It was so hard to whittle this post down to just 6 brushes. (It was meant to be 5 but they're all just too good!) These are the brushes I reach for most. I can do a full eye look with just these alone. So lets dive right in!
First up I chose a lovely little shader brush from Sigma brushes. This is the E55. It's perfect for applying your base shadow to your lid. The hairs are quiet dense, so I don't find as much fallout with product as I do with other similar brushes. I've also had this for a few years, and after many washes it's never lost it's shape or many hairs. To me it's a classic brush that should be in everyones kit!
Next we have the Patricia from Nima brush. I nabbed this at last years beauty show and it's been a staple ever since. I use this for crease colours. It fits in the crease of my eye perfectly, and it's hairs are so soft it makes blending that much easier. All you need is a very light touch to get this brush to do it's job. Another part I really like about this (and the other brushes in the range) is the handle. It's a pretty matte duck egg blue, and feels lovely in your hand! Nice colourful addition to any kit.
One of my absolute favourite brushes ever next, the E10 from Blank Canvas Cosmetics. I think I own 3 of these in case anything were to happen to one and I couldn't replace it! This is my go to brush for a strong eye look. I'll use this for blending under the eye, to give a lovely soft smoked out effect. It's one of the softest brushes I own. I also love that even after using a black shadow, this little beaut washes up like new again! Couldn't be without this brush to be honest :)
Gel liner is a must for me for night time makeup. And finding a good brush for this has been a struggle of mine. However my favourite so far has definitely been the Synthetic Detail Liner brush from Royal & Langnickel. It's from their Silk Pro range, yet is still so affordable. I own a few of these as liner brushes don't last forever, but I've had very little hair loss out of this considering how much it has been used! It looks a little splayed in the picture after being washed, but once you place it in your liner the hairs come back together. A brush line that definitely deserve more attention.
The second time for BCC on this blog, I'm talking about the 006 blending brush. So when you're eye look is completely done, this is the brush you'll run over the top to get that final soft edge we all love. I have a few different versions of these, but this is my favourite as its more flat topped rather than round topped. I feel this gives me a softer finish overall. I also like the size of it. Makes finishing your look much quicker if you're short of time! (Upon review I'm not entirely sure if this brush is still available to buy on the site, but they have various styles which are very similar indeed :) )
And finally...not technically an eye brush, I have this angled brush from AYU brushes. I've been obsessed with eyebrows for a long time, especially getting the shape of my own sorted. Most angled brushes are too soft, or it's impossible to get a fine tip at the end of your brow. However, this is the holy grail of them all! I don't think I could ever use a different one. The hairs are strong but not so much that they drag your brow. And it is still super thin, yet packed full of brush hairs. Again, everyone needs this brush in their lives!!
Wow I said brush a lot of times! Anyway...if you'd like to pick up any of these brushes for yourself, here's where you can do so :)
