Light coverage foundation to even out the skin
Light coverage foundations that even out redness, dullness, and uneven tone without feeling like foundation. These are the everyday winter picks: sheer, skin-like, and comfortable on dry skin, for days when you want to look polished, not made up.
This is super easy to apply. I like to apply straight to the face and blend with a brush. Stipple in sections where you need more coverage. This leave the skin gently blurred and glowing. Best for dry to normal skin types

Best Foundation Brushes
These are just a few of the go to brushes that work well with both liquid and stick foundations
This brush is great with the Mac foundation stick. I use this first to blend and buff then go in with a dry sponge after to make sure there are no brush strokes.

This is a great daily foundation brush. It is smaller then most so you have complete control and the dense bristles help to diffuse the product on the face. You can also stipple with it to get more coverage
