As we stroll the isles of Sephora or the local drugstore for a set of face brushes, one can often wonder what they are used for and how to use them. More specifically, eye brushes are usually misunderstood and used incorrectly. Here is a brief how to and which brushes you need.

 

Brush #1: The Brow Brush: A stiff, short cut bristled brush cut an angle for the perfect styled eyebrow arch. It's also used for applying some slight "fill-in" color to your brows, giving you a defined look.

 

 

 

 

Brush #2: The Eye Blender Brush: A semi-long bristled, soft, fluffy brush. Ideal and designed for the perfect application of eye shadow without the crease because of the stupendous blending this brush achieves. You can use this for applying some correcting powder around the eyes also.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Brush #3: The Eye Contour Brush: This is one of my favorites mainly because if you aren't sure how much eye shadow to apply, once this brush is dipped into your favorite shadow color, it grabs all the color and boldness you need in one swipe!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Brush #4: The Eye Shader Brush: Wide and flat. The eye shader brush can cover the entire lid from the corner to the "brow bone".

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Brush #5: The Eye Smudge Brush: A small rounded brush with flexible bristles plus it is very soft which make it easier to smudge your eyeliner/shadow for a more naturally smudged look.
