The point on the brush is also great for winging out your shadow for a more smoky look. Katie Jane Hughes, a MIMI squad member and celebrity and editorial makeup artist, explains so perfectly why literally every makeup artist adores this brush.
It's probably the one that I see most in other artists kit and I have about four of them in my kit. The tapered top just a diffuses the edge of your eyeshadow really well and seamlessly. The handle is weighted, which literally takes the work out of a gorgeous, seamlessly blended eyeshadow that looks like it is melted into your skin perfectly.
Lindsey Williams of crazypretty happens to be one incredible makeup artist. Here's what makes her reach for this brush again and again Smith brushes are beautifully designed and ergonomically weighted. This brush is similar to the fluffy, tapered brush above, but its smaller tip allows for even more precision. A blending brush like this one is really great for applying and blending a cut-crease look. This aspect makes them perfect for using without any product to blend out an eye look.
Use light pressure around the brow bone to help crease colors seamlessly fade, and use slightly more pressure in the crease to blend multiple colors. Like the small, tapered brush mentioned above, a brush like this is also good for applying and blending shadows for a cut-crease or other concentrated look. However, the shorter bristles make this brush ideal for blending out eyeliner or eyeshadow on the lash-line.
For soft winged-eyeliner, try applying eyeshadow in a wing-shape with an angled eyeliner-brush, and then blending out the edges with a petite, tapered blending-brush like this one. It's meant to be a concealer brush and excels at it, but it also does a great job cleaning up lip lines or doing a strong cat eye. The Smith Cosmetics Microliner Brush won a Best of Beauty Award two years in a row for its stubby-yet-fine bristles that help create the fiercest flicks with simple strokes.
The size is just like my finger — except you should never use your finger to apply concealer under your eyes. It gets floppy and cakey. One of the most innovative Best of Beauty Award winners in the tool category is this two-in-one brush. One side of the Shiseido Daiya Fude Face Duo is a seemingly fluffy brush for sweeping on powder formulas. However, the center of it is composed with densely packed bristles to make sure products go on evenly and seamlessly.
The other end of the brush is topped with a cushiony gel that has a fingertip-like application effect for tapping on liquid and cushion formulas. It will help you keep your hands off your face and create a more hygienic makeup routine. I load liquid foundation directly on the bristles and apply it onto the skin in a circular motion. I can also apply foundation with my fingertips then buff it in with the brush. I also use it to prep the skin when with face lotion, just as I would with liquid foundation.
The bristles are both fluffy but firm, making it ideal to deposit color and blend. Luxie makes one of my favorites: the sweet pink handle makes it easy to find in my makeup bag, and the synthetic, soft bristles blend out shadow effortlessly. I know this may seem like a lot of pomp and circumstance for one little brush, but a fluffy blending brush does so much more than just eyeshadow.
