Want a full coverage foundation? We've got you, huns.
We're pretty sure everyone can relate to that horrific moment you put your foundation on and realise that it's just not covering that spot, blemish or whatever it is you're trying to hide. You start piling on layers and layers of foundation, but it doesn't actually work and instead, it leaves your face looking extremely cakey.

How to apply full coverage foundation?
Honestly, it depends on how much product you actually want on your face.
A make-up sponge is ideal if you've put on too much product and want the sponge to soak up some of the foundation. It's also great to blend your make-up for a natural finish - 10/10 would recommend.
However, if you want more of your product to go a long way, then a make-up brush is what you're going to want your hands on. It'll spread more of your make-up out on your face, but depending on the quality of the brushes, you might want to also use a make-up sponge to make sure everything is blended nicely.
