If you are still using liquid foundation makeup (nothing wrong with that, although you should just try mineral makeup), using a sponge to apply it with is a must; reason being is that you can spread bacteria onto your skin via your fingers.  Bacteria can wreak a whole host of problems, including breakouts and even skin infections. 

Not only is using your fingers a bad idea from a bacteria perspective, it also stretches the skin, thereby creating creases, wrinkles and over time, sagging skin.  Using your fingers to apply foundation also gives an un-blended appearance. 

Fingers, no.  Makeup sponges, yes.  Regularly change makeup sponges and wash them under hot, soap water.  Allow to air dry.  Try triangle sponges (pictured) for hard to reach areas such as the eyes.
