Once she's done with the full face, Pae mists the sponge once more and pats it all over the face. "The skin looks so fresh and glowy," she says. Also, because the foundation is spread so thinly, it won't crease or cake throughout the day.

You’ll love how this tool seamlessly delivers pigment over those hard-to-reach areas around the nose and mouth too. That's why we asked three makeup artists and beauty experts to weigh in on the trend and share their favorite ways to apply foundation. What are the benefits of the makeup spatula?And Thompson agrees, she says brushes and sponges are the perfect tools. "As a makeup artist I do favor brushes and I find them to be easier to clean, but sponges work well and can be really good for the novice makeup user," she says. Applying foundation for mature skin You don’t want the spatula to settle into any areas of the skin. Especially for acne-prone skin, you really don’t want to be pressing that inflammation down and those breakouts into the skin ... you also could be spreading that bacteria," says Scibelli. Expert-favorite ways to apply foundation Every beauty lover needs the right tools to create their ideal look and Piccasso’s makeup spatula delivers a high-quality performance when it comes to applying your foundation.

Our experts had varying thoughts on this trend. New York City-based makeup artist and beauty expert, Neil Scibelli, says that although he hasn't personally used this method on his clients, he does think it's an innovative and unique way to apply makeup as it allows for gradual layering. For beauty expert Jeannia Robinette, it ultimately seems like a messy and time-consuming process.If you watch one of the many highly-viewed videos with the # makeupspatula tag (which has over 12.7 million views on TikTok), you'll see TikTokers using the metal tool for foundation application. Effortlessly using a makeup spatula to layer on their coverage, the short clips had us thinking: What is the best way to apply your foundation? Scibelli is open to clean fingers for a sheer finish but he loves using both a sponge and a foundation brush, especially for those looking for fuller coverage. Made from tarnish-resistant stainless steel, this chic foundation tool helps you to apply a thin layer of base without the risk of caking or piling. Smoothed onto skin, you’ll get that dewy, lit-from-within luminescence from your natural complexion with all the perfection of a light coverage finish. Scibelli adds that the process will help you achieve a fluid and buildable texture. "I think you can use a spatula to sort of pat on products, especially concealer on any blemishes, rednesses or areas that need that additional coverage," he says. However, he does mention that people with certain skin types might want to avoid the spatula method, such as people with acne-prone or maturing skin.
