Alright my gorgeous friends.
Yesterday I shared an AMAZING tutorial by Jaclyn Hill that is filled with EVERYTHING you need to know about makeup brushes and told you that I (finally) took the plunge and treated myself to the Sigma Premium Brush Kit as well as the Sigma F80 Flat Kabuki Foundation Brush, which is the first set of professional makeup brushes I have EVER owned.
I am so excited!
But right after I placed my order, I realized that I have no clue how to blend eyeshadow properly, and since I wanted to be able to try my new brushes out THE MOMENT they arrived in my mailbox, I decided to do some research.
Now, I tried a lot of these techniques out with my drugstore brushes before my professional set arrived, and while they worked really well, I am absolutely amazed at how much better they work with a proper set of brushes.
Take a look at the tutorials below and let me know which techniques are your favorite.
Good luck!
