I just started really getting into make-up. I know all about eye make up but foundation and stuff baffles me. I bought a brush set and there is one brush for powder and one for foundation. I have–what i think is–a powder foundation. I usually use the foundation brush to apply it, today I used the powder brush and it came out FREAKIN AMAZING! But I still want to know what the difference is and if I might need to change my routine.

Usually if you use a liquid foundation, you apply a powder over it. With a powder foundation (which is what I use), you really don’t need to unless you would like to apply a finishing powder or something over it. The Kabuki brush is a great brush for powder foundation.
im a little confused.. what brand are you using? i use revlon compact and it’s absoutley wonderful… but im a little confused on what your using.
If you have a powder foundation use the powder brush. Powder foundation is best for light to med. coverage which would be best for you since you might be a little young. If you use liquid and powder foundations together they give you a much older look since most older (25+) women use. Unless the older look is what you are going for.
One thing for certain always use the right brush to apply your make up. As you saw it can make a big difference.

well, if you have a liquid foundation, it will look best putting pressed powder over it, it’ll make it look more matte, and will reduce the look of foundation lines
now with mineral foundation is a little less work, i dont think you will really need a pressed powder for a mineral foundation as it kind of is a foundation and a pressed powder, all rolled into one : )
yes so i would stick with the mineral foundation for now ( :
it’s best to go for the simpler option if you have just started to get interested in make-up
hope i helped (:
The foundation brush is for apply liquid foundation & the powder brush is for apply powder either by itself or on top of the foundation you are already wearing, because it sets your makeup.
But by all means, do what you want with your makeup/brushes… there is no “wrong” way!
