So there are fluid textures, compact ones ( fluid combined with powder), powders, mineral or mousse (somewhat compact, but mixt in such way to have air in it). Each has different coverage powers, fluid ones being the lightest on the face. Mineral ones are the most natural, but some people break out from them. In my opinion compact and mousse are the most "heavy" on the face.
If you want an even more sheer and light coverage ( for the summer, for example) either mix your foundation with moisturizer or get a tinted moisturizer (it's the same thing, but in a pre-made product).
How to apply:
1. The first way, is with your most trusty "accessory" : your fingers. Believe it or not that is the most used way in applying foundation. Be sure to wash your hands before and after applying, and in this way you can make sure you won't get bacteria on your face. Use circular motion. Start from the center of your face and work it to the hair line and under the chin, neck and chest.
2. Second way is with a sponge, next in line after fingers. But a small amount on the back of your hand and press the sponge on to it. Then press it on your face.In this way you will cover all the imperfections and bumps on your face.
3. Third way is with a foundation brush. Be careful to wet or moist your brush, or else the brush will make streaks on your face. With this you need to start from the margins of your face to the center. Again, put a small amount on the back of your hand, press the brush on and then work it on your face.
4. For this step you need a stippling brush. Again, take your foundation and press the flat part of the bristles on the product. Then either do circular motions on your face or stipple it (press lightly and fast). This will make a air brush effect.
5. You can also use a air brush device. But I don't think Sephora brings them here for now.
