My favourite way to apply it - Maybelline Dream Smooth Mousse foundation

Here is the latest edition of 'My favourite way to apply it'.  This time it's about how I apply my Maybelline Dream Smooth Mousse foundation.  I've tried a few different ways to apply this foundation, but have now settled on a routine that works best for me.  This is how I do it;

I use my beloved Sigma F80 Flat Top Kabuki brush! 

I daub the brush straight up & down into the foundation, then I stipple it on my face.  I only need to tap it into the foundation a few times, as the product sits on top of the brush & doesn't absorb into the bristles. 

 I tap it a few times on each cheek, my chin and forehead.  Once I've tapped it on, I start buffing it in.  This blends beautifully and seamlessly this way.  Here's the process demonstrated on my hand.

For heavier coverage, you can repeat the process but I usually just do this once.  If I need more coverage after one application I use the MAC MSF Natural as a finishing powder, as that also provides some coverage.  

I was using my ELF flat top kabuki before the Sigma brush & that works fairly well, but the F80 just blends better & gives the skin a polished finish.  I think the difference is in the density of the brush & how easy it is to get rid of any edges on lines when you use this.

How about you, do you own this foundation and how do you apply it?
