Essence Soft Touch Mousse Foundation Review Easy application using fingers. Brush or sponges not necessary, but you can use a round brush for blending in. This long-lasting foundation features exclusive silky matte powder spheres that glide evenly onto the skin for a flawless, soft-focus 16-hour matte finish. I’m not much of a foundation person. For the last couple of years, I have been using Garnier BB cream. It gave me light coverage and more of a highlighter effect. So I decided to switch to something that offered more coverage, but I was dubious about the liquid foundation.Plus, i t stays on for a generous amount of time. I have had it on for 8-12 hours. You might need to touch up a bit on oily areas, such as your nose, after a while. Or go the extra mile and use a makeup setting or finishing spray. I usually moisturize my face before applying foundation. But I do not use a primer. And for this mousse foundation, it is not a necessity. The matte formula holds on even without a primer. Step 3: If your product comes in a jar, scoop out a small amount with your fingers or with a clean makeup spatula. If your product comes in a tube/bottle, then squeeze/pump out a small amount on your palms. Step 6: If your product cannot be blended with fingertips, then take a soft-bristle foundation or a dampened beauty blender. If you’re using a damp sponge, start by gently dabbing near the eyes, and continue outwards. For the high-coverage finish, it is best to first even out the foundation gently with a brush, and follow it by dabbing with a sponge blender.

Personal opinion, a basic flat brush is not a great idea for a mousse foundation. Also, considering the size and shape of the container, it won’t be easy to use a standard foundation brush to take the product from the container. Ingredients: Ensure that the foundation is free from parabens, sulfates, triclosan, petroleum, phthalates, overpowering fragrances, etc. so you can indulge in a safe beauty regime.
