Eyeshadow Brush

I'm just now starting to include eyeshadow with my overall look...and I was wondering if there was one brush to get what kind/brand would it be?

I'm looking at brushes on sephora and can't decide.

TIA

you will need three : one for applying your e/s, a blending brush, and a small brush, angled or not, for eyeliner or small lines.
i have a blending brush from sephora, and i'm very fond of it. you can start by sephora brushes, but if you have some money to spend, the mac brushes are worth the money. if you take care of them they'll last long.
here's pics from the mac website so yo ucan see what brushes i'm talking about :

this one is also helpful for inner corners :

those are only examples, of course, and maybe you'll need more later, but the first three are brushes i find useful each time i use e/s, which means almost everyday !

If you were only going to get one brush, this is the basic one I have from Sephora, and I use it for 90% of the stuff I put on my eyes. Sephora Professional Natural All Over Shadow Brush

MAC brushes are awesome! I think you need a small eyeshadow brush, crease brush, blending brush and a large eyeshadow brush. Those are what I use everyday.

If you want to go a little cheaper, try Essense of Beauty from CVS. Inexpensive yet pretty good quality.
