The perfect makeup application requires the right tools. Just like painting and drawing, having the right brushes and medium can help an artist create better artwork. In this post, I want to share some of my favorite tools and why I like them. Starting with my favorites,
Trish McEvoy brushes and
Sonia Kashuk Blending Sponge. I love Trish McEvoy brushes for the simple reason that they work, they make applying shadow quick and easy. Most eyeshadow brushes are flat, which takes repetitive application before you can start blending. Trish McEvoy brushes are round and fluffy, and fit most eye shapes perfectly. Their #29 blending brush works well because it is much shorter and slightly firmer than most blending brushes, it really concentrates on blending an area instead of pushing away the shadow. #41 is great for applying shadow liner on the bottom of the eye. I like using #55 for overall base color on the entire lid and for applying liquid illuminator on the cheekbones. But my most favorite brush is Trish McEvoy #45, it's the perfect shadow brush! Another reason why I love these brushes are because they are short, which makes them fit easily into cosmetic pouches. Next, I want to share with you the best sponge I've found, Sonia Kashuk Blending Sponge. You may find this little magical puff online or at Target in the cosmetics section. It doesn't come with any directions on the packaging, which might be a little frustrating for non professional ladies who likes to wear makeup daily. But here's how to use it. This sponge must be used damp. Don't try to use it dry, it'll absorb all your makeup. It's a magical sponge because you can use it for liquid foundation, then set your foundation with powder using the same sponge, you can even apply blush and shadow with it! Don't apply with a wiping downward motion like most people do with sponges. Instead, this sponge is to be used in a stippling motion. Use the pointed side for nose and eyes area. If you love makeup and all things related, you must've also seen or heard of the Beauty Blender. It's a pink egg shaped sponge. I've also tried the beauty blender but came back to Sonia Kashuk sponge because I like the shape of this sponge better, it's much easier to hold. When it comes to tools, I always suggest to splurge a little. Take good care of them and they will last a long time.
