Any blending tips I could use, I've been having some trouble getting it blended how I like it..?

* Try using a different brush to blend, so it doesn't get muddy from your other shadows
* use a fluffy brush that isn't dense
* blend in wind shield wiper motions, clean the brush on a rough service (like a towel), and go back in and blend in circular motions

* personally, I like to apply my deeper colors of the look FIRST as a guideline and so it won't get muddy with my lid colors or whatever. Then go back and deepens it later.
* I like to apply a transition shade before so it has a smoother gradient, blended look (ie: light brown first then a slightly deeper brown, then the darkest color)

Renay nailed it. I think the most important thing is to invest in a few good brushes. They make a HUGE difference when blending

Renay covered it haha :) You don't need a huge collection of brushes, but the ones Renay suggested would be perfect. xx

Good advice, Renay. I always do my crease first- I find it easier to blend my lid color into the crease- especially when I'm doing a shimmer on the lid. It's hard to blend a matte into a shimmer. I do the crease, transition, lid- then I use a clean brush in a windshield super motion to blend out any visible lines. Sometimes I add a little to the outer V and then blend again with a clean brush.
