Buffing your makeup is a must-do step if you want to look your best. It smooths out the skin, evens out the tone, and removes any excess product that might be sitting on your face. It's also one of the easiest steps to take, so you can do it right in front of a mirror or while watching TV. Here are some of our favorites.

Great formula, easy to buff out (there is a buff brush on the bottom of the stick so that’s convenient) and the light medium worked as a cooler toned shade for my fair-light skin tone. ...Thhe brush is very dense and soft and didn't dosturb my base makeup while buffing the contour in. I highly recommend.

I stamp it on my cheekbones and jawline, and I continue to stamp in - the traditional cream contour swiping buffing motion does not work with this product - the gel texture just pills up. ...I put little dots or thin lines where I need definition and a jawline, then use a sponge to buff and blend. The wand works perfectly, and this liquid concealer is super easy to blend.

The pigment has a big payoff without being overwhelming, very beginning friendly as you can buff away the color of you apply too much. It dried down to a satin finish and wasn’t cakey or patchy. ...I took off one star because I find it can become somewhat patchy if you apply directly to the face--I recommend using a brush and buffing into your foundation for a smoother application.

I love to apply it on top of a darker base (to amplify the pigmentation) or sometimes on its own, and buff out the edges with a fluffy synthetic brush. ...I like to apply with a fluffy brush, buffing it onto the eyelid for a sheer coverage or you can use a dense flat brush to apply an opaque coverage or a thinner brush as a liner.

However, I don’t think this would last 24 hours on its own. Applied with a buffing brush this has a nice medium cover finish without looking cakey....Applying with a brush and using the buffing method I was able to build up the coverage versus going full coverage immediately.

I tried Swim since I’m Light - Medium and when it arrived I thought it would be too dark but it buffs in very nicely with the Base Brush. I also found that it’s buildable when I get more color in the Summer....This paired with the Saie Buff brush is absolute perfection. 10000/10 I love it so much

I’ve been using this all over as for a no makeup makeup look and I’m obsessed. This blurs so well and covers any imperfections. ...My quick look to get out of the house is to do my skin care, ample sunscreen, and once that sinks in for a few minutes, applying it with a powder buffing brush blurs and smooths.

The shade is beautiful but it honestly has no pigment, I use a brush applying this product and I have to buff the brush in the pan many times to see something....I love the color, but I suggest using a brush in the pan and buffing it on as that works best.
