Eye makeup brushes: Which eyeshadow brush is suitable for what?

For many, the topic of eye makeup is a real challenge. Once you have chosen one or more eyeshadow colors, the next question arises: Which brush is suitable for the base and which one for my lash line? In fact, eyeshadow brushes have different bristle bindings and therefore apply the product differently. Here you will find a small overview of which of our brushes can be used for what on the eye.

1. Primer

For priming, our flattened #5 Flat Detail Brush is suitable. With it, you can evenly and softly prime your eyelid with light or darker eyeshadow shades and blend harsh transitions.

2. Movable eyelid

With our classic #5 Flat Detail Brush, you can apply your powder or cream eyeshadow on the movable lid or precisely in the crease. It is especially suitable for dark and colorful shades.

3rd eyelid crease

You can use our #7 Soft Shading Brush very well for the eyelid crease. It allows you to blend your eyeshadow particularly gently and easily.

4. Eyelashes and highlights

With our flattened #5 Flat Detail Brush, you can intensify your upper and lower lash lines with a darker eyeshadow. This allows you to create a natural or dramatic eye look.

We hope this post has helped you and supports you in your daily beauty routine.
