BRUSHES !!

There are a lot of different type of brushes to do your make up, there is one for blending, one to apply the eye shadow, one to apply concealer and foundation and much more. So, this time i will let you know based on my opinion the 4 basic brushes you will need to apply your eye make up. The Brushes i will show you today are featuring three different Brands, two of the brands you can easily find it. The Brand i'm featuring are Masami Shouko, Armando Caruso and Urban Decay. Lets start with the brushes.

1. First Brush is a shadow brush from Urban Decay, i always use this brush to apply my eye shadow all over my eye lid. the bristles on this brush is really tight and soft. which makes it very easy to control. when i use this brush, i use a patting motion to apply the eye shadow, so that it really sits on your lid. this brush is more pricey though, but you can always find another brush that is cheaper and have a good quality as well,  cause now there is a lot of brand who sell brushes with a more affordable price. 

2. Second Brush is a small dome brush from Masami Shouko. I like to use this brush to put a darker eye shadow tone on the outer corner of my eyes to divine my eyes. I use it by creating a C shape on the outer corner, to create a more dramatic look on it by deepen the color on the crease. This brush is the perfect one, if you really want a perfect shape on your outer corner, cause you will have more control on it and also you can create any shaped you want.

3. Angled Shadow brush, from Armando Caruso, this is a 2 in 1 brush. Because you can use it for your eyeliner or eyebrows. But i use this one as my eyeliner brush. When sometimes i don't want a very black eyeliner look, i always switch by using a black eye shadow instead and i apply it with this brush, This brush is a very precise brush. It makes it so easy to apply my eye shadow as an eyeliner, very easy to work with and the bristles also didn't felt like its poking your eyes. you can also use this brush with a gel liner.

4. Last but not least is my favorite brush from all, its the Tapered Blending Brush from Masami Shouko, This is a fluffy with a long bristles brush with a tapered tip. This brush ideally, shaped to apply, contour, highlight and blend colors on the crease of the eye. I personally use this brush more to blend colors on the crease, i love blending colors with this brush, cause its really do really makes the color blends well and give your eye make up a really soft touch. 

So, the step you need to follow are. First Apply your eye shadow using the Shadow Brush (NUMBER 1), then create a shape on your outer corner and darken your crease with a Small Dome Brush (NUMBER 2), after that use a neutral color such as beige, or any skin tone color to neutralize the color to create a softer look, or to soften the dark eye shadow so it didn't look harsh, with a Tapered Blending Brush (NUMBER 4), then last but not least apply your eyeliner (eye shadow for or gel liner) with a Angled Shadow Brush (NUMBER 5). Then you'll have the look that you desire.
