What's the difference between a crease shadow brush and blending brush? Are they the same brush but with different names, because they look basically the same.

Blending brushes are usually fluffier and have longer bristles. Crease brushes are usually shorter with densely packed bristles.

I think crease brushes are more dense/stiff which helps get into the crease better rather than a blending brush. A blending brush is a little more fluffy which helps blending better!

Thanks! Which one is better? Or which could be used more often?

I think you need both. But if I HAD to choose, I would choose the blending brush.

Any brand recommendations for crease and blending brushes?

The Mac 217 and Mac 224 are two classic shapes. There are tons of similar brushes out there at every price point. You can search for "dupes" of those two brush shapes or just get the originals which are both still available.
