Great video! I actually learned a lot from this video: 1.synthetic brushes don’t absorb foundation so best to use, 2. Should not use brush for tinted moisturizer, 3. Use finger for concealer/ tinted moisturizer, 4. Use damp sponge thicker foundation. Great tips! Thank you
I’m a aspiring professional makeup artist and this helped me. Not at all of “professional” makeup artist will explain something like this to someone that’s trying to get better and learn from them.
Just getting back into makeup after not using it much for years. I'm 40 years old and realizing I never really learned how to apply foundation properly. I appreciate you taking the time to explain some of these basic principles to beginners and us "older beginner's" alike.
Yes!!! This is the video I’ve been wanting. Can you make this into a series? One on different types of brushes to use on your eyes depending on the type of product you’re using- powder, liquid, cream , glitter.. When you use them- natural vs synthetic. Then one video on tools for diff types of bronzers and blush products? Thanks again for sharing your wealth of knowledge;)
Thank you, Lisa. I have not worn foundation for years. My daughter is getting married. I am 62 and struggling with this. Thank you for the update on how to apply.
I can see why you were a trainer for MAC! You are a great teacher. I love the Loreal Flawless foundation and tried it because of your recommendation. May I ask what primer do you suggest to use with it? I have mature skin and very textured with large pores. Love you sweet girl!
I have used your brush method of applying foundation for a long time now and what a difference it has made. Also, by watching your videos, my eyeshadow looks 100% better because now I apply eyeshadow in a way that enhances how my eyes look (and your brushes have made a difference). Thank you, Lisa for such informative, fun videos to watch. You are the best.
Lisa, I learned so much from this video! Im in my 50’s and my whole life applied foundation with my fingers. I started using a sponge about a year ago but never heard anyone talk about when and why to use a sponge as opposed to a brush and fingertips. Thank you so much! ⭐️
I've been a make up wearer all my life, but always did it by hand. Now at 63, I need a new way to apply, so I was interested in brushes or sponge applications. Your video has been very helpful in this regard! Thanks so much!
This is GOLDEN!!! Thank you so much for breaking it down. As a MUA for over 20 years, I kind of do these things instinctively, but couldn’t explain it. Thank you for doing so. Many blessings!
Love your channel! I can see and hear your passion for what you do. I also appreciate your professionalism and your teaching style. Learn something every time I watch!
I'm an older gal, new, back to makeup. I'm so happy to have you guide me through this. It's so informative and helpful. Thank you. I love your brushes and lip products too, bye the way. Go girl!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏼❤️
Great tips. I knew about wetting the sponge but I never knew why and I really like the way you explained the different areas on the sponge and how to use them.
I used to make the mistake of applying my foundation with my fingers, I did it for many years until I came to your channel in late 2019. In 2020 I started using a foundation brush and I started using makeup sponges too. The quality of my makeup has greatly improved, sometimes I fail when I try some of your techniques 😅 but I keep trying. I love learning all about makeup, that is why I enjoy your videos very much. Thank you for sharing your makeup knowledge know with us ❤️💕💜♥️🥰😘. Thank you Lisa! It’s such a pleasure to watch your videos every week! Greetings from Mexico City 💕💜😇.
I learned a LOT from your video!! I'm 60 years old but relatively new to wearing foundation. I found your video succinct, which I so appreciate. I had no idea before watching your video what the differences were in application methods and when to choose which method. I found your presentation very good; easy to listen to, easy to watch, nice background, good lighting. Well done. I found your video when I went to youtube and typed in sponge vs brush for foundation. I am a new subscriber!😁
Thank you for this video! As a senior who is starting to wear more make up due to hyperpigmentation, your video was very informative as to what tool to use and when.
Thank u so much ! In school for aesthetics and our school hasn’t taught us anything about applying makeup, however we are required to do makeup when a client requests even though we weren’t taught! So I really appreciate your video !!!
I used to always apply Foundation with either my fingers or a sponge. That is until I got your travel brush set... now I use your Foundation brush! And wow! What an improvement! Thanks Lisa!
Your brushes are AMAZING!!!! Several months ago i bought your package of brushes and have been loving using them!!!! Love your videos and always learn something….thank you again always offering great advice!!!🤩👍🇨🇦🥰
Lisa I absolutely love the BK Beauty brushes!! Just received the Angie Hot and Flashy brushes. They’re also amazing. Concealer brush is just WOW. Thank you❤️
This was a great way to explain all of this, and I learned a lot, particularly why most of the kinds of “foundations” I use always look better when I use my fingers to apply and blend them out!
This was the EXACT video I needed, seriously! Thank you So much for laying all that information out to us so perfectly, polite, and poised as always! I love all ur videos and find myself binge watching them, even if I’ve already seen them, because I find ur info is the most accurate, for me, and you deliver it in such a sweet, and engaging way that I can’t help but to smile while I’m learning a ton! (I never thought I would say that sentence!) thanks again so very much!!
@@lisajmakeup I'm a year late to the party, story of my life, but I'm a 53ish woman who learned a ton in this video!! I couldn't possibly list every single thing, it'd be easier to state what I didn't learn, that which I already knew... .🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶 (Jeopardy tune playin in my head..................) I didn't know ANY of this info!!!!! I'm a child of the 80s, (Class of 87 Rox!! ✌) So EVERYONE applied EVERYTHING with their fingets- except for the cheap eyeshadow sticks, (there were never enough for all the shades either!) IF you wore compact powder, again, ALL there was, that came with thin powder puff...(Ohhh I can STILL smell my Mom's faithful, her "Holy Grail" of Covergirl's Original Pressed Powder, with the dark brown compact....Ohh thst smell takes me right back to being a little girl, watching in amazement as she applied each product carefully. CG "base" back then, maybe a little concealer that came in a lipstick tube.... and Maybelliene 3 red eyebrow pencils, 3 to a pack, then I think it was also Maybelliene that had TGE BEST MASCARA for years....the green & pink tube, I think?? Seemed like it was the ONLY MASCARA EVERY WOMAN USED FOR YEARS & YEARS!!!! OH I miss her....she just passed away 7 months ago, my heart aches for her....) Anywho, Sorry! But I literally learned everything. The ONLY thing I had tried before seeing your video was the sponge. I tried a few times but was told to only barely get it damp, and this is probably why it didn't work for me. I'm going to have to go thru the transcript & make a list & take down notes.... lol I'll never remember all you covered, very expertly. Definitely new sub here!!! 💟
Your tips are always so helpful. My makeup game has definitely improved since I started watching your channel! As someone who didn't really get into makeup until I was around 40, you've helped me tremendously!
I love this type of video! Please do more technique tutorials like this. It is so helpful to learn techniques that can be applied to the products that we already have. So very helpful!! :
I never knew which one to use and always thought a wet sponge would take off my makeup as I only use very light to sheer makeup. Thank you for this info. Love your channel.
I always learn something new in each of your videos! I typically only use a brush, because once I learned how to use those, I never looked back. I think those little triangle shaped wedge sponges I had in the 80s turned me off of using sponges. However, I did buy, and try the StansOut sponge, and I do like using that, because you can use it wet, it dry. Last year, I bit the bullet, and replaced all of my makeup brushes with BK Beauty brushes, and they've been a game changer for me, and my mature skin! Even though I had some good brushes already, after I'd tried yours, I couldn't go back to using the ones I had. My daughter happily ended up with those.
You did a great job of explaining which tools to use and why. Even those of us who have been applying makeup for decades need to be reminded of why we instinctively reach for the tools we do and what criteria we use in purchasing tools. Having lost all of my makeup and tools in a fire, I’m having to re-educate myself. It had gotten to be so instinctual that having to start over has been like learning how to do makeup all over again. Videos like yours help me so much. Thank you.
I love all your tips and tricks. I really didn't know that damp of a sponge worked like that. I tend to use my fingers. Always nice to wake up and get ready watching your videos 🥰
Everything you said makes so much sense! Love your videos Lisa. Seems everyone uses sponges over brushes but not everyone uses thicker foundations so this video is informative! Thanks
Thank you thank u!! I was using a blender for the longest and wondered why I had to use so much product and still didn’t get the desired results, I began using a brush and instantly saw a difference thank u SO MUCH 😊
This was such a great explanation. I often just switch between a brush and sponge with my different foundations but now I know which tool to use for which foundation now. Thanks!!
I'm officially addicted Lisa. The second video of yours I've caught in less than six hours. I've been using a sponge. I've learned that the brush is definitely superior for my purpose. I have a beautiful set of brushes and never used the foundation brush. I can't wait to give it a go tomorrow. Thank you again. 😊
I've never used a sponge before but watching you I'm thinking about trying. And I love the brush you used too. I think it's easier for me to think about 1 brush, than getting multiple brush information. After all, that foundation has got to go on good! You look fabulous. I think I'm going try your brush.
I a beginner and I Like the way you explain the different ways of applying concealer so I guess I have to try everything but I really enjoyed your presentation
Thank you for the technique. I tried it yesterday and my mind was blowing, my face usually looks like a mask and I hate it but once I tried your technique oh my gosh oh… I did exactly everything you said with a brush 🙌🏼 I am no good when it comes to make up I am 36 years old.. now I can do my make up with a little more confidence… I like to do my eyeshadow with my fingers. I have learned a lot from you much appreciate. Thank you.
You are a amazing makeup artist. I am all for your tutorial videos. I own all BK beauty tools and it is great to watch how to use them. Love your makeup today, can you do a video on this soft look? You are absolutely glowing, beautiful lady.
I'm partial to your 101 brush. I start out with it, and then use a sponge to blend out. When I use a lighter coverage foundation, I actually prefer a sponge. For some reason, it works better on my dry skin. With a tinted moisturizer, yes to fingertips. I still pat afterwards with a sponge. Great idea to use the sponge for cream blush. Thanks Lisa, for such great tips. ❤❤
Thank you for going into such good detail. It's appreciated. Do you have a video explaining how to and how often to wash brushes and sponges as well as drying and storing them?
Wayne Goss had a video sometime back showing that we should be applying foundation with a brush and then tapping over it with a sponge. It does look really good applying foundation that way.
I used to use my fingers for foundation. I received a foundation brush as gwp, what a game changer! Benn using one ever since. Thanks for the info on using sponge for cream blush! They're always a bit challenging, damp sponge sounds like the perfect solution! Appreciate the info!
I can't believe the timing on this video Lisa. I just made myself a note not 2 days ago to see if I could find info on what is the best application for foundation. I am 51 and just starting out in the makeup dept if you will. I am all over the place in application process and I usually hate the end product. When I saw on Instagram that you had uploaded a RUclips video about the best application method, I knew I had to check it out. I have watch this twice now and am so excited to try this out tonight. I have nowhere to go, so I can sit in front of the mirror and try my hand with the different foundations I have. Thank you sooooo much for sharing this!!
Another great informational video Lisa! Thank you for the explanation as to when to use a sponge versus a brush. I’ve never heard anybody explain this so succinctly and it makes complete sense. Thank you!
Thank you for your content. I am older and been wearing makeup for several years. When I was a teenager these type of products, brushed and beauty sponges were not mentioned. I have noticed my daughter using those products. I find myself asking why do you need all those steps. After watching just this one video of yours I understand. I will look for better products when I go shopping.
Wow. Ridiculously insightful!! So clear and concise!! You are a born teacher 😍 Thank you so much!! Just found your channel - can’t wait to see what your other videos are like! 💞😘
Really loved this video! Your information about the differences in the tools helped answer questions I’ve had for a long time. Also, your hair looks beautiful! Would you please consider doing a video on how you style it?
Thank you so much for these tips. My mom has used the old school sponges or wedge applicators for years. I’ve been trying to get her to change. She wastes so much product. Now it’s my turn to teach her about makeup like she did when I was a teenager.
I'm so excited to see a professional talk about makeup and how to apply and what to use. I'm 30 and fairly new to applying makeup regularly and using concealer and a sponge for foundation. This video was so helpful and I'm looking for a brush now for my lancome foundation. I love your natural looking makeup. Very classy and exactly what I've been looking for. 🙂
Hi Lisa, I learned to soak and squeeze out the sponge before using -changes the whole experience. Also learned that bb crimes etc should be considered skin care using the fingers
Hi Lisa. I have been following your videos from past 3 months and I’m beginner to makeup. You videos have transformed my makeup techniques. And this was a highly anticipated video, I was up on you tube trying to search and figure out which tool is best to use for foundation and you have just cleared this topic sooooo well !. Thank you so much 😄
Helpful to know I’m on the right track. Didn’t know that natural brushes have porous hairs and therefore absorb more product. There’s always something new to learn.
@Lisa J - I just started watching your channel and, this was a fantastic video! I’m 𝘔𝘜𝘊𝘏 𝘔𝘜𝘊𝘏 older than you and, I thought, you would be wearing/loving makeup products that wouldn’t work for a 63 year old! But, I was 𝐻𝐴𝑃𝑃𝐼𝐿𝑌 completely wrong😊! I just learned for the first time when and what to use with this video!! Thank you!
Great tips my daughter has been using sponges and suggested o would like them but I’m wasn’t getting the right coverage and didn’t bother asking . Now I know a bit more and plan to use it , 50 year old and love making my making look natural
Learning how to put on makeup foundation with a sponge and you definitely gave me a good tip to dab the color in spots on the face then dab with the beauty blender def a good tip
Thank you for such a great and informative video. I've always used my fingers, but now I think it's time to invest on a good foundation brush. And now I actually know the difference between all three techniques. Awesome informative video!
Thank you so much Lisa.😍 This video was really needed. I've often wondered what the difference is between a sponge and a brush. You explained it very clearly, and now I know thanks to you.😊
Thank you!! This was extremely helpful. I kept thinking I should be using either a brush or sponge for my tinted serum, but never liked how it looked when I did that. I prefer applying with my fingers and now I know why it works better this way!! Thank you for your great tips!!
Hey Lisa 😍that was EXTREMELY helpful 🙏🦋I just ordered some brushes from you ( can’t wait to get them) and now I wish I would have added the bk beauty sponge😩well looks like I’m gonna have to make another order 😆😳lol love all your videos ! Your so beautiful and an excellent teacher 😘😘😘😘
I've not not used makeup much, so am just figuring out how this all works. There are so many options, so it was helpful to hear you explain the use of these tools and watch your techniques. Thanks!
Love this video! I’m still learning what makeup/products are good for my skin and how best to apply them, so I really appreciate this! Makes SO much sense! Thank you!!
Looking forward to trying out your brush line this year! I made out a list of products and brands I wanted to try in 2022 and your brand was at the top of that list. I have heard nothing but good things about your brushes!
Thank you Lisa! I really did learn a lot from this video ….especially what to use when applying my concealer and tinted moisturizer! I’m 68 ……where have you been all my life😂😂!!!! Love all the BK brushes plus Angie’s too so now I’ve got to order your sponge!!!! You’re amazing!
I love the way you make everything sound easy, even for non English speakers. I am from Spain and I have to say that your chanel is the only American one that I’m suscribed to. It’s really helpfull with both, my English and my makeup
Just discovered your channel today…I love my BK Beauty brushes! Have had them for several years now! Didn’t know you were the founder! All the more reason to watch 💜☺️
Thanks for the info! Glad my assumptions were correct with applying tinted moisturizer with my fingers! I’d love to know how to use a makeup brush and not kick up your peach fuzz while applying makeup. I’ve heard that applying foundation in a downward motion helps but I find it difficult to then actually blend the foundation into the skin. Hope you are having a great day!
I thought I was applying my foundation correctly with a sponge but just realized I wasn't and that's why I can't ever get the coverage I want. Thank you for clearing it up! I'm switching to a brush and just ordered the BK Beauty #106!
That's actually the video I wanted. I have always been using brush for foundation application, but recently, after watching tons of makeup video, where most of the artist apply Foundation with a sponge / beauty blender, I was wondering whether my technique is right or not. But this video cleared my confusion. Thank you so much 🙂
Great video! I actually learned a lot from this video: 1.synthetic brushes don’t absorb foundation so best to use, 2. Should not use brush for tinted moisturizer, 3. Use finger for concealer/ tinted moisturizer, 4. Use damp sponge thicker foundation. Great tips! Thank you
Thank you! It saved my time😂😊
Thanks so much for summarizing! I'll still watch the video, but it saves me from trying to hunt for the info!
Absolutely me too!! I have been using the sponge wrong for years lol
thank you!
Thank you! As I couldn’t watch her full video. I think she wants to be on a television show. Way too long of a RUclips video.
I’m a aspiring professional makeup artist and this helped me. Not at all of “professional” makeup artist will explain something like this to someone that’s trying to get better and learn from them.

Then one video on tools for diff types of bronzers and blush products? Thanks again for sharing your wealth of knowledge;)
I really loved the explanation for why we would use or not use a certain “tool”. You learn something everyday! 💕
I never knew about using a sponge for fixing “mistakes” but makes senses….thank you!!!!
Thank you, Lisa.

I really loved the explanation Lisa! I always learn something helpful from your channel. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for going into such good detail. It's appreciated.
Do you have a video explaining how to and how often to wash brushes and sponges as well as drying and storing them?
Wayne Goss had a video sometime back showing that we should be applying foundation with a brush and then tapping over it with a sponge. It does look really good applying foundation that way.
I used to use my fingers for foundation. I received a foundation brush as gwp, what a game changer! Benn using one ever since. Thanks for the info on using sponge for cream blush! They're always a bit challenging, damp sponge sounds like the perfect solution! Appreciate the info!
I can't believe the timing on this video Lisa. I just made myself a note not 2 days ago to see if I could find info on what is the best application for foundation. I am 51 and just starting out in the makeup dept if you will. I am all over the place in application process and I usually hate the end product. When I saw on Instagram that you had uploaded a RUclips video about the best application method, I knew I had to check it out. I have watch this twice now and am so excited to try this out tonight. I have nowhere to go, so I can sit in front of the mirror and try my hand with the different foundations I have. Thank you sooooo much for sharing this!!
Great help esp for me who's just starting to learn and discover make-up. Thank you
Another great informational video Lisa! Thank you for the explanation as to when to use a sponge versus a brush. I’ve never heard anybody explain this so succinctly and it makes complete sense.
Thank you!
Thank you for your content. I am older and been wearing makeup for several years. When I was a teenager these type of products, brushed and beauty sponges were not mentioned. I have noticed my daughter using those products. I find myself asking why do you need all those steps. After watching just this one video of yours I understand. I will look for better products when I go shopping.
Wow. Ridiculously insightful!! So clear and concise!! You are a born teacher 😍 Thank you so much!! Just found your channel - can’t wait to see what your other videos are like! 💞😘
Aww thank you!!
Great video of how to use spong for foundation, I learn lots from this video. Thank you again.
Thanks so much for this! I’m
Just starting to delve into the world of makeup and your video helped sooo much!!
Really loved this video! Your information about the differences in the tools helped answer questions I’ve had for a long time. Also, your hair looks beautiful! Would you please consider doing a video on how you style it?
Thank you so much for these tips. My mom has used the old school sponges or wedge applicators for years. I’ve been trying to get her to change. She wastes so much product. Now it’s my turn to teach her about makeup like she did when I was a teenager.
I'm so excited to see a professional talk about makeup and how to apply and what to use. I'm 30 and fairly new to applying makeup regularly and using concealer and a sponge for foundation. This video was so helpful and I'm looking for a brush now for my lancome foundation. I love your natural looking makeup. Very classy and exactly what I've been looking for. 🙂
Hi Lisa, I learned to soak and squeeze out the sponge before using -changes the whole experience. Also learned that bb crimes etc should be considered skin care using the fingers
Hi Lisa. I have been following your videos from past 3 months and I’m beginner to makeup. You videos have transformed my makeup techniques. And this was a highly anticipated video, I was up on you tube trying to search and figure out which tool is best to use for foundation and you have just cleared this topic sooooo well !. Thank you so much 😄
Helpful to know I’m on the right track. Didn’t know that natural brushes have porous hairs and therefore absorb more product. There’s always something new to learn.
@Lisa J - I just started watching your channel and, this was a fantastic video! I’m 𝘔𝘜𝘊𝘏 𝘔𝘜𝘊𝘏 older than you and, I thought, you would be wearing/loving makeup products that wouldn’t work for a 63 year old! But, I was 𝐻𝐴𝑃𝑃𝐼𝐿𝑌 completely wrong😊!
I just learned for the first time when and what to use with this video!! Thank you!
Great tips my daughter has been using sponges and suggested o would like them but I’m wasn’t getting the right coverage and didn’t bother asking . Now I know a bit more and plan to use it , 50 year old and love making my making look natural
Learning how to put on makeup foundation with a sponge and you definitely gave me a good tip to dab the color in spots on the face then dab with the beauty blender def a good tip
Thank you for such a great and informative video. I've always used my fingers, but now I think it's time to invest on a good foundation brush. And now I actually know the difference between all three techniques. Awesome informative video!
Same here!
Thx so much for the tips. I always use a sponge & have wanted to try the brush, but I have been afraid to. Now I will try the brush. 😊
Thank you so much Lisa.😍 This video was really needed. I've often wondered what the difference is between a sponge and a brush. You explained it very clearly, and now I know thanks to you.😊
This was so helpful! As a beginner, I didnt know about soaking the sponge 🙈
Great information. I will definitely try to use a brush. I tend to use my fingers mostly because they are always available.
Thank you!! This was extremely helpful. I kept thinking I should be using either a brush or sponge for my tinted serum, but never liked how it looked when I did that. I prefer applying with my fingers and now I know why it works better this way!! Thank you for your great tips!!
Thank you ❤ I will use your content for making my own makeup on my wedding day ❤
Hey Lisa 😍that was EXTREMELY helpful 🙏🦋I just ordered some brushes from you ( can’t wait to get them) and now I wish I would have added the bk beauty sponge😩well looks like I’m gonna have to make another order 😆😳lol love all your videos ! Your so beautiful and an excellent teacher 😘😘😘😘
I've not not used makeup much, so am just figuring out how this all works. There are so many options, so it was helpful to hear you explain the use of these tools and watch your techniques. Thanks!
I’m in my late 60’s and I learned. Excellent communication skills. Thank you
Love this video! I’m still learning what makeup/products are good for my skin and how best to apply them, so I really appreciate this! Makes SO much sense! Thank you!!
Looking forward to trying out your brush line this year! I made out a list of products and brands I wanted to try in 2022 and your brand was at the top of that list. I have heard nothing but good things about your brushes!
Thank you Lisa! I really did learn a lot from this video ….especially what to use when applying my concealer and tinted moisturizer! I’m 68 ……where have you been all my life😂😂!!!! Love all the BK brushes plus Angie’s too so now I’ve got to order your sponge!!!! You’re amazing!
I had no idea I had to wet the sponge! Thx so much
This was Extremely Helpful!!!! I loved this !! Thank You Lisa so much!!! 💗💗💗💗
I love the way you make everything sound easy, even for non English speakers.
I am from Spain and I have to say that your chanel is the only American one that I’m suscribed to. It’s really helpfull with both, my English and my makeup
Thank you for clearing this up! Never figure who was best for what and I was doing it opposite of what I should be.
Great video - looking to purchase the 106 brush asap. Thanks so much!
Just discovered your channel today…I love my BK Beauty brushes! Have had them for several years now! Didn’t know you were the founder! All the more reason to watch 💜☺️
Thanks for the info! Glad my assumptions were correct with applying tinted moisturizer with my fingers!
I’d love to know how to use a makeup brush and not kick up your peach fuzz while applying makeup. I’ve heard that applying foundation in a downward motion helps but I find it difficult to then actually blend the foundation into the skin.
Hope you are having a great day!
Thank you! I have been using a natural hair kabuki brush, and will try the synthetic to cut down on all the waste of the product. Love to learn.
This is so useful! Been looking for comparison articles or vids. Finally found you. Thank you!
I use a moist sponge for everything.....including blush and it works flawlessly every time!
I thought I was applying my foundation correctly with a sponge but just realized I wasn't and that's why I can't ever get the coverage I want. Thank you for clearing it up! I'm switching to a brush and just ordered the BK Beauty #106!
Excellent video … so good to know when and where to use each method!
That's actually the video I wanted. I have always been using brush for foundation application, but recently, after watching tons of makeup video, where most of the artist apply Foundation with a sponge / beauty blender, I was wondering whether my technique is right or not. But this video cleared my confusion. Thank you so much 🙂
