First I start with my BEAUTYCOUNTER foundation in shade linen. I squeeze a few small pumps directly onto my face and then use my Artis brushes to blend the foundation all over my face. The Artis brushes are an investment, but the cost per use is worth it. I love how smooth it applies the foundation.

In an interview with Bustle, Artis Brush Founder and Former MAC Senior Executive Matthew Waitesmith explained that reusing unwashed makeup brushes and sponges can lead to bacteria buildup, when then gets reapplied to your face and causes your skin to break out. "[The bacteria buildup] can trigger your skin to try and control the overloaded layer by reacting to it with a rash, or blistering, or skin eruptions," he explained.

The Best Luxury Brush Artis Elite Oval 7 Brush $65 Artis brushes are more expensive than most, but they’re worth it. The Oval 7 in particular is packed with very dense hairs that deliver the most even foundation application. The brush head is small enough to fit around the corners of the nose, but big enough to spread foundation all over the face in about in a minute, and its a favorite of celebs like Maude Apatow.
