If you’ve ever struggled with eyeshadow that looks harsh, uneven, or just not as flattering as you’d like, you’re not alone. I specialize in helping women over 50 feel confident with their skincare and makeup routines, and one of the biggest game-changers is using the right brushes along with the right technique.

This week, I’m reviewing and demonstrating five eyeshadow brushes from BK Beauty that were developed in collaboration with Angie from Hot & Flashy. These brushes were designed with mature eyes in mind, and I must say, my makeup looks softer, more blended, and significantly more flattering since I started using them.

Why Brushes Even Matter More After 50

As our skin changes with age, eyeshadow application can become trickier. Lids may be hooded, crepey, or less firm, and the wrong brush can make shadows look patchy or uneven. The right tools, however, can make all the difference!

If you missed my recent post on how to organize and use different types of eye makeup brushes, you’ll definitely want to check it out — it pairs perfectly with this week’s tutorial.

The BK Beauty | Angie Hot & Flashy Eyeshadow Brushes

Here’s a closer look at the five brushes I tested:

• A501 Lid Shader – Perfect for packing color onto the lid. I also use it to apply highlight under my brow.

What makes it unique: the bristles are much longer and softer than any other all-over eyeshadow brush I've used. The softer bristles help deposit eyeshadow more completely, even in the deep creases where our eyes are most crepey.

• A502 Crease Shader – Fits beautifully into the crease for soft definition.

As we discussed last week, this falls under the long and tapered category for midtone/crease brushes

• A503 Blender – A must-have for seamless blending (no harsh lines here!).

🎩 Tip: use blender brushes only for blending! Do not dip them directly into eyeshadow and they'll stay nice and clean!

• A504 Detailer – Great for precision work like the outer corner, deeper shades in the crease, or lower lash line.

This brush makes me feel like a makeup artist! 👩‍🎨 I have always noticed how they use smaller and smaller brushes as they apply deeper and deeper shades in the crease and outer corner.

• A505 Shimmer – Designed to lay down shimmer shades in an exact area like the middle of your mobile lid.

This brush features stiff synthetic bristles that are also great for applying concealer, liquid or cream eyeshadow, and eye primer.

My Thoughts on the BK Beauty Brushes

After a few weeks of using these, here’s what I’ve noticed:

• My eye looks are softer and more age-appropriate.

• Blending is effortless, even with tricky matte shades.

• They work beautifully with Angie’s technique for mature eyes, which focuses on placement and softness.

• The brush quality is excellent! Soft bristles, sturdy handles, and no shedding.
