What is the best form of application of this product? Should I buy a brush or is it best applied with my fingers?

A little goes a long way with this foundation. I mix a little with my usual foundation, and I also use it as a concealer. In my experience, a brush works best when using it as a concealer. I only apply it with my fingers when it is mixed with my usual foundation. I found that it is hard to apply all over the face without thinning it down with another foundation. I hope this helps.

hi Lindsey,before i used my fingers but now i use the shape sponges with a bit of setting spray. But your fingers are fine as well.

I apply it with a concealer brush, normally in a triangle under my eyes, I then use the beauty blender sponge to blend it.

I would use a brush for application. I have acne prone skin so I try my best to never use my fingers when applying makeup. I also use the beauty blender to blend in this concealer since its very thick.

Hi Lindsey, I only use this as a concealer. I use a small concealer brush to scoop a tiny bit of product out ( this product is very concentrated) dab gently on to my dark circles with the brush. Wait a minute for it to dry a little, maybe 30-60 seconds. Then I use my beauty blender lightly dab around and smooth it out. I would also apply a thin layer of Ben nyn banana powder on top to set (with a large blending brush or beauty blender if I'm lazy) . This would usually last me at least 11 hours. Hope this helps =)

I use an oil free moisturizer or sunscreen first then apply with my fingers. A little goes a long way and the warmth of your hand helps it seem to melt into your skin. :)

I'm embarrassed to admit I don't even remember how they asked you to apply it. What works best for me is to use one of those toothpick-like things with the tiny brush on the end -- we have ones made by GUM and also ones by CVS. They work wonderfully (for teeth, of course, but also for eyebrows and -- don't tell anyone -- eyelashes)! Just like a teeny, tiny mascara wand that you use on your brows and lashes. For lashes, of course, one has to be very, very careful -- but I have never had a problem and I am rather clumsy ;~).

I typically just apply it when I polish my nails. I use it as a base and a top coat. There may be other methods, but this works very well for me. My nails are notably stronger. My nail stylist even said so the other day.

There are not directions on the packaging and I have absolutely no beauty training so I advise this only as what works best for me; I typically use about a pea sized amount of dye to about three - five drops of developer. I find it works best when it's still thick because it stays better on my lashes and brows, about the consistency of lotion or toothpaste. I also make sure to mix them well so that all of the dye is exposed to the developer. When I first started using this product, I was also very concerned about this ratio but have found that it's not really an exact science and if you're off a little bit you will still achieve the same results.

There is a little spatula that comes with it that is used to apply. It works fine. A brush wouldn't work well and would waste a lot of product. The product works very well.

Basically, instantly... apply a thin coat, spreading evenly and rubbing in good. Careful around joints, like knee's and ankles. Let dry while washing hands well with a pedi or facial scrub so hands don't stain, then repeat in 15 minutes. Great product, have been using it for years. Don't apply too much at once, to avoid an unaturual color. Apply another coat the next day or two for a good color. I basically only use this on my legs. Good Luck!

It's easy and simple to use the product. You don't need your fingers, just use like a lipstick. Never share it, it's a personal product, I think.

i use fingers. i apply it in the morning and after about 5-10 min put my makeup on over it.

I find it better to spray into Palm and spread throughout hair, instead of directly on to te hair. You can get better distribution, and more control as to how much you're using. I then brush through hair to evenly coat

I prefer using the single action air brush. I have a double action that works fine it just requires thinning where with the single action I can usually get good results without the thinning. I have used enamels and water based for model cars through both.

I believe it is used to apply moisturizer or other face cream or serum. That how I use it. The box says it is the hydration applicator. I haven't seen much difference between using it or my fingers. But I don't use it regularly so I can't give an accurate evaluation.

For small areas you can use a brush. For larger areas it is most easily applied with a sprayer. In either case do not over apply it. It is best to apply multiple thin coats. Smooth out any puddles that may occur during application. Also do not want aerate the Clear-seal while applying it.

This isn't a product you use with a brush or sprayer. You rub it in with a small rag. Most of the time, I just use my fingers. I refinish gun stocks with it. I've probably done 20 stocks. I found out on gunstocks anyway, I like to stain the wood first although it doesn't require stain. If you go that route, let the stain dry. Then apply the Tung Oil. I usually do at least 2 coats of Tung Oil. Sometimes 3 letting it dry between each coat. I also rub it in before every hunting season on my waterfowl gun for extra protection. I showed my cousin that stock and his jaw dropped. Looks professional. This isn't a product you use with a brush or sprayer. You rub it in with a small rag. Most of the time, I just use my fingers.

I agree with Laura. However, the only time I've had the little dots is when I applied to much. This is the best product there is and use it to first CLEAN, like she mentioned, and then apply a coat of wax. The tacky part, I've never experienced. I could imagine a situation though where there was another product already on there - not newly applied, I mean still on the paint. This is polish - it moves paint, is how I like to think of it.

Use a couple of your fingers and wash your hands thoroughly afterwards. A brush is a waste of this expensive (but well worth it) product.

In my opinion, if you use it lightly it will look 'natural'. Just light application, get a small yet fluffy brush. You can also use it for an eyeshadow. Now if you are not wanting to spend a lot of money..I'd say don't chance it. Again, this is my opinion.

Best if applied soon after bite, but it works a day or two later if you still itch. What I do is scratch and barely break the skin and then apply. It woks better that way.
