Estée Lauder Eyeliner/Brow Brush

This brush may seem outrageously priced, especially as it's so slim, but when you use it every day like I do, it's absolutely worth it. I wear powder eyeliner every day and gel liner for special occasions and having this brush at my disposal makes application so quick and easy, even before work during the week. There is not much to say about the brush other than, if you love the look of eyeliner and have trouble applying it, RUN, don't walk, and get this brush. If you need some help in how to use it, this is what I do. For my daily liner I use Bobbi Brown Espresso (discontinued I think) but any dark brown, navy or even black shadow will do. You can dampen the brush, but I don't bother. Stroke the brush over the shadow and then hold up a compact mirror. Using a mirror you can angle downwards, from forehead height is the key, don't try and use the bathroom mirror. Hold the mirror up and angle your head back so you are looking into it with your eyes closed a little. Then bring the brush down onto your lash line from above, you should have a clear view of the bristles coming into contact with your lash line. I push the bristles into the outer corner to 'stamp' a mark and then do the same all along until the whole lash line is darkened. You can flip the brush so the pointed end is facing the inner corner as you work your way along. Then you can smooth the whole line and when you look straight into the mirror (or the bathroom mirror) you have the chance to easily smooth over any rough bits (although this usually is not a problem for me). When you do the next eye, just angle the mirror differently so you can see the lash line. This works with gel eyeliner too and is far less messy, especially if you mark out you line by stamping across first, and then smooth the top. If you want to do a wing, you can do this last while looking straight ahead into the mirror.  Truly this brush has made eyeliner application a no brainer for me and I hope this technique works for you too.
