Ditto to what pickles said. Rather than put it on my hand, I use a round makeup sponge. You load it up by rubbing the sponge in circles on the makeup cake. The friction from doing this will warm up the makeup and make it easier to apply.
Also. FWIW, shave just before you have to apply the makeup. you will get better results.

I use a little baby oil first I also use a blow drier on high to slightly warm then after putting it on I pat it with my wedge applacator to even it out,for touch ups on site I place it in my under arm for a few minutes.also a couple good deep breaths for small amounts works,but I have been told Im full of hot air my whole life

Try Jim Howle's make-up. I've been using it for several years and love it. The make-up is soft right out of the jar and goes on very easy.

I use the Ben nye, I do like Scruffy suggested, I load it on a round sponge then pat it on. Humidity and your own natural skin oil can effect how the make up works for you. I Love the Ben nye, but you might want to try a few others to see if one suits you better.

there are lots of responses in the old post, every one has their own method, I use pro-face make up remover, on a thick baby wipe, usually only takes one wipe and the remove is a water soluable oil so it comes off easy for me.

Default baby wipes work great!

I used to use baby oil to remove my makeup.. but after years of that I decided to use baby wipes.. Kirkland brand from Costco are great. Also the all natural ones from huggies work if you do not have costco!
