Okay, ladies & gents, it’s time to dish at our weekly open post. Pour the coffee, grab some cheesecake, we’ll be here for awhile.
There are four brushes I currently consider essential for my eye makeup application – when all is said and done, it all boils down to these brushes that blend to perfection.
1. Up & Up’s Studio Tools Crease Brush: This brush is the best $2 you will ever spend in your beauty loving life. It’s better than so many other more expensive ones on the market, seriously.
I use MAC’s 242 brush to pat color on my lids. I’ve been using this for years because it works so well, but I’m open to alternatives if anyone has a suggestion!
This brush is used to apply a light shadow to my browbone, inner eye, and to blend out the edges of my shadow application. I use the MAC 213 brush.
4. Liner brush for gel eyeliners:
A bent liner brush is the way to go. This makes lining your lids so much easier and foolproof – I promise!
What are your favorite shadow brushes?
I have always wanted to try a bent liner brush!
I have the up and up crease brush and I LOVE It! It’s perfect for those of us with hooded lids
I love how soft it is!!
Never really thought about using a liner brush until I really got into eyeshadows. Before then I didn’t even know there was such a thing!
Angled liner brush for my gel liners or if I’m going with a softer look just with shadow.
Yes, angled brushes are fab.
I love your brush posts, because I usually find a great new tool to add to my collection.
One oddity to note on this post…..
The link to your first brush takes me to TheOatmeal.com, instead of the brush’s website. I assume this was an oops that was never caught?
Oh gosh, how did that happen?! Ha ha! Thank you for catching that!!!
