B is for Blending

When I am referring to blending I am of course talking about a technique that ladies use when applying make up, not what we do with some ingredients to make a cocktail...come to think of it, that would be nice!

I may whip up a batch of margaritas after this post!

Anyway back to blending. This is a very easy and not to mention necessary technique when it comes to make up. If proper blending is not done then above your eye just ends up looking like a big old mess!

Below are the brushes that you would use for blending:

• The first one is a dome smudger brush - Great to create smudgy lines and to get right into you crease

• The second is a eyeshadow brush - This is a basic brush used for applying eyeshadow. A MUCH better alternative to the little sponge applicator that usually come with you're eyeshadow.

• The third brush is a slanted bristle definer brush - This brush is used for lining the lash line, defining brows and generally defining eye make up. The uses for this brush are pretty endless

• The forth and last brush is a slight slanted bristle eye shadow brush - This is great for shading

I have done a few examples of some great blending below. Blending is basically about building colour and blending it in with your brushes.
I would advise using a little bit of colour at a time. This makes blending much easier as you don't have as much colour to work with and then you are able to gradually build it rather than just slapping a heap of colour on and trying to blend that.

I have also used some brighter colours to show you what you can get away with wearing if it has been applied and blended correctly.

I have been a busy bee! On Friday make sure to visit and check out my brown and bronze blended look!

Happy Hump Day Classy and Coy ones!
