    Quick budget shoutouts to:
    Morphe M456 and M433 for natural
    Morphe M506, elf “Blending Brush”, and Trixie H18 for synthetics.
    Will add Morphe M167 as an excellent smaller sweeper/packer - smaller eyes and heavy hoods can make use of pack-and-sweep techniques from outer corners to give dimension when you have little-to-no crease.

    Yes!! Listen, smaller, more precise brushes are a game-changer if you have hooded eyes or just not a lot of space, so I appreciate this video a lot. I got the tiniest fluffy blender I’ve ever seen, the sigma E36, in the mail yesterday, and I am absolutely delighted at how itty bitty this thing is 😆 Very excited to put it to use. It’s literally like a 1.5cm long blending brush that is small/narrow enough for my bottom lid.

    Might think I'm crazy but I'm a painter and I actually use a few paint brushes! These aren't cheep brushes they are nice and I swear they work far better than any makeup brushes I've ever used! If anyone wants to know I'll put the ones I use in the comments. These brushes I use for makeup I've never used them with paint I bought extra ones to use for makeup. One day I left my brushes at my sisters and had to use something had these new paint brushes and was amazed!

    I never was one for make-up until quarantine. Not that I had anything against it, I just never picked it up. On Pinterest I came across very colorful eyeshadows and such and started to experiment. It was a lot of fun. After a while I discovered your videos and they made me able to actually understand technique and why to do certain things or not (I hope that part makes sense lol). Anyways, I wanted to thank you for giving me so much insight in a new hobby I gained, because it gave me more knowledge about it, but also more confidence to experiment. It really broadened my view of possibilities. Also thank you for being so all-inclusive as possible, it is something that is still too rare on the internet, but so important!

    Tiny brushes changed the way I apply makeup. I've also come to realize the quality of the brush plays a lot into it also, at least for me. I use Rephr, Sonia G, Chikuhudo the most, especially if I'm using Pat McGrath and a few other formulas. Sigma is also great, BK Beauty is great. I really like Blend Bunny brushes, most of hers are great for small and/or hooded eyes. I threw out all my value set brushes, they just aren't the same once you start using higher quality brushes. At least in my experience.

    Would 100% agree smaller brushes for hooded eyes are so much better. I have very hooded eyes and it’s these type of brushes that give me the looks I’m going for. They also they are very versatile for other parts of your face. I would say that there is no one brand that will give you everything, so REFR, Sigma and even the smaller Morphe brushes (when you are on a budget) are great choices.

    Thank u sooo much for this detailed video!!! I have mature, hooded eyes (due to fold) with minimal lid space. You covered it perfectly ! Ive had to bounce around so many channels but none have been as thorough as yours. I've already purchased the ones you suggested !
    Could u do a video on face brushes?
    Bless you hon ❤😊

    I JUST got a tiny brush a few days ago from target and don’t know what to do with it. This is perfect timing!
