Help me craft the BEST of the best eye brushes; holy grail eye brush edition

[sxfitzx3]

I am looking to start a collection of the best of the best eye brushes. I am not talking about sets, just individual brushes for any specific purpose. If you could add why it's #1 to you, what you use it for, or why it's better than others, I'd love you forever. Not a super cost conscious post either, just looking for the most used and highest quality brushes out there! Any feedback would be super helpful!!

Hi @sxfitzx3,

I suggest the Sephora Collection Brushes. They are affordable yet high quality and last a long time. I also suggest the BOBBI BROWN - Eye Blender Brush. 

Best Wishes,

Janean

Here are all my eyeshadow brushes. I’m sure there are better brushes I could (and might) buy, but these get the job done with no fuss. The bottom 4 need washing tonight. 

Details: 

Spoiler

Shader: MAC 239. I bought it this year to replace my decades-old MAC 144, which was my favorite shader. (A friend’s cat destroyed it. 😞 ) 

Crease: MUFE 234. I have 2 of these and use the other one to apply concealer in the hollows of my under eye bags. 

Crease and blending: 

• MAC 217 is my longtime favorite for this task. 
• Sigma E25 was a gift. It’s similar to the 217 but I won’t call it a dupe. It does work well, if you want to spend less money on a good brush. 

Brow bone highlight: MUFE 242 is a large blending brush and it’s not very good at its job. (Way too floppy.) Instead I use it as a mini powder brush to apply highlighter to my brow bone. Sure, I could use a crease/blending brush for this, but the 242 is good at diffusing highlighter in that area for a softer application. 

Precision work and liner smudging: 

• MAC 219 is good at smudging along the lower lash line. 
• MUFE 212 is smaller and better at precision work, like applying/smudging shadow in inner corners. 

Angled liner: 

• MAC 22 is my oldest makeup brush. Before eyebrow pencils existed, I always used this to do my brows. Now I use it to line the top of my eye when I’m not using a pencil or liquid liner.
• MAC 208 is small enough to precisely line the bottom of my eye. Sometimes I use the MUFE 212 for this task instead.

If you’re looking to make a real investment in brushes, I would recommend Wayne Goss brushes. You can find them on Beautylish. I have several of his eye brushes, but he recently redesigned his eye brush collection and I don’t have any of the new ones. 

However, he does tons of YouTube videos showing how to use the various brushes, so you can get a good idea which might be perfect choices for you. They’re quality brushes but not crazy priced. I own several face and blush brushes too. They’re definitely the ones I use daily

Too many to list but one brush I have bought over and over and I even have back ups to is MAC 239. It’s a great brush to pack eyeshadow onto the lid. Picks up the color and packs it on nicely. I’ve been buying it for years.

I don't have much to answer your question (my favorite brushes are all long discontinued lol), but I do have some other feedback regarding the board.

Please only post a topic once; even if you pick different groups, they all show up on the main feed. Multiple posts do nothing but bury other topics folks may be looking for; they don't give you a wider audience or better response rate.

Welcome to BIC and good luck on your eye brush hunt 😊

If you’re looking to add to your collection, I don’t have a specific brush but once I get home I can look which ones I use for eye brushes, but the ones I love love love are Morphe’s brushes. They blend your eyeshadow so well and are affordable. Hopefully I’ve helped you!
