You want to apply it usually downwards, following the fine hairs in the face. If you need to blend it more, you can go in all direction, as long as the final strokes are following down with the hair.

4. Apply foundation
Foundation creates a base by smoothing out the surface of your skin. It allows your makeup to adhere more evenly. If your face is smooth and stubble free, a liquid foundation such as tgcosmetics Aloe liquid foundation can be applied to give a natural, even skin tone. Check for the right shade match to your skin tone by applying it in a streak from your lower cheek to your upper neck and blend in evenly with a dabbing motion. Latex sponge wedges are great for applying foundation. Avoid trying to smooth-over bumps or wrinkles. This will result in caking.
When using liquid foundation, dab small dots onto your face across forehead, cheeks, chin, nose and neck first. Then blend with fingers or a tgcosmetics latex makeup sponge to spread the foundation out evenly. Push foundation gently into skin, don't smear it.
Don’t make the layer too thick. If you need to make the application thinner, wet the sponge. Cover your entire face with foundation, including around the edges of the lips.
A common mistake is to forget to apply foundation to your neck area. When applying makeup you should always consider your neck a part of your face. Also cover exposed areas such as your shoulders and chest so that your complexion will have an overall even tone, Makeup will stain clothing, so be careful to avoid areas where clothing will rub against makeup. Seeing makeup stains on clothing ruins the illusion of a natural look.
After foundation is applied, wait for 3-4 minutes to allow your makeup to settle onto skin.

You apply it downwards, because if you do it upwards all of the hairs on your face will stand up and therefore it will look a mess and won't blend properly.
