has its unique advantages and disadvantages . Depending on skin type , foundation type , and skill level , you can easily come to the perfect tool . As a store employee , helping a customer improve their makeup game for a flawless base is sure to win you the hearts of your clients .
