Summarize the following:
A tapered brush is one of the best tools for applying cream foundation because it makes it easier to get even coverage. Using a brush to apply cream foundation may also make it easier to get even coverage in areas like your eyelids, around your nostrils, and along your hairline.  Dab a small amount of cream foundation on the brush and then begin spreading it over your face using short strokes. Keep going until you have the desired coverage. Beauty sponges are also excellent tools for getting even coverage with your cream foundation. These sponges are dense and curved with a pointed tip on the end. You can use the curved part of the sponge for larger areas of your face and the pointed part of the sponge for small areas, such as your eyelids and the areas around your lips.  Dab a small amount of foundation on the sponge and then use short strokes to get even coverage. Smooth the sponge over your skin until you get the coverage you want. If you don’t have any special tools for applying makeup, then you can also use your fingers to apply the cream foundation. Dab a small amount of cream foundation onto a few of your fingertips and then begin applying the foundation to your face. Use your fingertips to blend the foundation evenly over your face until you are happy with the coverage.

Summary:
Use a tapered foundation brush to get even, full-face coverage. Use a beauty blender sponge for sheer, buildable coverage. Use your fingers for controlled spot application.
