The Right Brush: Eye Shading and Shadows

Mar. 19, 2024

Finding the right brush to create a look you want can seem complicated and overwhelming, especially for those who aren't professional makeup artists. Here, I break down all of the tiny detail brushes that often can aid in simplifying the creation of all looks-from simple daytime looks to evening glam.

Eye Shader Brush:

A small flat brush made of pony hair with medium bristle density, meant for eye shadow application.

Pro tip: Spray the bristles with a hydration spray to apply eye shadow/shimmer more opaquely.

Eye Contour Brush:

Similar to the eye shader brush, this brush is meant to apply eye shadows. It has a soft angled tip to help create shape and apply accent colors.

Pro tip: This brush is perfect for applying a brow highlight or anyone trying to easily create the popular cut-crease look.

Crease Brush:

As its name describes, it is a brush created to help blend out eye shadows in the crease of the eye. Its soft, tapered bristles create a soft blended finish to any look.

Pro tip: The best brush for finishing a smokey evening look or blending a simple daytime look.

Smudge Brush:

Like its name, it is perfect for smudging out liners or shadows to create a less defined, more blended eyeliner look.

Pro tip: Apply pencil liner to crease and blend with smudge brush for a perfect cut-crease look.

Angle Eyeliner Brush:

This brush's bent angle is perfect for applying a beautiful winged liner look.

Pro tip: Use with gel eyeliner for an easy glide, making winged liner less difficult even for those less experienced in makeup application.

Angle Liner/Brow Brush:

This versatile and multi-functioning brush is perfect for applying eyeliner or applying brow powders.

Pro tip: This brush can be used anytime a precise line is necessary. For example, trying to create a cut-create eye look or applying concealer/highlighter right below brow hairs.

Moral of the story: makeup brushes come in all different shapes and sizes. And for good reason—no two brushes are alike and each tool serves a purpose when it comes to achieving your desired look. We're here to help!
