Not all blending brushes are created equal, and trust us, your eyeshadow deserves better than “just winging it”.
Whether you’re cutting out a cut crease, smoking out a lash line, or doing a full-blown glitter gradient moment, the right brush can make all the difference.
There’s a blending brush for every blendy need. Let’s break it down, brush by brush!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EB1 Blending Brush
Small but mighty. The EB1 features shorter, dense hairs, giving you maximum control and a seamless blend. Perfect for detailed work, crisp edges, or when you need to blend like your life depends on it.
Best for: Precision blending, small areas, building up pigment with control.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EB2 Blending Brush
Need to buff out the boldness? The EB2 is your go-to. Its fluffy-yet-firm bristles are ideal for softening harsh edges and bringing that flawless fade. Think of it as the smooth talker of your brush bag.
Best for: Transition shades, softening graphic liner edges, diffused colour.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EB5 Blending Brush
The finishing touch queen. Once those harsh lines are softened, the EB5 steps in for that final blend – that soft, hazy perfection we’re all chasing. It’s like the setting spray of blending brushes.
Best for: Final blend pass, soft smoke, finishing work.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EB6 Blending Brush
Fluffy, dense, and a little obsessed with under-eyes. The EB6 is fab for setting your under-eye area or gently blending under the lash line without wrecking your base. Soft but not shy!
Best for: Under-eye setting, lower lash line blending, smaller detailed zones.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ES1 Smudger Brush
Compact, dense, and to the point. The ES1 is your ultimate tight-space blender – it gets into the nooks, hugs the lash line, and blends like a dream with its tapered end.
Best for: Inner corners, under-liner smoke, lid detail blending.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Blending Brush B1
This dense blender does more than just blend – it sculpts and shapes. Use it to lay down bold colour or create cool shapes with eyeshadow. It’s like your brush went to art school and graduated top of its class.
Best for: Shaping shadows, bolder blending, detailed cut-crease work.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Blending Brush B2
Your trusty smaller fluffy friend. The B2 is brilliant for blending out harsh lines in tighter areas or softly defining the crease. It’s the underrated hero of any soft glam look.
Best for: Crease blending, softening lines, smaller eye shapes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Blending Brush B3
The fluffiest of them all! If you want that blown-out, breezy blend, B3 has your back. Great for big sweeps of colour and creating a soft-focus finish that looks airbrushed AF!
Best for: All-over blending, transition shades, soft glam finishes.
