By Watkins Monae


Whether you are a professional makeup artist, or just love to apply your own creative makeup, there are certain tools you will need to create many of the makeup looks. Makeup brushes should be an essential part of your makeup collection, but with so many types and brands on the market how do you know which ones are essential?

There are four main brushes that are used to apply eye makeup which should be essential to your collection of makeup tools. The first tool is a flat stiff brush. This brush is used to pick up lots of pigment and layer it onto your lids. The brush is flat to easily layer on the color. This brush is stiff, so that it can pick up a lot of pigment. You can expect to spend anywhere from $5 to $30 on a brush like this. The less expensive can be purchased at a drug store, and often times will work just as good as a more expensive brush.

The dome brush is the next essential eye makeup brush that is a must have for your makeup collection. The dome brush is used to create smokey eyes, and is great for feathering darker eyeshadow colors. The dome brush is also used to apply shadow into the creases of your eyes and is also great at picking up a lot of pigment.

The next essential eye makeup brush is the soft dome brush. The soft dome brush is similar to the stiff dome brush in shape, however the soft dome brush is used to create softer blends. You use this brush for the same things as the stiff dome brush, however you will be applying a softer amount of color as the soft dome brush picks up less pigment than the stiff dome brush. This brush can also be used to apply highlighter underneath the brows, or used to apply concealer underneath the eyes.

The pencil brush is another essential eye makeup brush. This brush is essential to creating the smokey eye look, and is used to smudge eyeliner. The smaller tip can be used to apply a more precise eyeliner look.

The final essential eye makeup brush is the angled eyeshadow brush. This brush is especially helpful for applying eyeshadow to the corner of the eyes, in the crease, or simply all over the lid. This brush is great in creating a cat eye look which seems to never go out of style.

Makeup brushes are important to creating stylish and professional looks. These essential brushes can be used to create just about every look. Brushes do not have to be expensive and you can find all of the above mentioned brushes at drug stores, and at the higher end makeup stores. Now that you know which brushes are essential, and some of their uses, get creative and start practicing new looks.
