Eyeshadow Brushes? (Cosmetic!!)?
So, I've been going like CRAZY trying to figure out what types of
eyeshadow brushes i should have.
Like, do i need a blending brush, a huge eyeshadow brush, a small one. Please help me !! I've seen eyeshadow brushes that are synthetic, and then ones that are liek rlly big. Help me !!
I use makeup a lot, but i see tons of people with like trillions of eyeshadow brushes.
If you can, please give some examples of cheap eyeshadow brushes, like from eyeslipsface.com, thebrushcompany.com, and coastalscents.com
One or two MAC Brushes are okay, because SOON (not now) But SOON I will make a resolution to buy one MAC brush per paycheck .. Gotta catch em all !!

Picking out the right make up brush is a actually a pain...especially for our budget. Most people prefer MAC, of course, because of the quality.
Since it looks like you already decided to get MAC brushes, then i suggest you buy:
-MAC 217 - a bit fluffy, & it works great on pressed eyeshadows... & one thing about it, is that it's fluffy so you can also use it to blend colors. 224 is a blender brush, its fluffier than this one & does a better job in blending, but i think 217 does a good job already.
-MAC 239 - a flat brush & it's great for packing colors on your lid, but you can't do shading & blending on that brush, though personally i think an ordinary ELF brush also does a good job on packing colors. & this type of brush is better for mineral eyeshadows, because minerals are loose powders & flat brushes hold them better than fluffy ones.
-MAC 242 - a filbert cut taklon brush, if you like to use cream based shadows, then i suggest you get this one. Cream eyeshadows & primers are the ones where you can use this brush with
-MAC 266 - another angle brush though it's smaller, this one is good for creating sharp lines. the hair is more natural compare to other brush which is synthetic. What's great about 266 is that you can use it to line your lashlines specially if you use gel liners.
-MAC 219 - a pencil brush, now this one is goof for smudging. especially if you wanted to create a smoky look. Use it to smudge your eyeliner.
Anyway, to make it short it will be as follows:
217 - for blending & packing colors
239 - for packing colors especially for loose eyeshadows
242 - for cream based eye make-ups
266 - to line your lashlines
219 - for smudging
i found this nifty youtuber who gives good tutorials about make-up basics like brushes, shading & all stuff about make up. he doesn't do make up tutorials, but i recommend that you subscribe to him because his ideas are great! Like this video its about MAC brush vs painting brushes...a great alternative to MAC brushes!

Goodluck in deciding what brush you're going to get
Hope this helps you

You honestly don't need to use specific brushes, but i would use brushes from MAC or if you are looking to spend less.. drugstore ones can be just as efficient. Get a big blush brush, if you prefer a brush for foundation rather than your hands than get a foundation brush and then for your eyes, a fluffy brush is good, that's what i use, it isn't huge or small but i just it for putting on the shadow and i even use it for blending. if you use liquid eyeliner, an angle eyeliner brush works. Good luck!
well i am a professional makeup artist and i use the small little brushes with the pointy tip for eyeshaddow because it can get in the small creases
Target has Sonia Kashuk brushes and they are amazing.
