Buffing Vs Stippling Foundation | Which Foundation Techniques Should You Use!?

everyone welcome back to another monthly makeup lesson today we're going to be comparing stifling versus buffing your foundations into your skin want to go through the pros and cons of each one and help you guys figure out which is the best one for your skin type and also the results that you want to achieve so let's get started the last couple of weeks we've been talking about how to hold the brushes and also how to pick up the product on the brush correctly which I will link up here and also in the description box I'm going to be using an S 20 for this which is a flat-topped kabuki even though I actually prefer a rounder top brush when it comes to buffing but this one works out great too it's so soft you're going to start off with a stippling technique you're going to hold the brush in the center of handle pick up a little bit of the product make sure you're only coating the tip and then you're going to basically bounce this often on the skin it serves like a woodpecker motion that's why it's really important to use a flat brush for this and something with a lot of bristles and quite dense to make sure that we're getting those little tiny dots that are going to build up over time and give us full coverage it's a pretty easy technique to master but there are some pros and cons to using it so cover there pros is it's great for giving full coverage and sound amazing in photographs for that reason and it works on pretty much every skin type out there the only cons is that it does take a little bit of time you have to really just bounce it off and on the skin over and over and over again and also it can't bring out any unwanted texture in your skin severe large pores it may not be the best one for you a buffing is actually a very different technique but it starts off the same you're going to hold the brush in exactly the same place in the hand okay cup the product in exactly the same way make sure you're only coding tips you also want to make sure there's not too much product on the brush when you're doing both techniques but in particular when you are doing a buffing technique and then what you want to do is small little circular motions working over the skin the smaller you do the motions and more coverage you're going to get and then the slightly larger ones are going to give you more of a sheer finish and there's pros and cons to using the buffing technique as well and there's quite a lot of cons actually but the pros are it's really quick and simple to do it looks very even and natural and it just gives you a nice sheer wash of color and you can also adapt the coverage depending on the brochure use so the larger the brush the sheer the coverage the smallest versus the more coverage so you can kind of adapt it to whatever works for you however there's quite a few cons when it comes to using the buffing techniques ourselves it doesn't work on all skin types if you have sensitive skin acne prone skin any hairs on your skin tfeel embarrassed about but trust me everybody does don't worry about it and also if you have any dry patches on your skin the buffing technique will almost exfoliate and loss those up so you're going to end up with those little flakes on your skin so for all of those skin types you're going to want to sniffling but for everybody else you can definitely get away with the buffing technique I particularly like the buffing technique on anyone who has large pores because it kind of buffs over the top of them and gives them a smoother finish where do I find a stippling technique six with aims those little pores also it doesn't give the same amount of coverage when it comes to photographs on camera and actually filming it looks pretty good but when it comes to flash photography or getting that foundation to kind of show well particularly if you want to do a contoured look on top of it you're going to want to choose the stippling technique instead it gives a much smoother base when it comes to flash photography so that stippling versus buffing personally I like a mixture of the two of them combined I think twork really well together and leave a comment here let me know if there's any other techniques you'd like each compare and I will see you guys in a video on Friday okay
