I used the MAC eyeshadow brushes I got for Christmas with a Twisted Fayte pigment, and I was really amazed at the difference the brush made.

I’ve been using Sonia Kashuk eyeshadow brushes, and the MAC brushes really brought out the pink irridescence in the shadow (sweetie), in a way that the other brushes didn’t do.

I used the 239 shading brush to apply sweetie shadow on the lid up to the browbone, then I used the 219 pencil brush to apply struck, a lavendar shade, in the crease.

I followed it with black powder shadow (cover girls professional eye enhancers in midnight jazz) used wet (with water) and applied with the 266 small angle brush. I like the way this brush applies eyeliner, but it is a bit heavy for every day wear.

Although I do have to admit that I love the way the 239 and 219 work with the pigments, I’ve tried them with powder shadows, and I haven’t been too impressed.
