Eye makeup brush: Which brush should I use to apply eye shadow?

by Pelén Boramir-Nabbs – August 30, 2023

For many people, eye make-up is a real challenge. Once you have decided on one or more eye shadow colors, the next question arises: Which brush is suitable for the foundation and which one for my lash line?

In fact, our brushes are bound differently and therefore work the product in differently.

Here you will find a small overview from our beauty experts about which of our brushes can be used for what on the eyes:

1. Primer

Our flattened #7 soft shading brush is ideal for foundation. You can use it to apply an even, soft base to your eyelid with light or dark eyeshadow shades, and to blend harsh transitions.

2. Movable eyelid

With our classic #6 eyeshadow brush you can apply your powder or cream eyeshadow to the mobile eyelid or specifically in the crease. It is particularly suitable for dark and colorful tones.

With our #5 Flat Detail Brush you can apply your eyeshadow particularly intensively thanks to its short and tightly bound brush hair.

3rd eyelid crease

You can also use our #7 soft shading brush for the crease of your eyelid. You can also use our round, precise and softly bound #16 blender brush . It makes it particularly easy to gently blend your eye shadow.

4. Eyelashes and highlights

With our #3 eyeliner brush you can create a natural or dramatic look. Whether very thin and subtle or thick and intense: thanks to the fine tip of our eyeliner brush you can easily draw the shape you want.

Our #5 Flat Detail Brush is also ideal for precise application on the eyes, allowing you to apply your eyeshadow close to the lash line in a color-intensive and controlled manner.

You can also use our #17 Detail Blender Brush for the upper and lower lash line to define your eye contour a little more intensely or to contour the eyelid crease. Our #17 Detail Blender Brush is also suitable for accentuated highlights under the eyebrow or in the inner corner of the eye.

All our brushes are hand-painted, vegan and available individually in our shop. To make things even easier for you, we have already put together a selection of make-up sets . Our brushes are multifunctional and suitable for light and dark tones.

We hope these tips help you and wish you lots of fun with your eye make-up.
