Best Eyeshadow Blending Brush

10 replies

Help! My trusty MAC 224 has finally broken.

I am looking for an eyeshadow blending brush. Will spend a bit if it's good. So one that you can use for the crease really. If it's synthetic that's even better as I'm not to sure about using natural ones these days. Any suggestions?

Haha! I had one of those but it wasn't as pointed at the top. Do we think MAC is unbeatable then? I'll just get another one! I see they do a synthetic one now.

I've been buying MAC since the early 2000s, they did switch their brushes to synthetic but the quality is not what it used to be. They are treating it like a mature brand and basically milking it.

My favourite eye brushes are my Wayne Goss brushes. They're available at Beautylish. Absolutely wonderful quality and a far more reasonable price tag for it than anything you'll find on the high street.

I'd just get the 217 tbh.

Though I'm very partial to the 275 which is slanted and gives a big swoosh very easily.

Do you find the natural ones work a lot better than the synthetic ones?

I do to be honest, I prefer them but it really depends how into makeup you are
I'm a bit of a fanatic Blush and I like nice brushes

Thanks good to know there is a difference. I'm similar and am wondering if there's only so good a synthetic brush can get.
