eyeshadow brushes

There are many different types of eyeshadow brushes. Are you looking to buy some new brushes or already have some?

Here are some examples..

Do you have Shoppers Drug Mart in Salmon Arm? I use Quo brushes which are nice..

ALL OVER SHADOW BRUSHTo apply a base shadow colour on eye lids. * I use this brush. It is large and just sweeps the color over the lids, giving a soft effect.*

CREASE BLENDER BRUSHShaped and pointed to blend that dark crease eye shadow. * I use this for applying and blending a darker eyeshadow in my crease*

One of my favorite brushes that really picks up eyeshadow pigment, and packs the color on my lids, is MAC #242.

MAC has good quality brushes but if you are looking for cheaper prices check out Quo.

Hope this helps!

Sometimes I don't know whether you are serious or not. Pigments are just like eye shadow so I thought you would know. I guess not.

 

[Ricci]

Well assuming isnt always good as you can see... but no I only read about info about pigments and basically ignored the eyeshadow information.. untill I seen some e/s and then decided to buy some

and why would I joke around about an eyeshadow question??

Because there are countless threads on what primer/base to use and everyone says udpp. and everyone asks about pigments.

 

[Ricci]

I know some people use a base for cheap end e/s but wasnt sure for MAC e/s

I wasnt asking about pigments

I use UDPP with my MAC eyeshadows, and they don't crease all day! It helps the colors look even more vibrant, too! It's great!
If you can get ahold of UDPP, I'd DEFINITELY recommend it!

Oh, btw, I tried Mary Kay eyeshadows, too. I hated them!

 

[Ricci]

Thank you

I wanted to make sure ..Yes MK shadows are lousy
