Recently, I found myself having trouble blending. Ironically, I realized something was wrong when I started having trouble with my Pat shades. I've always loved her formulas, so I knew something was off. I've had the same brushes for years, so I knew that wasn't the problem. Eventually, I went back to basics - grabbed my OG primer and remembered to use a transition shade or translucent powder for transition. That solved the problem and it made me think about how trends in beauty affect my technique. For example, I got excited about color - especially using those Anastasia pigment palettes. Applying a really colorful rainbow eye or cut crease calls for different techniques. I also realized I started using all these different bases and primers just because I wanted to try them, not really thinking about how each base/primer might affect the look I was trying to achieve. I like the Anastasia base also, but it has a lot of grip. It's designed for shadows to stick to it, not necessarily glide across it. Going back to basics really helped me. Here's hoping sharing this experience may be of use to someone else!
Today, for the very first time I used my Zoeva 227 brush to blend PMG and I tried to replicate the look that Mel did - and wow, oh, wow.. for the very first time I understood what PMG matte is really about and how beautiful it can look. RIP, Queen.
This was a hidden gem. I don't know how I missed this when you first released it!!! Miss you so much. You gave such a great demonstration on how the brush can make the look .
I miss you Mel. I have this video saved in my playlist because I have the Bronze Seduction palette. You taught me so much. Your giggle and lovely personality still shines a light upon my days. I'm grateful to have found your channel. 💕🌻
After over a year of putting this in my cart and removing it, I finally ordered this palette on the Pat website with the cyberweek discount!!! The shades are beautiful but the formula intimidates me... So this video is really helpful!! Thanks!
I was about to jump on that deal too, but I noticed that for somebody who lives in Canada, 20% off + duty free was the better deal. I'll wait again :'(
Oh my god.... this explains EVERYTHING. This is one of the most helpful videos on RUclips. And having the camera so close and showing is everything with no filters, and explaining what you're doing and why as you're doing it is so unbelievably helpful making me understand. I GET IT NOW.
I’m a painter and I always say you can make mediocre paint work with good brushes, but it’s difficult to make top quality paint work with mediocre brushes. It also helps to know which brush works best for a particular technique and type of paint. Same applies to makeup.
Gosh, I JUST LOVE PAT MCGRATH PEODUCTS!!! Her VII (NEWEST ROSE PALLET IS JUST SO BEAUTIFUL, V is STILL MY #1 THOUGH!) LOVE ALSO HER CUSTOMER SERVICE, ANYTIME THERE HAS BEEN A ISSUE or if I have A Question, THEIR ALWAYS THERE, AND SO VERY NICE TO SPEAK WITH!!! HONESTLY, I CAN'T COMPLAIN ABOUT ANYTHING (OTHER THAN HER PRODUCTS SELLING OUT SO FAST!) And I MUST AGREE WITH YOU ABOUT WHICH BRUSH TO ACTUALLY USE WITH HER PRODUCTS!!! IT's AMAZING HOW CERTAIN BRUSHES CAN MAKE OR BREAK YOUR LOOKS!!! SO IMPORTANT TO KNOW THIS STUFF!!! THANK YOU MEL, AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!
Ahhhh, I freaking love your level of detail and explanations in this video! Would you be open to making the same video for ABH shadows or softer formulas? Thank you so much for doing this video and I guess I’m investing in some nice brushes!! Happy thanksgiving 🦃 ❤️
OMG!!! MEL JUST ORDERED REFHER BRUSHES!!! AND DURING THEIR "BLACK FRIDAY SALE!" I CLEANED UP!!!!😍THANK YOU!!! WHAT A DEAL!!! $100.00 BACK, 2 BUY MORE!!! PLUS THEY HAD A BOGO SALE TODAY, SO NOW I GOT A TOTAL OF 16 HANDMADE BRUSHES, FOR ONLY AROUND $270.00!!! HELL, I CAN'T EVEN GET A SET OF WAYNE GOSS FOR ALL OF THAT, AND ITS ALL THANKS 2 YOU!!! THANK YOU 4 MAKING MY HOLIDAY!!! (I ONLY GET GIFTS WHEN I BUY THEM 4 MYSELF!) NOW I FEEL AS IF THIS WAS TRULY A GIFT FROM YOU!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
You have no idea how helpful you have been to my eyeshadow game over the years. I learned so much watching your videos over the years...I love how you break everything down, and show us step by step...I really didn't realize what a difference a brush can make when using a palette...I have this palette but am very intimated most of the time to use it...So, I'm breaking this bad boy out and get some good use of it!! I'm thankful for you my friend....
in France we do not do thanksgiving but I wish you a very nice party with your family. Make-up brushes and make-up art are the keys to perfect makeup. I have mac and bobby brown brushes and I have fun with it. good thanksgiving to all
THANK YOU for this tutorial!!! I’ve often struggled with PMG shadows looking patchy but this really helps me realize the tools and technique are key to a properly blended application! I’ve done a re-vamp of my brush collection as I realized a too-soft brush was doing me no favors. I have hooded eyes and definitely found that a smaller denser brush was the way for me to go.
Wish there was a love button instead of just a like. I so appreciate you explaining the impact of the brushes as well as suggesting the correct brushes. You are also explaining how to hold brushes and position the brush ends. This was just SUPER helpful and perhaps I can now go forth and make a nice look with PM (ha)
Thank you for taking the time to explain and show the efficiency of different brushes with these eyeshadows. I’ve got 5 of Pats eyeshadow palette’s and I’ve really struggled to use them. Now I know why. So I’m going to go brush shopping. Thank you 🙏
Wow I know a good brush can make a difference but didn’t realize they made that big of a difference. I was especially surprised by the lid shade, it honestly looked like two different colors. Love watching your vids, you’re always so informative!💕
Can’t thank you enough for all the details and explanations, you are an amazing artist and this kind of videos are so useful!. It is unbelievable how good brushes like Wayne Goss, Sonia or Hakuhodo among others can be a game changer. Thanks a lot Mel😘❤️
Yeah I've realized in the past yr that when u have the right brushes for any part of the face it becomes simple and fun to do ur makeup!! It blew my mind let me tell ya when I got some really good brushes finally!
Very helpful Mel. Huge!!! What a difference using the correct brush can make in the outcome in application and finished look. Thankyou for taking the time to teach us about all these brushes. ❤
This is really helpful and amazing the difference not only in the patchiness, but also in tone. My 7 year old daughter is even enjoying watching this video with me and saying she's noticing the differences.
The queen of blending speaks! Great content. Loved your q n a w Kelsey Briana 💙🙏🏾💙 two of my favs. This is a stark example of how important it is for me to get know my tools, experiment and utilize each brush with different shadow brands and formulas. Omg, your right eye looks so different and pristine compared to the other. 💜💜💜 Thank you!
Woow dear Mel thank you so much this is the best video of the year, I bought the same pallet MV and thought it was not special and preferred the viseart mattes , now I know why because I was using my favourite brushes wich always worked well for me , but definitely have tu use different ones for pat and maybe some other pallets that I own , the difference of the eye look is tremendous. Many many thanks my dear 😘😘😘💓
FinallyI picked it up this palette in the Sephora sale. It is beautiful to behold. Mel I cannot wait to see your 2019 favourites. I am a fan of good brushes, I do not compromise here.
Thank you for this very clear instructional video that really showed the difference in the effect that brushes have on make up. Especially looking fwd to the arrival of my set of rephr brushes now! 😄
This has got to be the best brush video I've ever seen , the difference in brushes are amazing I have a few of those issue thank u so much I will be rewatching this over and over till I remember it all
Mel, you’re a freaking psychic!!! I was on the Zoeva site buying brushes and I came to RUclips looking for brush info. Then I decided to come looking directly in your channel, and this was the freshest video 😳 👌 Thank you!
I'm watching this for the second time now. I couldn't believe my eyes the first time and I was waiting for my pallet in the mail. Now that I have it I can take notes and get a good idea of what I need. Those brushes just cost so much $$$$ !!!! Even cheap ones are expensive to me after making this pallet purchase. But i am SO GRATEFUL you made this video! 😘
Oh my goodness we can see the difference. My eyes usually end up like your eye with the non-preferred brushes and I am SO happy to know why now!!! This tutorial was SO helpful to help me understand how brushes are so different. I cannot wait to get some of these and make my shadows work easier and better for me! Have a great Thanksgiving!!! 😘
I'm so excited for the update on the REPHR Brushes!! I ordered them through your link when you first introduced them to us. Even more excited to use them on my new Pat McGrath Palettes, that I ordered during the Black Friday Sale. I ordered the Bronze Seduction Palette, so I was so grateful that you demonstrated the REPHR Brushes and that Palette in your video. Thanks, Mel. 🙏💛
I always knew that brushes made a huge difference but wow when you used the rose gold with your preferred brush my goodness what a difference so off I go to play with all my brushes now lol thanks for a great informative video and Happy Thanksgiving Beauty 😘
When it comes to shimmers like Pat McGrath’s and Natasha Denona, I either just use my finger or one of those silicone applicators in harder times reach areas. This is so helpful - I’ve really been struggling to get my Divine Rose palette to pop. Everything comes out so muted. Hopefully these ideas will help.
Wow, what a great tutorial, it all finally came together!! After watching every video on eyeshadow application for the last 5 months, all the pieces fell into place after watching you today and I had an aaaamazing eyeshadow moment. These hooded crepey eyes looked so terrific tonight that I wish I could post a picture! After carefully listening and following all your tips my eyes are like night and day. This is the first time that my PMG DR pallet didn't look a muddy mess. I can't wait to try my other pallets with all my new knowledge, thanks again, you're awesome ❣
This is so so helpful Mel !!!!’ Thank you love brushes video. Unbelievable the difference what a great idea 💡 it really bring the point home. Even the colours look different
This level of detail is so helpful for me! I only use my Linda hallberg brushes for any look, so that tip for the inner corner highlight shade just made my life so much essier! Thank you!
Thank you Mel for such an informative video I would imagine it took you a lot of work to make it so indept. Such great tips to use on all sorts of formulas, it is good to know what brush to use for more powdery vs more creamy formulas. You are such a great teacher, since I started watching you like a year ago my make up game improved so much and doing my make up gotten even more fun and relaxing because of you. Thank you so much Mel!
I’ve just purchased this pallet and absolutely love it! This video is exactly what I was looking for. Omg the difference in your eyes! Keeping this video in my collection
Mel this was one of the most helpful videos I've ever seen you or anybody else do for this subject. THIS is almost certainly WHY I don't think her shadows are that great. I rarely use dense brushes because they are not as kind to my more mature eyes and I could definitely see that the shadows performed very differently depending on which brushes you were using. I've not really had a problem with "patchiness" and her shadows so much as I just don't get the big ta do because they don't perform any better for me than say Sydney Grace shadows and they cost so much. IN FACT I just said this in a video I'm editing LOL Bravo! Love you Buttercup! xoxo
Thank you so much for making this video. I just got my first PMG palette and I was wondering if anyone made a video like this. So glad I found your video. I’m saving this video and making notes. 😀. I am not a make up artist but just an enthusiast. I cannot wait to follow your topics and create looks with my Midnight Sun palette soon. 🙏
Thank you Mel!!! I received the Sonia G sky set and the Rephr core collection as an early xmas prezzie from my grand-parents! So grateful for your vid!! Can't wait to receive the Rephr brushes so I can start playing with the PMG palette. xoxo
Holy smokes the difference!! 😱🤯 I just got my rephr brushes from Kickstarter so I'm very happy you used them for this demonstration. Also.... I am now kicking myself for not getting this palette during the sale because of this look!! 😻 I've been wanting it because of how you feel about it but this look really put me over the edge that I need it!!
What a very informative video! I actually wore a PMG palette on Thanksgiving and I was very unhappy with the way my eyeshadow look turned out. I was definitely using the wrong brush. I just ordered Sonia G brushes! Now I’m really excited about trying the look again! 😊 Thank you!
This was such a helpful video - I never realized just how big a difference brushes can make!! The side by side comparison was astounding to see. I was excited that Rephr was offering a buy one, get one sale this weekend on their brushes so hopefully this will help with some of my shadow application.
I can’t wait for my Rephr brushes to come, and brushes does make a huge difference, that’s why I made the switch from synthetic to natural hair I’ve seen the difference it makes and I ❤️ it
Great video. As a 50 yr old woman I find myself spending a lot of time trying figure out the right combination of primer, setting primer, and brushes to work well with my crepey hooded eyes. Hope you have a great holiday!
Thank you so much for this video. I don’t have any PM shadows but I feel these brush tips can help with most shadows. I did the kickstarter with rephr and can’t wait fo my brushes. I love this purple eye as well! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. Now let’s move on to Christmas. I noticed you changed your backdrop. 🎄🎁🔔
Ironically, I just ordered the Zoeva eye brush set from Beauty Bay the day before you posted this video. Very excited for them to arrive! I live for all your tips in your videos!
Wow thank you for the tips didn’t think it mattered but guess it does!! I was one to stay the mattes were ok but now I what to use know next time I use them! 🙌🏼
Another fab tutorial!! I'd love to see a video with your top favorite high-end brushes! Maybe your top 5 for each line you like? Happy Thanksgiving, Mel! :)

I really hope you do some looks with the new Linda Hallberg palette, I would love to see what you do with it 💚💚
I'm watching this for the second time now. I couldn't believe my eyes the first time and I was waiting for my pallet in the mail.

But i am SO GRATEFUL you made this video! 😘
Oh my goodness we can see the difference. My eyes usually end up like your eye with the non-preferred brushes and I am SO happy to know why now!!!

When it comes to shimmers like Pat McGrath’s and Natasha Denona, I either just use my finger or one of those silicone applicators in harder times reach areas. This is so helpful - I’ve really been struggling to get my Divine Rose palette to pop. Everything comes out so muted. Hopefully these ideas will help.
Kristen Potter Fingers are highly underrated makeup tools.
Yes!! You did the video I asked for! Thank you!! ❤️❤️

What an amazing difference. It was so helpful to see what a difference a brush can make. Thank you sooo much!
This was a FANTASTIC video! Thank you as always Mel for the outstanding content!
Great video. As a 50 yr old woman I find myself spending a lot of time trying figure out the right combination of primer, setting primer, and brushes to work well with my crepey hooded eyes. Hope you have a great holiday!
Wow you can really see the difference good brushes make. Thanks.
Dammit Mel-now I went and got those rephr brushes :-/ I don’t even own any pat mcgrath shadows lol. You are just so convincing 😋
Thank you so much for this video. I don’t have any PM shadows but I feel these brush tips can help with most shadows. I did the kickstarter with rephr and can’t wait fo my brushes. I love this purple eye as well! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. Now let’s move on to Christmas. I noticed you changed your backdrop. 🎄🎁🔔
Ironically, I just ordered the Zoeva eye brush set from Beauty Bay the day before you posted this video. Very excited for them to arrive! I live for all your tips in your videos!
