What brushes do you use to blend?

I use elf right now, but I'm not sure what type I should look into. I don't want a very expensive one

That's why lol I personally don't like elf brushes.
blending is good for using elf brushes!
I recommend morphe brushes.
they are so similar to MAC and sigma brushes but cheaper.
they are like $6 a brush.
here's a video about them from one of my favorite youtubers lol

I agree that brushes make a difference, but honestly application matters a lot as well. Use a different brush when you're doing your blending, make sure it's clean. Use a domed brush that it not to dense, and move in windshield wiper motions first. LIGHT HANDEDLY. Clean the brush again in a rough surface (like a towel) and go back in use circular motions. Keep doing both until it's seamlessly blended. That's my technique and it works great for me, personally. Also, work slowly, don't apply so much shadow all at once because it may become muddy. Lastly, use transition colors! They make the world of difference as it causes a more gradient effect and also helps blend way better.

You look nice, though, I like yr brows more toned down. Is that foundation the liquid one?

It cosmetics blending brush from Ulta is great and it's 14$ I think adding a transition shade makes such a diffrence. Just pick up some shadow tap off the access and blend. Then I just build up the color anf well blend some more. I blend in circular motion and windshield wiper motions.

I think other then that your makeup looks good. Your brows look great! (:
