Which makeup brush is better for applying loose mineral foundation?

I'm using Maybelline Mineral Power powder foundation but I don't like the brush included with it. Which kabuki brush do you like better for applying powder?

It's never really a good idea to use the brushes that come with eyeshadow, blush, or foundation. Those brushes tend to apply make-up in one small area, as oppose to applying makeup evenly and beautifully to your face. I use a large Studio Basics blush brush, but you can use it for foundation, too. They come in several different sizes, also, which you probably know can be very helpful. I bought my Studio Basics brush for only a buck at Big-lots! I'm sure you can buy them at a vast amount of stores, but, hey, I chose Big-lots. (:


So, everyone can use a few skin care/pimple tips, right? Why is this? If you choose the wrong type of makeup, irritation occurs. For sure. Well, here's some info- I love helping people. (:





For tough zits, I use 'Equate Medicated Acne Gel, Maximum Strength'. You can buy it at Wal-Mart for a couple of bucks. If you have a zit, wash your face with a mild cleanser, then put this cream on before you go to bed. If you don't want to buy anything, try holding a very hot, wet rag on your pimples. The hot rag will bring the puss to the surface of your skin, making the pimples way easier to pop. Zits are caused by oil, dirt, or greasy makeup clogging your pores and irritating your skin. So, the irritation builds up and forms a pimple, or a more serious and harder to treat form of zits, called acne. Equate is a store brand, and I know you would probably rather put your trust in a more expensive brand, but, let me tell you something. The pricier brands have many of the same ingredients as the cheaper, or store brands. They charge you more for the label. The 'Equate Medicated Acne Gel, Maximum Strength' will dry up your zits, and take the irritation down a notch. That way, you can have the opportunity to pop them, or you can just be patient and wait until nature saves you from these horrible little bumps. With all that said, now I will tell you one more thing: When popping your zit/zits, use your ring fingers. They are the weakest fingers, and they won't lead to further irritation. Then, gently, place them on both sides of your zit. Now, gently push on each side, and the puss will start to leak out of the pimple. To prevent future pimples, wash your face twice a day with a mild cleanser. Harsh cleansers can be as bad as oil and dirt for your pores, if you have sensitive skin like me, that is. But I think everyone has sensitive skin somewhere on their face. Now, to cover up your zits while you still have them on your face, use a gentle, non-greasy concealer or foundation. A good, well trusted brand such as 'Almay' should do the trick. I use it, and my skin is pretty much always perfectly clear. Not to brag. LOL. Anyway, don't freak out if you get a zit, everyone gets those little suckers every once and a while. (:





Well, now that I gave you some information about skin care, makeup, brushes, and pimple popping products-Good luck!
Kabuki brushes are the best. I dont like the ones that come with the other mineral foundations. Also Bare Minerals has a great brush.
