1) The Mac 242 is a shader brush, it has firm fibres shaped to form a rounded edge. It's great for applying concealer and packing on eyeshadow. I use it to apply my eyeshadow as it packs on an intense layer of colour without any fallout as it's flat. I use one side for one colour, and the other side for another colour. I use the tip of the brush to apply colour to the inner corners, and line my upper and lower lash line.
Price: £17
2) The Jemma Kidd "Deepen" brush is great for getting into the eye socket and applying colour into to the crease. It's made from natural hair, quite small yet firm with a slight tapered tip. It's therefore great for precise application and also fluffy enough to blend. (This particular brush is no longer available as I purchased it as part of a set last year. But, her double ended eye define brush includes it. Price: £14.99
3) The Smashbox #10 crease brush is a large fluffy flimsy blending brush. It's made from squirrel sub and is incredibly soft. I use it to blend blend blend. It completes the look with no visible harsh lines.
Price: $28 (I purchased mine as part of a set from QVC last year.)

I really recommend you check out the shapes of the brushes, every brand has their own range with great dupes. I have SO many eye brushes that I use on rotation but, I just happen to favour these from my collection. If you have 3 brushes similar to these, you should be able to apply eyeshadow to a professional standard once you get the hang of blending.
Happy blending! :)

I love Smashbox brushes! They're so wonderful, my favorite is their smudger duo-sided brush. But for $30 it can get quite expensive. Great post!
The least amount of brushes the better. Always love your eye looks!
I LOVE the Smashbox #10 brush. . . Its alot like the MAC 224. . . I like to use one for eyeshadow blending and the other for concealer. . . Fluffy brushes are great for natural looking concealer application!!! Wish I could get my hands on some Jemma Kidd brushs!!!

Great suggestions! I need to find a good blending brush.
Sometimes I think it's crazy when I see people with giant collections of brushes because many of them are just dupes of each other, LOL.
I'm perfectly fine with my less than 10 eye brushes =D
