All-in-one shadow brush or foiling brush?

[Shirin]

I would like to order a brush for eyeshadow application. Which one would you recommend? Which one's faster?

If you don't have a brush, then the Ultimate is probably the one to go for. It is faster if you're just doing a one-colour sweep, and you can use the other end of it for eyelining and crease colour or contouring.

But they're both nice.

I use all of them for different things. If I could only have a couple, I'd get the ultimate e/s brush (really two brushes in one), the wet/dry brush and the ultimate concealer brush. For most days, I use the concealer brush to do a fast all-over wash of something light, then the wet/dry for lid and crease. I find I have more control with the flatter wet/dry than the fuller e/s end of the ultimate e/s, but if I'm going heavier, that's the one to use. If I'm wearing liner, I use the liner end of the Ultimate E/S, both for creme and dry application. (I wipe it off with tissue if using creme so it doesn' get gummy.) Karen's brushes are all great quality at a very low price. Can't help but recommend you eventually get them all!!
