BK Beauty$24- “I'm going to use the BK Beauty A506 brush. Again, we've got that angle. It basically is a super mini version of the 101 brush. And it's just great. It fits perfectly underneath the eye”▶ 17:38

- “This one looks a little bit more powdery, if you will. It's like I can't seem to work it in where it really turns into this glossy shine”▶ 28:10
- “If you're using a synthetic-haired brush, you probably won't be able to get that really kind of burnished, polished look. You'll get a nice high shine, but it'll just look a little bit more powdery. It'll look like it's just kind of sitting on top of the skin”▶ 28:27
- no still
BK Beauty$16- “This one from BK Beauty. This is that 207 brush. This is considered like a smudger brush because it has a really dense rounded shape to it. And so it's meant to be able to move and like work product out”▶ 31:35
- “What I like to do is actually run this across eyeliner. Kind of get it all over and then apply it from the brush. So I'm kind of doing two things at once. I'm applying the eyeliner in this smokey way without having to apply the eyeliner and then smoke it out”▶ 31:50
