A brush for liquid foundation: Dr. Hauschka Foundation Brush. With its very compact, flat, angled brush head, this makeup brush is ideal for evenly distributing liquid foundation and creating smooth blends around the ears, neck, and hairline. How to apply liquid makeup correctly: Apply a small amount of foundation to the back of your hand and pick it up with the foundation brush. Then apply it to your face in downward motions (see application). A tip from our makeup professionals: If you hold the foundation brush close to the brush head, you can apply the foundation precisely and with full coverage. The further you move your hand towards the end of the handle, the softer the result. The flat, angled brush with easy-glide synthetic bristles optimally distributes liquid textures and creates an even complexion.
