The Lipstick League – week of 1.9.12

Question of the Week: What’s your go-to eyeshadow brush?

EauMG’s Answer: I’m not much of an eye makeup person. I keep it neutral most days and wear eye liner on the top lashes. I love Sonia Kashuk shadow brushes. The Eye Shadow Brush set is great. It contains a fluffy brush and a blending brush.
