Before you start to panic, take a deep breath because we are here with the perfect solution. We are here with the perfect guide on how you can do your makeup without brushes, and still look flawless as ever! 

1. Your Fingers

There is nothing like the efficiency of clean fingers to apply your makeup. Your fingers can be your best friend when you don't have access to makeup brushes. In fact, several makeup artists prefer using their fingers to do certain steps while doing the makeup for their clients. Read on if you're curious about "How to apply foundation on the face with your fingers?" or "How to apply concealer with your fingers?"   

 

• Foundation - The crucial step to acing your makeup look is ensuring your foundation is well blended. And when you have to do your makeup without brushes, the best way to ensure a perfect base is to use your fingertips. After you have used primer to prep your skin, dot a small quantity of foundation across your face and neck. Blend that in with the help of your index finger. You can use circular and upward dabbing motions to make sure the foundation is well blended. If you need additional coverage, you can layer more foundation on top of it. 

 

• Concealer - Once your foundation is set into place, dot some concealer under your eyes and on any pigmentation that you want to conceal. Wondering how to apply concealer with your fingers? It's quite simple! Blend the concealer in outward strokes. This will ensure the product blends well into the skin without looking streaky. Another pro tip is to slightly warm the product with your fingers before applying it to your face to allow the product to melt into your skin. 

 

• Cream contour - To blend your contour makeup without brushes, start by dotting the cream contour under your cheekbones and below your jawline. Blend the contour with your ring finger using a downward motion. This will help create a subtle shadow and give you a sharp look! 

 

• Eyeshadow – If you’re wondering how to apply eyeshadow without a brush, here’s a simple technique. Start by dipping your ring finger in a matte eyeshadow and gently dab it across your upper eyelid. With the same process, apply a shimmery eyeshadow across your lids and blend well with your fingers. This will help you create a simple eye look that looks stunning! 

2. Tissue

While fingers are your true MVP when doing your makeup without brushes, using them to apply powder products for your face makeup can be tricky. Tissues can come in super handy in situations like these! If you’re wondering how to apply blush without a brush, this is the simplest technique. Applying powder blush, bronzer and highlighter with a soft tissue is super-efficient. Simply swirl the tissue lightly in the product and remove the excess product at the back of your hand. Place the product gently on the desired areas and buff it with dabbing motions. 

3. Q-tip

A small but mighty tool, a Q-tip is super useful for doing your makeup when you are in a fix. The sharp end of the Q-tip can be used to smudge out your kajal for a smokey look. It is also useful to use a Q-tip for makeup. You can use it to sharpen your eyeliner or fix the bleeding of your lipstick. You can also create a subtle cut crease look by using Q-tips for makeup. Add dark eyeshadow to your crease with a Q-tip for a precise application. You can use the other end of the Q-tip to diffuse the pigment and give it a flawless finish. 

4. Cotton ball

After you are done with your makeup, it is super important to set it all in place. Using a cotton ball for makeup is super handy in this situation. Here’s your solution on how to apply face powder without a brush. Simply dip your cotton ball in some pressed powder or loose powder and swipe it across your face. This will deposit the right amount of product and ensure you get a smooth finish with your makeup.
