Hey Dolls!
Today I wanted to do something a little bit differently, I wanted to focus today solely on a post about how I use and how I would recommend to use the different types of eye brushes out there. For this post I have depicted Sigma brushes, however I will also be leaving suggestions (where needed) to other brushes similar or that I use. Enjoy :)
This
brush is great for applying gel or cream eyeliner to the upper and lower
lash line, it is small enough to get into the tight space and also
allows you control over the line, be sure to use small feather strokes
for the best outcome.
This
brush is another great one for applying eye liner, it is larger than the
first brush but angled so it fits comfortably on the upper lash line
without hurting the person using it. This can also be used to help shape
and fill in your brows and apply shadows onto the lower lash line because of its flat and narrow shape.
This
brush is great for packing shadow all over the lid, but is especially
great for smudging color into the crease and on the bottom lash line,
its small enough to get into the tear duct as well to apply highlight
colors and can be used under the brow bone for highlight as well.
This
brush is perfect for apply transition colors in and right above the
crease, this is also great for blending crease color into your lid color
and blending out any harsh edges that you may have created when
applying other shadows. This could also be used as a face brush for
applying setting powder under the eyes or around the nose, in smaller
areas. Or for touch-up work throughout the day.
This
brush is perfect for packing color onto the lids and blending color out
on the upper part of the crease and into the brow bone. This is also
great for apply a sheer wash of highlight underneath the brow bone. Like
the previous brush this can also be used on the face to pat on setting
powder under the eyes and around the nose area. This could also be great
for applying bronzer down the nose and applying highlight on top of the
cheek bones, down the nose and on the cupids bow.
This
brush is great for packing on color directly to the eyelid, it covers a
large enough space that it makes applying shadow a breeze. You also
have a fair bit of control with this brush and can use it to wing out
the shadow on the outer part of your eye, or bring shadow in closer to
your nose. You can also use this to apply shadow on the lower lash line
for a more smokey effect.
This
brush is large then the other angled brush shown above and is therefore
easier to use for filling it and shaping your eye brows. You can use
this to apply powder/cream or gel products to the eye brows. You could
also use this for a more dramatic eye liner look if that's what your
going for.
Last
but not least is the brow and lash comb brush and this does exactly
what it says: this is great to use after you have applied your brow
products to comb them out and make sure they are in the right place
before applying brow gel. This brush can also be used for when you apply
mascara and find that you have had it clump, its great to run through
and break up some of those lashes without having to take off the mascara
and re-try it.
I hope you found this post helpful in some way.
Am I forgetting any important brushes?
How do you guys use these brushes?
* Let me know so I can update this post*
I wish this post was around when I was still an amateur! Very helpful, I hope some beginners stumble upon this, they'll definitely walk away from it a bit more knowledgeable(:
ReplyDeleteThanks :) I'm going to be doing a face brush one as well and then some of the different beauty tools, if you have any suggestions let me know :)
