This may spread infection onto the skin or give a streaky appearance to the makeup. Foundation needs to be applied using a medium sized soft brush that is applied from the centre of the face out or with a makeup sponge that can be applied using a patting motion from the centre of the face out. Sponges and brushes should be washed regularly with warm water and makeup brush cleaner to avoid cross contamination. Failure to wash the brushes and sponges causes bacteria to multiply leading to infection and further skin irritants.
