A MAC 217 and MAC 239 will be your best friend. Both of these brushes effortless pick up color and help blend it beautifully onto the eye lid. The 217 will be help give you all over flush of color and blend at the same time. Whereas the 239 will pack color on for a more intense look. Both are AMAZING. Everyone needs one of these or something like these in their toolkit arsenal of makeup brushes. NOTE: Fingers work just as well for a blended in application. Particularly with a cream base or creme stick. Apply and blend with the fingers. Your natural warmth will help blend color in perfectly and seamlessly. Just be careful ….
