Makeup brushes can drastically change the outcome depending on how you use them. In this article, we'll introduce step-by-step recommendations for brushes to use when applying eyeshadow, from base to point.
Tips Based on Brush Types
1. For the base step, we mainly use three types of brushes: a wide brush for the eyelid and a small brush for the under-eye area. In particular, the No. 206 brush, with its medium size, is highly versatile as it can finish both the eyelid and under-eye base at once. Its soft bristles provide a comfortable experience without irritating the skin.
2. For shading makeup, I recommend two blending brushes. Each has different lengths and widths which affect the pigmentation. The No. 207 brush is great for detailing in areas like the inner corners and outer corners of the eyes, allowing for rich and vibrant color payoff thanks to its small size. On the other hand, if you prefer a more natural and soft look, try using the No. 205 brush to apply contour gently.
3. Finally, for the point makeup step, the No. 312 point brush is perfect. Its adequate size, round shape, and soft bristles excel at creating a natural eyeliner look. The length isn't too short, allowing for delicate touches and finely detailed finishes.
Ultimately, if you utilize the right brush for each step in makeup, anyone can easily achieve a professional look. Explore various brushes and find the style that suits you best.
