This is a tutorial on how to make an eyeshadow brush, just as easily you could make powder brushes, blush brushes, angled eye shadow brushes, lip brushes, eyeliner brushes, fan brushes, kabuki brushes, foundation brushes)

Why would you want to make your own eyeshadow brush?
- Its fairly simple to do, and inexpensive
- could be a craft project (children always want makeup of their own)
- customize your makeup brush to your style of application
- its eco-friendly, the makeup industry is huge (in 2006 it was a $230 billion industry http://www.forbes.com/2006/02/08/best-  selling-cosmetics_cx_me_0209feat_ls.html)
