Angled eye shadow brushes are favored by many makeup artists, because they help achieve depth, definition and precision in the crease of the eye.

These tools are particularly good for blending colour in the crease area. When looking for an angled eye shadow brush, I find that natural-hair bristles work best as synthetic hair can be too scratchy and hard.

To use, gently dip your bush into the colour and tap off any excess. Then, in a windshield-wiping motion, blend back and forth. The brush is designed to help guide you into just the right crease area of your eye.
