E65 – Small Angle: This brush performs double duty by working to fill in sparse areas of brows, as well as to apply gel or liquid eye liner along the lash line.

E55 – Eye Shading: The E55 was a top pick for its versatility to densely apply shadow all over lid, resulting in a strong and precise color payoff.

E25 – Blending: A blending brush is needed to achieve a seamless shadow application. This one fits the bill thanks to its perfectly shaped tip and soft but firm bristles.

F80 – Flat Kabuki: Known for its ability to buff on foundation to reveal nothing short of a flawless finish, this one will go down in history as our all-time favorite.

F40 – Large Angled Contour: The angle of the F40 makes for easy application of blush, bronzer and/or highlighter to enhance and define cheekbones. Talk about a multi-purpose must-have!
