Typically used to create a smudge or smoky effect around your eyes. This eye brush has dense compact bristles (vegan) allowing for precise control, making it easy to achieve your look.

Gently blend the eyeshadow colours along your lash line and crease. Using small, back-and-forth motions, work the brush to create a seamless transition between the shades, resulting in a beautifully smudged and blended effect.

1. After you apply your contrasting eyeshadow colors to your lids, use your smudge brush to blend colors together in a back-and-forth motion.

2. To smoke out your look and soften eyeliners, dampen your brush and smudge along your lash lines and water lines with small strokes.

Even though your eye brushes don’t have the heavy-duty job of applying a full face of liquid foundation, they still require regular cleaning. It’s important to clean your eye brushes at least once a month to dissolve any lingering colour, wash away bacteria, help them last longer.

Here’s your step-by-step guide to cleaning your eye makeup brushes properly:

1. Rinse your brush head bristles under lukewarm running water to remove surface-level makeup and grime

2. Fill a bowl with lukewarm water and add brush cleaner, then swirl the head of each brush in the sudsy water

3. Rinse bristles under running water again until the water runs clear off the brush

4. Lay brushes flat to dry on a towel with the bristles hanging off a counter ledge
