Eyeshadow brushes are some of the most important tools in your arsenal.

Understanding what each brush is for, and how to use it properly, will make your beauty routine more enjoyable. You’ll end up with fewer mistakes and a more gorgeous-looking result.

Tools to Help You Get the Job Done Right

The tools you’ll need for applying your eyeshadow will depend on your end goal. If you’re looking to create a stunning smoky eye, you’ll need different brushes than if you’re going for a minimalist look. Here’s how to use different types of eyeshadow brushes.

How to Use Eyeshadow Brushes Properly

Here are 5 of the most used eye makeup brushes that you’ll come across – and what they’re used for.

Basic Eyeshadow Brush

An eyeshadow brush can be used to apply shadow across your lid and in the crease of your eye. It can also be used to apply primer to your eyelids.

Tapered Eyeshadow Brush

To get a smoky eye, you’ll need to smudge your eyeshadow. A tapered brush will help you do just that – but that’s not all it’s good for. You can also use a tapered eyeshadow brush to add more contour to your eyes, making your eyes look bigger and your brow-bone more prominent.

Eyeshadow Crease Brush

To create depth, you’ll need to add a darker color to the crease of your eyelid. The eyeshadow crease brush is a smaller brush made specifically for this job.

Eyeliner Brush

You can use eyeshadow as an eyeliner with this brush. Additionally, you can “set” your pencil eyeliner by applying eyeshadow over it with an eyeliner brush.

Honorable Mention: Eyebrow Brush

An important part of making your eyes look great is to make sure your eyebrows look fantastic. Think of your eyebrows as the frame and your eyes as the work of art. A beautiful frame can enhance the art, while a lackluster frame can take away from it. Use a brow brush as a blending tool after you apply eyebrow pencil.

(Please note that within each of these categories are a variety of brushes. They come in different shapes, sizes, and bristle-types, like synthetic bristles or natural bristles.)

Choosing the right tools ensures you get the job done right, whether you’re doing your job, cooking dinner, or even applying your makeup. Learn how to use a variety of eyeshadow brushes, and you’ll be able to mix up your makeup routine even more.
