Eyeshadow and Eyeliner Brushes
With the right eyeshadow and eyeliner brushes, the result will be amazing
Both your everyday routine and makeup for special occasions will be much easier with the right eyeshadow brushes. They’re here to make things as easy as possible for you. Properly selected and high-quality eyeshadow and eyeliner brushes are the key to perfect and stunning results!
What an eyeshadow brush can be used for
- Use the eyeshadow brush to uniformly apply individual shadows to your eyelid.
- Gently smudge colour differences.
- Apply exquisite eyeliner.
An eyeshadow applicator is an integral part of perfect makeup. Eye brushes make it easy to apply and then blend eyeshadow on your eyelids, under your brows, and in the corners and creases of your eyes. The bristles are either synthetic or natural, and differ in shape and size.
The difference between natural bristles and artificial fibres
Fine and porous natural bristles are better suited for powder eyeshadow, which they apply and shade beautifully. Artificial fibres are ideal for applying cream eyeshadow, hold their shape well, and can also be used for fine details and eyeliner. All eyeliner and eyeshadow brushes are available individually or in sets.
For your eyes to be perfectly defined, fascinating, and striking, you need a suitable brush. You can pick from various types – round, angled, flat… Sponge applicators for eyeshadow are also popular.
Types of eyeshadow and eyeliner brushes
- Thanks to its flexibility and tip, a round eyeshadow brush is an excellent tool for precise application of powder eyeshadow and shading the eyelid crease and corner. It is excellent for layering and blending eyeshadow.
- Flat brushes are firmer and mainly used for precise application of eyeshadow. But shadowing isn’t their strongest point.
- Somewhere in between is a gimmick in the form of a flat brush with a rounded tip.
- A flat eyeliner brush with a slightly angled tip is used for precise eyeliner application. It will make drawing precise lines along the lashes a breeze! It applies, smudges, and blends eyeshadow easily and well. As a bonus, you can also use it to smudge a pencil or highlight individual brow hairs.
- With a fluffy eyeshadow applicator, you will easily achieve highly intense colours thanks to comfortable layering of eyeshadow on the lids. It is often popular with those who are just starting to learn how do makeup.
Tip: Now it’s clear which eyeshadow brush you should use – use a flat brush to apply eyeshadow, use a round one to blend it, and a flat brush with an angled tip to add eyeliner.
Step-by-step eyeshadow application with a brush
The shape and bristles of eyeliner and eyeshadow brushes are adapted to pick up the required amount of both powder and cream eyeshadow and apply it precisely and easily. Pay attention to application along the lid crease all the way to the brow. Apply as many layers as you need to achieve the intensity you’d like.
- First apply an eyeshadow primer – it will make your makeup last longer.
- Apply darker shades to the eyelid crease and above the lash line, and lighter shades to the moving part of the eyelid.
- Smudge and blend the shades.
- Use an angled brush to add precise eyeliner.
- Do you want to make your eyes longer? Extend the eyeliner to the outer corner to create “cat’s eyes”.
