How To Use Different Eye Shadow Brushes

Ever wondered what different eye shadow brushes are meant to do? Here is an easy breakdown of the function of each brush

And Sigma has its own list of brush options each having its unique purpose for enabling perfect eye shadow application.

§  E20 – Smudge brush: The soft and small flat head works best for concentrated color application onto small areas of the eye. It can also be used to smudge out shadow or liner on the lash line for a smoked out effect.

§  E30 – Pencil brush: The soft, tapered tip allows for precise application of shadow directly into the eye’s crease, outer corner, and onto the upper and lower lash line. Similar to the E20, the E30 is also the perfect tool for smudging eyeliner to achieve a soft, smokey eye. *Best-seller!

§  E47 – Shader – Crease brush: The long and firm bristles make application of color to the crease a breeze! Use it to apply deep shades in the crease to add depth and dimension to the eyes.

§  E50 – Large Fluff brush: The wide, flat and soft bristles can be used for controlled highlighting of the brow bone or to buff out harsh eye shadow lines. *Best-seller!

§  E55 – Eye Shading brush: The soft and dense bristles give an even application of color onto the lid with both pressed and loose eye shadow, making this the most standard and popular of eye shadow brushes.

§  E56 – Shader – Lid brush: The fine, oval tapered tip allows for precise color application onto specific areas of the lid.

§  E60 – Large Shader brush: The firm, large and flat head works to uniformly cover the entire lid with product. Use it apply eye shadow base or cream eye shadow for quick and even coverage.

§  E70 – Medium Angled Shading brush: The soft, angled edge creates a soft application of color in the crease or on the brow bone.

Which one is your favorite eye shadow brushes? I normally prefer to use a large fluff brush all over my lid as I'm usually in a hurry - when I do have time I make use of the crease brush for adding more dimension!
