Typical discussions about the “perfect” eye shadow brush normally involve the same slew of criteria: How soft is it? How densely packed are the bristles? Very rarely does anyone ask how small the brush is. If you are new to eye shadow application or have small eyes, little eyelid space or hooded eyes—anything that makes eye shadow application challenging—a smaller brush will serve you well. Why? A small brush makes for precise application, so you can reach every area of your eye with ease. And if you’re having a problem defining your crease, it will allow you to deposit the darker shade only where you want it.The densely-packed brush by Studio Tools (a Target brand) also makes it easy to “pack on” the color to create vibrancy. Of course, the Studio Tools Smudge brush can also be used for smudging eyeshadow or eyeliner to a smoky effect. And the price is just under $2, nowhere near the typical range for brushes. This brush is not soft, nor is it meant to be; denser, precision brushes are supposed to be stiff so that you can move your eyeshadow around and control the application whereas fluffy brushes
deposit a sheer amount of pigment to larger areas. The Studio Tools Smudge brush has been an integral part in my learning to create complicated, multi-toned looks and I hope it helps you as much as it has me!

hello! yeah the mehron palettes stain at first but when you wash your face with soap and water (I use the oil cleansing method), it came off nicely, but there are certain colors (such as the darker colors) that perhaps take a little longer to remove. I panicked a bit when I was taking off the mask because it was still on there but using oil to clean my face helped get it off a lot quicker.
I had comfort knowing that it was really made for face painting so they just HAVE to come off, and luckily it did!
Hi! Yeah the classic nude was as is no base or lip erase, just the lippie itself, it's not too pigmented, but I think my lips were a bit pale that day I swatched it! LOL but it's a nice light peachy coral color.
But where do I buy the miracle-brush? D:!
This is so cheap, I want 5 of them. You can NEVER have too many eyeshadow brushes. If I got one for each colour of eyeshadow I have, I'd need over 100! But I wouldn't have to clean them so much... =[
Anastasia,
The brush is available at Target. I'm not sure whether or not you have those in the U.K. and, unfortunately, the brushes cannot be purchased online =(.
=[ *Sad face*
We do not have a target, alas. V___V My hopes are dashed!
Sorry, dear =/. But, you have Tesco!
I came across your blog through another blog and love what your blog is about..
Hm....I might have to check out these brushes.
