blending control

[yummy411]

Lately, I've noticed that when i blend out my crease color, it doesn't look controlled or shaped perfectly round. i'm not trying to be too perfect, but i think it would help me to be satified with my application and overall look. when i apply, i use either my small dome crease brush and blend with it or my 217 i think it is. can anyone offer any suggestions? do i need a certain brush? TIA!

here's a pic to understand what i mean...

please nevermind my facial expression... this is one pic i had available now...

btw... HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

um...the 219 might help with the application part because it helps create the shape you want.

A stiffer, round crease brush will give you more definition, then you can use the 217 or other small domed brush to difuse any hard lines.

A 224 also works to blend out the crease well also, not quite as soft as the 217 but still a nice softer bristled brush.

these aren't mac brushes, but i use stila's #9 brush which is similar to the 224 but more tapered, which gives me more control. then i define the crease with a small dome crease brush. i use a drugstore one by essence of beauty. it's a really good brush despite the fact that it cost like $2 or something ridiculous.

I use a no name blending brush and when I'm done I use a q-tip to make the shape look better and blend that out with the same brush a bit more.

sonia kashuk has a couple blending brushes that are similiar to the 222 and 224.
