It honestly just depends on what I'm going for. I typically use a pencil brush to place the color and a small brush to blend it out. Sometimes I'll use a fluffy shader to bring it above the color placement and diffuse it.Ingenue, which brush do you use to blend it into the crease? I've been experimenting with different ones, as well as my finger, but my finger is bigger than my eyeand not the best tool for me for these shadows....curious what you and Kate use?
But none of that is set in stone. It just depends on what I'm going for. I never remember the names or numbers of brushes. I just go by the shape of the brush head.

C!.. not Ingenue but I agree with the pencil brush .. for MAC it's a 219 but there are many other's.. LM has a nice pencil brush which is duo fibre and it's called a Crease brush, and much less expensive than other lines.
I find it really convenient and am buying a few more for my personal brushes.

Armani (in Vegas) was out of the Pink Powder... so I'm going to try the local spots. It's in stock online too. I am SO GLAD that the pencils are becoming permanent. It was UNACCEPTABLE that I missed out on getting a Black one! I have the green and the brown.

[quote name="Ingenue" url="/forum/thread/175036/armani-discussion/30#post_2130463"] I just ordered the other two bronzers (#1 and #5) and a loose powder. I also found out that the waterproof eyeliners (that went like crazy when they came out for Spring 2011) are going to be permanent! Whoo hoo! So is the Pink loose powder (Spring 2011).
[/quote] Thanks for letting us know, I wanted to give them a try after HG was raving about them. OT, but the black waterproof pencil from YSL looks pretty good, too. Very soft.

[quote name="Ingenue" url="/forum/thread/175036/armani-discussion/30#post_2130720"] The only thing that bugs me about the YSL pencil is that when it comes off, it does so in 'chunks.' It doesn't smudge like a regular pencil. Once, I got a chunk stuck on my eyeball. Not good.

I'm finding that the Armani and the INGLOT eyeliner pencils I have are my favorites -
I'm back!!!
^^Aww, thank you!! I thought she was cute. I bought a really pretty skull pendant by Barbara Bixby over the winter - it has pink tourmalines in it and it's very ornate, but not gharish, and I LOVE it! Since then I've had a thing for skulls, but I'm particular about them - I thought she was cute with her bow!
Somewhere along the line I missed the Rouge d'Armani 'Hot' collection of pinks/corals/reds - I was just on the Armani site looking for the ETK Palette that's supposed to be re-released this summer, and there were the new lipsticks. Yes, I am slow. Ingenue, I saw your blog post about 520.....holy cow, that is
-worthy.......so the other colors didn't do it for you, eh? It's so hard to tell from the online color 'swatch' (not a swatch, just a moronic representation of it). I wish I could see these in-person before I order, but guess I'll have to take my chances. I'm going to see what the Armani site shipping is like before I decide......

520 is FABULOUS! It's such a distinct 'power pink' without being fuchsia... LOVE IT! The other colors weren't flattering on me... and they looked like something I've seen before. 520 is really distinct, it's in a class all by itself.

^ agree with Ingenue.. some of the Armani colours are spectacular... I have been wearing the 506 during a good portion of my trip.
if you want a great winter ls the 600 line is gorgeous too. I should look at the 520 but but.. I have way too many ls.. I need another mouth at the back of my head.. lol.
