Velvet Powder Brush

Perfect for travel, this gloriously soft, full, hand-shaped brush with a shortened handle applies the perfect amount of powder, effortlessly.

Angle Brow Brush

This brush makes shaping brows with brow powder effortless and super natural looking. Can also be used to apply shadow-liner to the lash line.

Eye TransFormer Brush

This taklon brush has a contoured shape that is specifically designed to place color in between the lashes of the upper lid, creating the illusion of thicker lashes, and adding definition to the eyes.

Travel Friendly Eyeshadow Blender Brush

Made from 100 percent pony bristles to blend and soften eyeshadow for a seamless, professional look.

Eye Crease Brush

This brush is perfect for contouring the crease of the lid. Its broad tapered bristles allows for complete control.

Eyeshadow application
effectively achieved using these three must have brushes; medium eye shadow brush, medium tapered eye shadow brush, and a small angled eye makeup brush.

1. Medium Eye Shadow Brush

Use a medium head eye shadow brush, with soft but firm natural bristle hair, and a complimentary eye shadow in a light to medium shade. Sweep across the upper eye lid with a medium eye shadow brush starting on the inside and moving along the upper lash line to the outer corner, from the out corner back to the middle, over lapping blending strokes. Move upwards to the crease or into the brow bone area in horizontal sweeps (blending into the brow bone, not above).
*Note-Color should diminish and blend well as it reaches the imaginary lines of the eye zone.

2. Medium Round Tapered Eye Shadow Brush

Using the medium sized round tapered shadow brush, and a slightly deeper shadow shade, apply shadow in the natural contour of the eyelid, under the brow bone, in the shape of a shallow arc. Blend well both downward and upward being sure that the contour does not extend beyond the imaginary lines on either side of the eye.
*Note-Color should diminish and blend well as it reaches those imaginary lines.

3. Small Angled Eye Makeup Brush

This brush is great for eye makeup techniques that include blending pencil eye liner, softening harsh lines, and applying precise wet or dry eye shadow along lash lines.

I find Sicara at London Drugs okay (their travel set is extremely handy), certain Prestige brushes are good too.

I like the Annabelle angle shadow brush as well.

Mac brushes are the best! They are a great investment and can last for years if you take care of them properly. #187 (face), #217 & #239 (eyes) are my favorite.
