I used to use sponges until a friend gave me a brush. I liked how it didn't take me as long to put my makeup on. Now all I use are brushes and have spares just in case.

I recently tried a few more eye brushes, they are all great!!

1) Smashbox Travel Crease

2) Smashbox Travel Smudger

3) Smashbox Shadow Liner

4) Eco Tools by Alicia Silverstone Eye Shadow

You should use whatever you feel more comfortable with! But I love using brushes. Low quality brushes will result in a lot of fallout, but there are plenty of cheap decent brushes that allow you to pat or swipe on your products. I love Tarte's shadow brush (more expensive), ELF regular/professional line shadow brush, ELF studio line contour/crease brush (super inexpensive).

Ill test it out... but i need more suggestions for brushes guys! :)
