If I could only pick one, this is the one. It’s ideal to have a brush that’s soft enough not to feel pokey or sharp along the eye socket, but sometimes, “softest” doesn’t translate into “best” for a particular purpose. Flatter, stiffer brushes are better for applying denser, firmer eyeshadow formulas while ultra-soft brushes are better for more buildable application. The most common shape is similar to MAC’s 239, which is a slight rectangle shape that’s moderately dense, flat but has a slightly dome-shaped edge that has subtle fluffiness that it can double for blending in a pinch.Ī fluffier, more dome-shaped edge can also double as a blending brush in a pinch and can also lay down color into the crease (using the edge to place the color). These brushes are for someone who wants stronger, more opaque color payoff from their eyeshadow onto their eyelid.

Just because a brush works magic for me doesn’t mean it necessarily will for you, so it’s important to consider what type of bristles you prefer, how your application methods differ (or are similar) to mine, and so forth. At least it holds up its shape well throughout the time I have had it which is about 4 years now.The right eyeshadow brush can go a long way for getting the coverage and finish desired in less time, and the key is identifying your own preferences, eye shape and size, and considering how varied (or not) the colors you reach for.

I noticed that if I use this brush to blend lightly and slowly with zero pressure on the skin, it will not feel scratchy at all. The brush feels soft for the most part but sometimes it can be a bit scratchy in certain angles. Highlighters that are super pigmented/sparkly are best applied with a smaller brush for more precision! You don't want to end up with sparkly bits all over the face. Highlighting the very top of cheek bones.It places the color all over the lid lightly and blends out to a soft smokey finish in no time! Good for morning rush! On days that I only want just a soft wash of one color on the lid, this is the brush I grab.
I have some serious scarring on my cheeks so this brush is great for blending out concealer in wider area to a non-cakey finish. Blending out concealer over blemishes and scarring.The hairs fan out so perfectly that it pretty much blends itself to a diffused look. The shape of the brush fits perfectly on the side of my nose! It picks up just the right amount of the contouring powder so I rarely overdose on the color. No harsh lines, no heavy or streaky appearance! Oh it is great for blending out concealer! The fluffy bristles buff out the pigment to a soft, natural-looking and even finish with such minimal effort. The head is too wide to use in a controlled manner. First of all, I do not have a prominent crease line so this brush does not do me any good in placing the color in the crease. It's too wide to use as a crease brush.All the colors get mushed together and basically become one muddy application as a result. Whenever I use it to blend my eyeshadow, it always overblends.
