Sponge or Brush which is the better or the two?

I have been using sponge for past 8 years and have yet to try brush who is in the same boat as me and who thinks brush is better? Explain........

You get different effects from using different products to apply your foundation. As a makeup artist everyone uses something different to get the desired effect. I love using a stipple brush to apply foundation and add more coverage with a sponge. xx

I prefer brush on applying my press powder/foundation. I initially use sponge because it always comes with the press powder when you buy one. But somehow the application is not even. I have some areas on my face that have more powder than the others. When brush became a fad on mineral powder, I was hooked with e.l.f. Kabuki brush. It made my powder application better and looks more natural on the face and neck. Unfortunately, their kabuki brush was already phased out.

I use both. I like to stipple my foundation on, because it looks really natural. After i like to blend it with a wet sponge. It never looks cakey, so taking the extra time to do both steps is definitely worth it. (:

I usually use sponges on everyone, but I do like stippling brushes. Not a lover of conventional foundation brushes though, don't know why, just a personal preference of style and technique I guess

I prefer using a brush than a sponge because it's easier to work with and has an airbrushed effect if you use a stipple brush. I have used sponge before but not as often anymore. With a brush you have full control of the application as the product glides on smoothly using a brush. I agree with blending a foundation with a damp sponge to take out the excess product for a more even application.

I like using foundation brushes over sponges. I find I get more control of how much or how little I want to apply. I've never tried using a stippling brush as a foundation brush, so that sounds very interesting to me, however, I've used it as finishing brush when using a mineralized powder and it works great in that regard.

I think the smooth brush will be good to apply the mineral foundation to the face with the little quantity.
