BTW... I used my two new brushes from Coastal Scents for this look (Tapered Crease Eye Brush & the Sable Blending Brush) and I have to say that I actually like these two brushes alot! :P
The Tapered Crease Eye Brush is GREAT for blending out harsh lines, it's stiff enough to blur out the harsh lines but not too stiff to the point where it'll brush away all of the eyeshadow. This brush is better at MAJOR blending.
The Sable Blending Brush is great to use when you want to add a tiny bit more color and blend it into another color at the same time (i.e. taking your highlight color on this brush and blending it into your crease color without OVER blending it or having the highlight color be over applied.) Basically this brush is good to use when you want to add a tiny bit of color just to help blend out a tiny bit more, so this brush is better for MINOR blending. :P
These two brushes are actually really good! :P If I had to recommend ONE of them, it'd be the Tapered Crease Eye Brush but I really think you should get both because I use both of them differently. :P Plus they're dirt cheap, but they work pretty good! I was pleasantly surprised by these two brushes because I'm not usually a fan of Coastal Scents brushes but these two brushes are definitely keepers. :D
So that's all, I'm on a mini getaway with my bf this weekend. :) He just turned 26, what an old fart. haha. I KID! :P Anyways, I'm out... time to go play some WoW. Haha. :D
