Typically I like to use my fingers or this Sephora brush I have, ummmm..guess it would help if i knew the name of said brush...but i dont. It is from their professional line and i THINK it has something to do with airbrush? That was a waste of typing huh?! Sorry. But overall I like to use my fingers. Have tried the item you are giving away, liked it alot..but i didnt take care of it as i should have., visit my blog, xpfv,
