Mastering the art of eye makeup is not an easy job; it gets more difficult when you don’t have the right tools. If you often watch beauty gurus on YouTube and try to recreate their eye makeup look with utmost precision only to notice that your end result looks nothing like theirs, then guess what, it’s not your skills that need work, but your makeup tools that are in need of a serious upgrade.

You know how the base of your makeup looks different when you use your fingers for application and when you use a brush or makeup sponge? The same applies to eye makeup. Therefore, today we’re going to take you through the different types of eyeshadow brushes you can add to your vanity to level up your makeup skills. Take a look…
