I was one of those girls who would turn to Youtube so many times to learn the “Smokey Eye tutorial”. I was left looking like a 2 year old had put eyeshadow on me.
Indeed I was sad. Smokey eyes is something I always wanted to perfect but I never could work it out.
I went off and bought identical eyeshadows… no dice. I would end up wiping the mess of blackness from my eyes over and over again, bowing my sorry panda looking face in a pile of make up wipes.
For a person like me who adores the dark look, I had to have damned smokey eyes! I would marvel so much at these artists who I thought had that special something that I lacked from inside. It wasn’t practice because lord knows how often I tried this “look”.
I always had an issue with eyeshadow in the crease and I finally came across a brush that led me immediately to having the same “masterful” hand as the Youtube “beauty Gurus”. Turn your attention to that 2nd brush from the right. The blonde and dark tip one “Pointed Crease E48″ Then the 2nd from the left… the “Diffused Crease E38″ THESE brushes are a gift from the eyeshadow gods from above.
The first time I used the pointed crease brush, I was gobsmacked. It was like it had this symbiotic relationship with the eyeshadow and my hand and applied the shadow flawlessly, perfectly without having to guess where to stop. It.. knew
This is the kit I bought when I had enough of using an array of other brands. These are my staple brushes for eyeshadow.
I realised it wasn’t all about the “guru” It was wielding a tool where it DOES matter. It has little to do with the masterful hand.
This Christmas grab one of these kits. They are absolutely amazing.
