Blender brush
Blender brushes are typically made of natural hair and are thinner than blush brushes. You can use blender brushes to blend out harsh lines that are sometimes left over after applying blush or bronzer. They’re great for hard-to-get-to places that you’ll find when contouring your nose.
Wide eyeshadow brush
Made with natural bristles, wide eyeshadow brushes are what you’d use to both blend and sweep the color onto your lid. If you’re using an eyeshadow that leaves a lot of fallout on your cheeks, you can use this brush to gently press or pat the product onto your lid, rather than sweeping it on. The head of a wide eyeshadow brush is firm, but not rigid, and flat with a gradual-tapered shape. When you use the edge of this brush, you can define your crease by pressing the product onto your crease.
Eye Blender Brush
This brush has fluffy bristles made of natural hair with a tapered head. You can use this brush in circular motions or in a sweeping motion to blend out harsh lines.
Define and/or contour brush
An eye define and/or contour brush is slightly fuller than an angled brush, and is used for contouring and defining your crease. Different shapes of these brushes are available; some are in the shape of angled brushes and others are similar to a blending brush, only smaller. So if you’re missing a blending brush, you may be able to use this brush to blend your harsh lines depending on the shape you have.
Angled brush
Angled brushes are great for applying color close to the lash line, and for creating winged eyeliner. These brushes have short bristles that are cut at an angle, and when wet, can be used to apply eyeliner.
Pencil brush
Pencil brushes are smaller than blending and contour brushes, and are stiffer with a domed-shape that comes to a point similar to a pencil. They’re great for smudging eyeliner out, creating a soft smoky eye, and for defining your crease.
