Makeup Brush Basics: Eyes

Eyes

First eye brush: Flat, packing brush

As the name implies, this is a great brush for packing color on. Don’t be afraid to load it up! It’s meant for full coverage. You’ll blend from this foundation, so a little extra saturation is okay! For this step, I’m using my most neutral color and taking it up to the crease. As you’ll see, the flat surface of the brush works great for tapping the color on and covering more surface area. It’s a great option for the lid and the browbone.

Second eye brush: Universal, fluffy brush

The fluffy brush is a must for every collection! If you don’t have any other brush in your arsenal- this is the perfect starting brush. Although it’s usually used for applying shadow to the crease, it’s great for concealing and blending as well.

When applying color with the fluffy brush, you’ll want to tap off the excess color before applying. Then use a windshield wiper style motion in the crease area. Because it’s fluffy, it helps to blend for you.

This brush is also great for creating a smokey eye as it’s fantastic for applying color to the corners. There is an assumption that a smokey eye is only dark shadow. But it’s actually any color combination that creates depth at the lashline or corner of the eye.

Third eye brush: Eyeliner/brow angled brush

The angled brush is great for eyeliner and applying brow color. The angled brush will help you define the lashline and It can be used for a gel eyeliner or any other color shadow. The key to a great application with this brush is to gently pull eyelid away and get really close to the eye line.

Fourth eye brush: Pencil brush

When thinking about the Pencil brush, think about precision color application. This brush is great for the undereye and boosting your color intensity. This brush really gives you more control where the color is going and how bold we want it. With this brush, you can place the color where you want it, pack it in then use the fluffy brush to buff it in.

Now that you’ve mastered the eyes, make sure you have the proper tools for your face!
