Which makeup brush is the best for both applying liner and shadow?

I know people usually revere their MAC brushes, but which one can I use to line and apply shadow and blend? Also, has anyone used any of the Lise Watier brushes? Their handles are shorter, and that makes them more portable. How about the Shiseido brushes? Are there any other brands that any of you would recommend? Keep in mind, I'm looking for a single brush that does it all--apply liner and shadow and blending.Which makeup brush is the best for both applying liner and shadow?
My favourite brushes are relatively inexpensive (around $10-$20 per brush) and they are simply amazing. They are by Quo (a shoppers drug mart brand), and are available (obviously) from Shoppers. I actually have a full set of Mac brushes, and completely prefer these above them.





I would highly recommend going to go check them out at least, and right now all brushes are 20% off at Shoppers.

Oh, and also, as was iterated previously, if you want your make-up to look good, then you will need to buy more than one brush. At least you could get away with 2 or 3 brushes, for my eyes alone I use 7 brushes. (and no, I don't take 2 hours to do my make-up, I take 5 minutes)Which makeup brush is the best for both applying liner and shadow?
Sonia Kashuk has some very soft and travel sized brushes that are very cute :)





make sure it's most comfortable for you though.





I think a medium normal round brush.
theres no point wasting your money on expensive makeup brushes. as long as they are soft any brand will do. u can just get them at drug stores, make sure they are soft. i use expensive makeup, but i use cheap makeup tools
Hi Jessica, I hate to disappoint you, but I do not think that you can use the same brush for lining and shadow. You do not need to purchase expensive brushes, but make sure that the bristles are secure and not coming loose. These can be purchased at your drug store counter. Use shampoo to wash them on a regular basis and they will give you long service.





I use a very tiny brush, maybe 1/4 inch bristles, for lining and a bigger shaped one for shadow. I find for me, that the short handled ones are harder to use. The ones that come with your shadow are usually no good.





I have years of experience with trying out different products and much has been trial and error. :) Hope this is helpful.
Don't spend too much money on a brush but don't buy one that is bad quality and too cheap. I suggest brushes from The Body Shop because they are very soft and work really well. For eyeliner you want a soft semi flexible brush. I have this one and it works really well:

This brush is especially good for doing a smoky eye.





For eyeshadow the brush does not have to be of as good quality. The difference is that sometimes the lesser quality brushes can be more difficult to use or can create uneven application. Softer and looser brushes are better because they don't concentrate the color as much but give a light and natural feel. A good everyday eyeshadow brush would be:

The only way to have a single brush to do both is to get a double ended brush. Stila has several brushes that may fit the bill.





I use three different brushes - one to apply, press on shadow/pigment, two to blend in colors/crease/highlighter, and a tiny brush to line wet w/eyeshadow, or smudge a line I've already applied.
drug stores lk CVS have good ones i love mine they r by lk all the hair brushes i think. The angle brush is wut i use to put on liner they sell a set that you can buy for lk 4 bucks that willl have one for liner and one for shadow! =]
