apply liquid foundation with a damp sponge. powder/mineral foundation is best applied with a kabuki brush. spot conceal first, then lightly apply the foundation over the whole face. make sure to blend it into the neck area for a more natural look.

You can use a sponge or a brush to apply foundation for natural, sheer coverage.
"Step 1: Foundation
Select a foundation for your skin type that matches your underlying skin tone exactly. Using the flat, smooth surface of a round, nonporous synthetic sponge, pour some foundation onto the sponge, then transfer the foundation in dots and dabs all over the face and the eyelids. You can also use your fingers to transfer the foundation in dots from the bottle to the face. Use your sponge to blend the foundation down and out over the face. Use the edge of the sponge without foundation (or turn the sponge over to the clean side) to dab or buff away any excess product. Do not apply foundation on the neck or under the chin. Your sponge is an exceptional blending tool that can be utilized throughout the makeup application process."

Lavagirl, if you are trying to cover imperfections in your skin, the foundation has to be put on heavily - which kinda takes the naturalness away. I suggest you use a good skin care regimen to get your skin clear and then you can lightly apply your make up. I suggest the products at aularale.com/7002. Also get the Vitamin C Firming Serum and Fade Gel to clear up/fade away imperfections. Also, eat a diet rich in fruits and veggies, take a good vitamin/mineral supplement, and drink lots of water. Email me at nesa23us@yahoo.com if I can help further.

I blend a little moisturizer with mine to thin it out, you could do that just around the jaw line if you need more coverage on the bulk of your face- also do you use a wet makeup sponge- they work wonders!
