My forays into the world of eye makeup.

I don’t have pixie epoxy BUT I do want to get it. I just have to find the online retailer

And my experience with super cheap brushes hasn’t been that good =/ I’m not an expert either but I do want brushes with some control and stiffness, and I’ve found cheap brushes don’t do much. What you can do is either get good quality paint brushes (they go anywhere from 4 bucks to 10), or get Body Shop’s. I watched this video and tried to find the same brand of brushes but I couldn’t find those at my local Micheal’s, but I still got a couple of angle brushes and my version of a liner brush and they’re pretty servicible

Where are you khumi? I found them online…their shadows seem nice too actually. I just don’t like their website…seems a bit weird to me.

Also, the paint brush idea is one I’ve heard before…I have some at home so maybe I will play with those tomorrow.

I’ve cut and chiseled some cheap brushes before, I turned a powder brush into a contour brush and an eyeshadow brush into an angled one etc. The second question in a bit difficult to answer. I’ll tell you that better quality brushes are famous for a reason. I recently got the MAC 224 and I was surprised at how seamless the eyeshadow application is with it…it makes the crease eyeshadow look like a perfect gradient without much effort. So for someone whose new at makeup, getting a good brush will help a lot…BUT if this is something you plan to do professionally, try making yourself used to lower quality brushes as well so you’re not doomed without them! The magic is in the magician, not the wand (lol cheesy I know)

You are right. I need to start low and work my way up.
