I'm Baaack!

This post is a request for information, so step right up and help a girl out!

I am a faithful foundation user and do not stray from brand to brand (I know, I am every company's dream!) I use Revlon Colourstay when I am lacking pennies and Estee Lauder Double Wear when I am feeling flush. I love both of these foundations as they are oil free, stay matte throughout the day and give great coverage.

Now, I use my hands to apply my foundation, and I always have. I do not like the idea of sponge application as I don't think it would be easy to apply around my hairline. I have tried a cheapie foundation brush once and did not like it at all, maybe I just didn't practice enough??

But I have watched a few videos on Youtube where people have applied my holygrail foundations using a "stippler" brush. The only one I could find on the highstreet was a QVC one at £7.99, and it did not look overly thick.

So my question is, should I invest in a good quality brush? Or stick with the hassle free and cost free method of fingertip application?? Comment and let me know!
