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!
