The tiny eye brushes everyone needs

[@lindseybotelho]

Tiny eye brushes are life-changing! Especially for hooded eyes!

[@AlexandraAnele]

Legit! 🙌🏼

[@KateTolhurst]

I use a tiny nail brush and it's made all the difference!

[@TheGtagtr]

@@AlexandraAnele Hi Alexandra, my name's Aaron and I live in WA state, just was seeing if you would be free to meet and hang out sometime..

[@ireallylovecilantro]

We need all the hooded eye love and tools. 😭

[@Whosyouraunty]

​@@TheGtagtr I wonder that all the time. But it seems weird to ask so I don't. Plus I'm not a guy.

[@pearlspear2922]

would love to see a video of these in action, maybe comparing doing the same technique on each eye but with different brushes? i think that would be super helpful!

[@jobertbarin9736]

Quick budget shoutouts to: Morphe M456 and M433 for natural Morphe M506, elf “Blending Brush”, and Trixie H18 for synthetics. Will add Morphe M167 as an excellent smaller sweeper/packer - smaller eyes and heavy hoods can make use of pack-and-sweep techniques from outer corners to give dimension when you have little-to-no crease.

[@lenaboyer6981]

Yes!! Listen, smaller, more precise brushes are a game-changer if you have hooded eyes or just not a lot of space, so I appreciate this video a lot. I got the tiniest fluffy blender I’ve ever seen, the sigma E36, in the mail yesterday, and I am absolutely delighted at how itty bitty this thing is 😆 Very excited to put it to use. It’s literally like a 1.5cm long blending brush that is small/narrow enough for my bottom lid.

[@lottamartin9270]

I would love a more affordable version of these if you can think of any 😘 tsm you're da best!

[@bluemoon455]

Stilazzi has tiny fluff brushes, a small shader, and a precision crease blender for about half the price. It's not exactly the same but the brushes are def very small

[@s_shaddows.4939]

Might think I'm crazy but I'm a painter and I actually use a few paint brushes! These aren't cheep brushes they are nice and I swear they work far better than any makeup brushes I've ever used! If anyone wants to know I'll put the ones I use in the comments. These brushes I use for makeup I've never used them with paint I bought extra ones to use for makeup. One day I left my brushes at my sisters and had to use something had these new paint brushes and was amazed!

[@LeOhio817]

I’ve purchased art brushes from Michaels that work just as well or better than some of my dedicated makeup brushes.

[@GDMCRC]

Pls, yeah! I'd love to know what brushes these are!❤

[@s_shaddows.4939]

@@GDMCRC I got you let me make double sure going online and looking at mine so I know I'm giving you the correct name. I can even post copy the link if you want!

[@s_shaddows.4939]

@@GDMCRC also where tbey aren't meant to pick up paint they pick up and distribute liquid and cream products better than any makeup brush I've ever used!

[@GDMCRC]

@@s_shaddows.4939 Awesome! Thank you!!🥰😍

[@case1962]

Tiny brushes rock -- this round-up was great -- that BK Beauty brush is now on my list. Another must have tiny brush is the *Smith SMALL Arrowhead* brush. That brush is phenomenal -- lays down, blends, precision in the crease, lower lashline, soft eyelining.

[@anacodreanu7979]

noted, noted, noted! GIRL, YOU MUST tell us what magic combination of skills and product you applied on your lips, i tried to recreate it with something that i have and i thought its similar and even if it didnt turned out as yours exactly, its still looks amazing. YOU are amazing. Thank you❤️

[@akellerhouse83]

I use all these brushes in the exact way you described! It makes me feel good, like I'm doing it right.

[@canvea]

Love this kind of specialized video! Maybe you could make several in different categories, like "favorite contour/highlighter /bronzer /blushes". It would be neat to have it all in one place.

[@katiesheneman7701]

Can you do a full rundown of like.... ALL brushes?? This was SO helpful. I NEVER do eye make up because I simply don't understand how to apply it for my eyes. This was great! Brushes and why they're shaped the way they are has confounded me... and I'm 45, these are things I should know lol

[@devetakhii]

That is so eye-opening, pun intended! I have never paid attention to the size of the brush too much, for me "blending brush" == Mac217 (it was a hit when I bought it, how is it now OLD-fashioned, I cannot 😂). Thank you Alex 😘

[@maryeveylon]

so… i just watched this for the 2nd time and feel like i need to share one more thing. i feel like you’re speaking directly to me. i have been _going through it!_ with my make up in the last 6 months. so much frustration and so many tears. thank you alex, for everything that you do. you’re helping me more than it’s possible to explain in a comment.

[@Shadesof]

Surprised nobody asked you about your gorgeous earrings 😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥 where did you get them ?🙏 and also your lips 👄 and lipstick 💄 so beautiful. What color and brand is that?

[@Shadesof]

Just found your video with the earrings🙏 now just need the lipstick 💄 😅

[@iluvdinonuggies]

Came for the tiny brushes commenting for those earrings, listen lady how dare you wear such beauties and not drop that link 😂

[@eligefashion]

Tiny brushes are the best thing ever ❤

[@blackcherry07]

thank you . If I tried to blend with regular size brushes I would have eyeshadow up to my forehead

[@jessicuhwilde2921]

I'm sure you have mentioned it in another video, but what lip products are you using? I love it!

[@clairefrancesesthetics]

Thank you so much for this. My eyes are extremely hooded and my brushes are always too big. My eyeshadow easily gets too blown out and I can never get into the corners of my eyes with enough detail and I always have to clean it up. This is so helpful.

[@lauraandre6124]

I never was one for make-up until quarantine. Not that I had anything against it, I just never picked it up. On Pinterest I came across very colorful eyeshadows and such and started to experiment. It was a lot of fun. After a while I discovered your videos and they made me able to actually understand technique and why to do certain things or not (I hope that part makes sense lol). Anyways, I wanted to thank you for giving me so much insight in a new hobby I gained, because it gave me more knowledge about it, but also more confidence to experiment. It really broadened my view of possibilities. Also thank you for being so all-inclusive as possible, it is something that is still too rare on the internet, but so important!

[@gatosigiloso]

As someone who really has a hard time self-promoting, congratulations on pushing yourself to ask people to like,subscribe, and so on. Also, this was very helpful, especially when you also comment on the brush hair in detail, like the density, stiffness... I'll come back to this for some purchases!

[@katielagreca3628]

This is so great. Its really helpful to get a breakdown of how one might use different sizes and shapes. AND what might be missing from my brush collection. Thank you!!! Love your videos x

[@LauraLVTGW]

Ummm..... Waiting to buy brushes..... 😉😉😉😉 I have a funny feeling a set is going to come out soon, that I'm going to want to get!😊😊😊

[@robyngarver7869]

Thanks for the tips on using smaller brushes! Also, what lip combo are you wearing? It is absolutely beautiful 💋

[@Lynnonymous]

Tiny brushes changed the way I apply makeup. I've also come to realize the quality of the brush plays a lot into it also, at least for me. I use Rephr, Sonia G, Chikuhudo the most, especially if I'm using Pat McGrath and a few other formulas. Sigma is also great, BK Beauty is great. I really like Blend Bunny brushes, most of hers are great for small and/or hooded eyes. I threw out all my value set brushes, they just aren't the same once you start using higher quality brushes. At least in my experience.

[@oliviawitte3621]

I love the way you speak about makeup and makeup tools. I can definitley tell that youre a painter. I'm a painter as well and it really helps that you can explain makeup techniques and tools in the way that someone might approach a painting or a sculpture.

[@Aemirys]

I know this was an eyes video but I couldn't stop staring at your lips! They are gorgeous! Do you have a video on your lips?

[@KarenMelchior]

Could you stick the titles in between the shop links and the names of the brushes? Blending brushes ..... ...... Detail blending brushes ..... ..... Lid, lash line, crease, and more .... You didn’t know you needed them until now ... For my hooded eye peeps ... The most detailed of details ....

[@ValiantVicuna]

😅Guilty of using 1 brush for everything....but I use at least 3 fingers during my eye makeup application....that counts, right? 😂Probably why I'm so obsessed with DMB's palettes. they literally have the words "Press and Play" stamped on them and I feel seen every time I read it 😋

[@carolynsager6069]

Hello Alexandria, I was watching but I did not see anything from you on a little push brush from you for eyeliner? I have hooded small eyes. I am 58. For being older I have full lips which is nice but I have not taken lots care of them until now. You have beautiful lips. What videos would be best for me to watch to make my lips look very nice? Thank you....Carolyn

[@alfagetti2]

Fantastic tutorial, extremely helpful. Thank you for sharing! Also...can I ask where those lovely heart shaped earrings are from?

[@PhtCat]

I love these explanatory videos. I really need them. I never noticed that the brushes' size matters so much, although I watch so many makeup tutorials! Thanks for upping my make up game!

[@Kera.S.]

So excited for this video! …. Could you just make your own brushes and let us put together the set that works best for our eye size and shape,PLEASE!

[@alicepirola7077]

Something tells me she has???

[@SuperHellolaura]

Your makeup looks absolutely stunning, so beautiful-What blush &/or highlighter did you use, please?

[@Oliveandme]

Cillian Murphy ❤

[@melindamercier6811]

My trouble is, I have deep Cillian Murphy eye sockets (that was hilarious btw) AND also very hooded eyes. But brush size definitely matters, and the small crease brushes are my jam.😂

[@aliciadrum2347]

Would love to see you actually use all of these......especially the smallest of them. Also, off topic......Would you consider doing a segment on a trip to the salon? Would love to see your cut and color from start to finish. Your cut and color are awesome! I did see the previous one which was your first time going this short. This was great, but didn't show the cut in detail. You have definitely found your cut and color for a lifetime.....that is hard to do. It totally defines your face. Thanks for all your videos....watch them all!

[@sarahroot3650]

I have an old MAC 217 brush that I bought right before they switched over to all synthetic and now I like cherish it like a weirdo

[@thrivesurvive]

I have Cillian Murphy eyes. Eyeshadow can be complicated for me.

[@doriebishop8971]

I need to start collecting small brushes, I have Almond shaped hooded eyes, and it's so hard to connect eyeliner. Ugh lol I just wing it and go smokey.

[@xanthefurley5164]

Thank you so much, Alex. I have been following you from the UK for almost a year now and this video has compelled me to thank you. I love to find out the best tools as I have found they change your makeup life and I have hooded eyes. Being 40, I am having to learn new techniques to get around loose skin. Loving your work 😘

[@auntie525]

What lipstick are you wearing?

[@MicheleNixon]

You should bring on friends with different eye sizes/hooded v not-hooded/eye colors. and do the "same" eye makeup look. And what you would do to one eye versus another eye. Same makeup look across different features. Is this making any sense? lol

[@J-ZIM]

Shoot! Thought you were going to show tiny brushes you could buy as a set. Nobody wants to buy brushes from several different websites. But thanks for the info

[@kellywolfe5930]

I really do need some small brushes. I have hooded eyes and it is so challenging for me especially when you're trying to find something affordable 💙💛❤💚💜

[@CFirst1]

Love tiny brushes! Thank you!

[@ohitscarmen]

A demo of blending variations would be awesome! Thank you for this video! Good foundation to understanding blending tools !

[@CrayonConoisseur]

Thank you for this! I have small eyes and I don't wanna buy a brush set. I made the mistake with the real techniques essential eye set and most of the brushes were too big lmao. Love your content 😘

[@miss.mercurial]

YES I LOVE PENCIL BRUSHES I literally bought three different brushes trying to replicate one I loved that had started peeling on the handle. Whenever I see a good pencil brush, I buy it. The Morphe V203 is my current favorite.

[@tammieroth9175]

Thanks for this video. I really love your channel and you 💛

[@momobea2378]

Thank you for demonstrating how you use different brushes without also applying product. I’m only six minutes into the video and am struck how I can see what I’ve been doing wrong. You are so talented.

[@SUPERRITA0830]

Hi Alex! New subscriber here. Love your content! Wondering if you could do a tutorial for people wearing prescription glass? My eyes are a little bulging and also I look too harsh when having eyeliners or mascara on . Not sure how to address this issue 😭

[@SUPERRITA0830]

Just saw you actually made a video 5 months ago! I'll watch that one first and practice and let you know if it works for me ☺️

[@partypooper6837]

Where can I find light pink matte eyeshadow? Do they exist?

[@RaelNikolaidis]

I’m really hoping that you are going to come out with your own line of brushes. It’s a natural fit for you. I trust you enough to buy them, should you ever do that, and I’m not a person who trusts easily.❤❤❤

[@marshmallowpies4129]

Thank youuuuu! Can you tell us how you wash your brushes after powders and liquid types of make up?

[@ToriHalfon]

So helpful!! Thank you!

[@PunkyNerd]

I have hooded and sleepy, downturned (almond shaped) eyes. That was a mouthful. And... I'm an old millennial. Yay. I love your content, because you seem to get it (even though I think your eyes are gorgeous and a lot more youthful than mine). You always have some pretty legit advice for makeup. So thanks for that! Also, does anyone struggle putting mascara on with my eye shape, or similar eye shape? Moving my droopy lid aside and trying not to get that mascara on my lower lid when simply looking down or closing my eyes is a pain. My lashes are also looking like snuffaluffagus. They just go straight down. Almost always need to curl my lashes just so they get out of the way. *edit* Oh! Also, would be awesome to see a list of budget friendly brushes?

[@christinechin4761]

Thank you for the brush tips! I got your brush suggestions and they are a game changer!!!

[@chronicbeautychrissie]

Great explanations. Do you remember one of your first videos was an eyeshadow brush video with only 3 brushes to do your whole look? That was also a great video on keeping it simple in the ever growing world of brushes. I love brushes and i buy way too many of them....but they are so much fun!

[@neuro-mm8in]

Thank you! I had been feeling like I needed smaller brushes and I am excited to try a few of these
