Blending Makeup Brush = Smokey Eyes

On a daily basis I meet so many people who come to me for a smokey eye to go out. What everyone doesn't understand is that, its about having the right eyeshadow brush.

Using a flat shadow brush apply C shade across your whole lid , you may go all the way up to your brow bone.
A,B
C,D

Choose either B shade to apply in your crease.

Use D shade for blending with your blending brush (see below).


There are different brands of blending brushes you can use (natural or synthetic). Natural brushes are a little more pricey but an investment since they last for years. Synthetic brushes need to replaced more often.
The bristles all pretty much look the same. It has a fluffy soft tip.

Ok back to the blending part.

Using shade D make sure you don't put a lot of product on your brush. Always start with just a little bit, you can always add more if needed.
You are going to start at the corner of your lid.


Making circular motions blending right above and into your crease.

Use shade A to highlight under your brow bone.
Keep practicing you will be an expert in no time.
