Mastering Eyeshadow Brushes: A Visual Application Guide

Some essential eyeshadow brushes are a fluffy eyeshadow brush which is the eyeshadow blending brush, precision crease brush, flat shader brush and angled eyeliner brush. With these eyeshadow brush types in your arsenal, you can pull off any look! But don't forget your eyeshadow brush care. Eyes are pretty delicate so you should be careful about what you put near them. Cleanse regularly and store them properly.

To pack on colour, use a flat eyeshadow brush like the Lakmē Absolute Makeup Master Tools - Dual Ended Eyeshadow Brush's flat end. Load the brush with eyeshadow pigment by gently pressing it onto the pan, then pat the colour onto the eyelid for intense pigmentation. Use sweeping motions to distribute the colour evenly and build up the desired intensity, ensuring a vibrant and bold eye makeup look.

One of the simplest blending eyeshadow tips is to use a fluffy blending brush like the Lakmē Absolute Makeup Master Tools - Dual Ended Eyeshadow Brush's fluffy end. Start with a light hand and use windshield wiper motions in the crease to softly diffuse the colours.

Transition shades play a crucial role in seamless eyeshadow blending by providing a smooth gradient between different eyeshadow colours. Apply a neutral transition shade slightly above the crease with an eyeshadow blending brush to help soften harsh lines and create a seamless transition between lighter and darker shades. Transition eyeshadow blending ensures a cohesive and well-blended eye makeup look.

For crease eyeshadow application, use a precision crease brush to apply a darker eyeshadow shade into the natural crease of the eyelid. Use back-and-forth motions to deposit colour and then blend out any harsh lines for a seamlessly defined crease, adding dimension and creating a flattering eye shape.

Utilize small brushes for precision eyeshadow application and highlights to the eyes. Dip a small detailing brush into a shimmering eyeshadow or highlighter and apply it to the inner corner of the eyes and brow bone for an instant brightening effect, enhancing the overall eye makeup look with subtle highlights and defining features.

Angular brushes are perfect for eyeshadow lining techniques such as sharp lines and shapes in eye makeup looks. Use an angular brush to apply eyeshadow or eyeliner along the lash line for precise definition, or to create sharp winged eyeliner looks. The angled shape of the brush allows for effortless application and precise control, ensuring crisp and clean lines with ease.

For the perfect cut-crease tutorial, start by carving out the crease with a concealer or eyeshadow primer using the angled edge of the brush. Then, carefully apply a contrasting eyeshadow colour above the cut crease line to define and accentuate the crease, ensuring a sharp and defined cut crease that adds drama and dimension to the eye makeup look.

To apply liquid eyeshadow like Lakmē Absolute Explore Liquid Eye Shadow Duos, start by applying a small amount of product directly onto the eyelid using the wand applicator. Blend the eyeshadow quickly using tapping motions or synthetic eyeshadow brushes to ensure even coverage and seamless blending. For a more intense look, layer the product and allow each layer to dry before applying the next.

When applying pressed powder eyeshadow like Lakmē Absolute Spotlight Eyeshadow Palette, use a flat eyeshadow brush to pick up the desired shade and gently pat it onto the eyelid. Blend the eyeshadow using windshield wiper motions or circular motions for a smooth and even application using a fluffy brush.

To apply creamy eyeshadow like Lakmē Absolute Explore Eye Paint, use your fingertip or a synthetic brush to pick up a small amount of product and apply it onto the eyelid. Blend the creamy eyeshadow using tapping motions or a blending brush for a smooth and even application.

When applying an eyeshadow stick like Lakmē Absolute Explore Eye Shadow Stick, simply swipe the stick directly onto the eyelid and blend the colour using your fingertip or blending eyeshadow brushes for a smokey look. Work quickly as eyeshadow sticks tend to set quickly, ensuring even coverage and seamless blending.

To set eyeshadow and help it last longer throughout the day, you can use a translucent or setting powder. After applying your eyeshadow, lightly dust a small amount of translucent powder over the eyelids using a fluffy brush. This helps to lock the eyeshadow in place, prevent creasing, and absorb any excess oil on the eyelids, ensuring a long-lasting and flawless eye makeup look.

Usually, if the eyeliner isn't pigmented enough, you have to apply it before eyeshadow. But if you want to put it after and want a clear canvas for your eyeshadow game, we've got something for you. Try the Lakmē Eyeconic Pro Brush Liner which is super intense and glides smoothly even over eyeshadow, glitter and liquid eyeshadow.

For a basic eyeshadow look, you can get away with using just two eyeshadow brushes: a flat shader brush and a fluffy blending brush. The flat shader brush is used to pack colour onto the eyelid and the fluffy blending brush is for blending and softening harsh lines.
