Renowned makeup artist Pat McGrath, known for her work with top brands and celebrities, often opts for her fingers over brushes when applying makeup.
The key benefit? The natural heat from your hands liquefies products, making eyeshadow easier to blend seamlessly and foundation apply with a flawless finish. "Colors blend better," she shares with PureWow.
For best results and hygiene, wash your hands before and after. While direct contact might feel less sanitary for eyeshadow palettes, brushes often go days without a proper clean.
