1. Stippling is done with a brush with bristles -- not a taklon flat brush like the 190 or 191. Stippling is usually done with a 187/188 or a 109 -- or any similar brush. Stippling is kind of like blotting on the product in small areas.

2. After you stiple, you blend with the same brush -- again in small areas and then in broader strokes.

3. Buffing is what you do with a larger brush -- a brush like a 150 or again your 187 and that is usually done in circular motions all over your face.

You should take out your foundation and line up your brushes -- follow the basic moves and you will learn by practice. That is really the only way to learn.
