Sometimes, you just don't have time to faff about with brushes, and you want products you can reach for and apply easily with nothing but your bare hands. Normally, that's just every Monday for me. I've developed a pretty foolproof repertoire for these days, with products that I think work best with just fingers.
For base, I'm all about the Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Foundation, which I think looks equally as good applied with fingers as it does a brush. This stuff just blends really nicely, and can be built up in different areas for extra coverage. It's good stuff, and everyone needs a bottle of this to hand.
A product that looks best when blended out with fingertips is the No7 Pop and Glow Blush in Soft Rose. I take this in a stripe along my cheek, and just blend it with my fingers. Soft pink cheeks that look naturally wind-bitten. Perfect.
I'm obsessed with highlighter at the moment, and rarely go a day without it, it just makes such a difference to my complexion. I like to take a blob of the Smashbox Halo Highlighting Wand and tap it onto my cheekbones with my fingers. This is really pretty and it just looks super natural.
For eyes, I'm all about easy to apply cream shadows, and nothing epitomises that more than the Josie Maran Coconut Watercolour Eyeshadows, particularly the shade Playa Del Pink. I just dab a bit onto the center of my lids and blend out with fingers. Job done.
And lastly, a special mention to the Rimmel Kate Moss Matte Lipstick in 107. I'm pretty terrified of bold lips, so I like to take a little of this on my finger and press it into my lips, for a berry stain, rather than a bold look. I'm obsessed with this right now!
