Hey Hanna T., welcome to Beautylish! What I found, and I have a feeling you will to is, that early on in our career, or your love of the art of make up, is that I went out and bought every size, shape, and color of brushes. Spent a lot of money on brushes. But there are only maybe 6 or 8 that are my very favorite and will only use those that work for me. So that being said, give yourself some time to get to know them and how they perform. Now, blending, in your brushes find the oval shaped, and pretty soft brush, it might be called a "crease" brush. Kind of long soft bristles shaped oval. Thats really all you will need as far as a blender for your eyes. If you use the standard 3 shades for your eyes, you would take either the lightest or the medium color, load your brush, tap tap tap, to prevent fallout, then place your shadow beginning at the outer eye, and get in there and work that color together in circles, working towards the inner and upper eye. Work it all the way almost to the brow and keep working it till you are happy with it. Don't be afraid to get in there and work it together. It doesn't look to me like you need much help! Your pretty gorgeous!!

Personally best tip I've ever discovered is using a matte warm brown (I use bronzer) above the crease and just before the brow.. And also using a light hand the higher you get.. Saves on loads of time x
