A set of Photoshop & GIMP brushes composed of various shapes of eyeshadow. It includes just most of the traditional eye shadow shapes, either broken up into individual brushes or all together. It also includes various glittery effects, patterned eye makeup, and face painting styled eye accents (a butterfly and a swirl). It should make your Photoshop makeup applications much easier and more fun! Brushes are included for both the right and left eyes.
It should make your Photoshop makeup applications much easier and more fun, without having to resort to the plain old one-color-without-much-shape shadow job.
Brushes are included for both the right and left eyes (so it’s actually 26 unique brushes), for your convenience.
These are tons of fun to play with, so enjoy!
Also shown in the preview picture are our Eyelashes Photoshop & GIMP Brushes.
Programs: Photoshop 7+, Photoshop Elements 2+, Gimp 2.2.6+
Brushes: 52
Size: 2.73MB

Brush Tip: With this set, I would suggest putting each of the eyeshadow “parts” on its own layer. Then, you can play around with the colors individually. Also, you’ll be able to choose various layer blending styles. You’ll find that the layer styles can make a vast difference on how realistic these look!
To change the layer blending style, look at the top area of your layers palette. There will be a dropdown menu on the left side – it will start out saying “Normal”. Click on the arrow next to that and select the various kinds of blending styles from the dropdown menu.
Using the right kind of blending style can help ensure that the shadow doesn’t look like it’s somehow “on top” of the person’s lashes. My suggestions to check out, in particular: multiply, screen, overlay, hard/soft light, color, and hue.
Hope this helps!

amazing brushes.
im going to put a link up on my page.=]
wait…..does it mean if we open our own solo picture and brush it w/ this brush in our eyes we’ll have eye shadows?
Marie: That’s exactly correct. You may have to reshape the brush to fit around the eye perfectly, but yep. That’s what they’re made for!
Help how do i actuly put the brushes oN THE POGRAM
@Salwa: when you open the brushscreen there’s a arrow next to it: click on it, and then load brushes. Select your brush and than you have your brush;)
@Salwa: What Ellen said! And here’s a full tutorial, in case you need more: http://www.obsidiandawn.com/installing-photoshop-brushes-tutorial
It’s in the sidebar, for future reference. :)
Thanks, Ellen!
Dear Stephanie,
I managed to upload one of your fabulous brush sets..and then I made a terrible mistake, I clicked properties on one of my dowloaded brush sets and changed it to open with photoshop and all of them changed! What is it MEANT to say on th efile of opens with?
Thanks :)

@Emma: They should say Photoshop, so you didn’t mess anything up! But you don’t just click on the file to open it and use the brushes – check out my tutorial on installing them here: http://www.obsidiandawn.com/installing-photoshop-brushes-tutorial
Also, you may want to make sure it’s the unzipped file that you changed the properties to open with Photoshop, and not the SS-*.zip file. Zip files shouldn’t open with Photoshop – it should open with Windows Explorer (or, that’s what my Vista says for properties of zip files).
Good luck!
Hey Stephanie,
Just wanted to say your website is amazing, especially how you have made it so accessible for people to use:) I’m a beginer using Photoshop so I’m just getting used to the features but i did have a problem though i hope you could help me with. The brushes are fantastic and they have uploaded with no problem, but when i have tried to put the lashes on, they dont seem to fit the eye properly. Is there any way I can re-adjust it? The only thing i have managed to do is change the size of it on the bush “Master Diameter” scale, but the angles are still not fitting perfectly. If you have any tips that would be great, thanks:)
Thank you again for the great brushes:)
@Stephanie: Your best bet is to use the brush on its own layer, then use the Edit > Transform tool to adjust them to the shape of the eye. You can use the Warp Transform to get the “roundness” of the lashes just right. Hope this helps!
Hi, I just downloaded your bruses and I love them, they are so cool. But I want to know how do I resize or rotate the brushes to fit my eyes in a certain picture.
Blaze2001 go to “edit” and down to “transform” then theres a list of options. Click “Scale” or “Rotate” depending on what you want. The image has to be unlocked to edit it with these. double click on the background layer and then click “ok” to unlock it.
goodluck
@Blaze2001: Put them on their own layer, and then use Edit > Transform to make them fit the shape of the eye. You could do resize, rotate, or even warp if you need to change the curvature. Enjoy!
Oops, didn’t see that J had already answered it. Thanks, J! Just thought I’d leave it, to explain the use of warp, too. :)
i uploaded the eyelashes and lips succesfully and can use them as brushes. but when i try to upload any other packs they come as images and not as .pspbrushes i also cannot change the format of the type of file so i cannot use any other packs as brushes. only images :( PLEASE HELP
@Jade: Well, these brushes weren’t made for PSP. I’m not sure why the eyelashes and lips would work for you and others wouldn’t… NONE of them should be working in PSP.
However, you’ll notice that on each page, there’s a download for the brushes, and then a download for the image pack. The image pack may have been what you were grabbing on all the other sets, perhaps? Make sure you’re downloading the brushes!
If the brushes aren’t working, then that’s what the image packs are for. They are just JPGs, and you can then use them to make brushes in whatever program you’re using… so you could use them that way in PSP, if not any other way.
Good luck!
Great brushes.. I have a question though.. I downloaded them.. But I dont know how to turn them into brushes.. I have Gimp2. Do I need to do each one individually is there away to make them all brushes instantly and if so how. Thank you so much.
Cm-
@Catelin: Gimp 2? Is there a Gimp 2, or do you mean version 2? These will work in Gimp version 2.2.6 and above. So if you only have 2.0, just upgrade your version of GIMP and they’ll work perfectly! I also have directions for installing brushes in my sidebar, and that includes for GIMP users. :)
Good luck!
what a fantastic set. in fact its all stunning. im in awe and jealous of your skils!
thanks so much

I’ve been looking for Eyebrow brushes but there dosen’t seem to be many out there.
Please, please, please make some eyebrow brushes : )
Hi Stephanie!
Thank you so much for posting that kind of brushes. I love to work with extreme makeover and it helps a lot to save time, once you already know how to make that in free hand!!
(sorry my bad english… I’m a brazilian who tries to speak english… lol.. thank you again!!)
These are so cool! Thanks! I love all your brushes!
[...] meddlesome images brushes themselves, check picture container website here: [link] [...]
I tried to put the brushes on, it worked but, the next time i turned on photoshop, the brushes weren’t there anymore.
@Trishaa: If you save them into your Photoshop > Presets > Brushes folder, then they will always be there whenever you use Photoshop. If it didn’t save the current info when it closed (if it was closed improperly), then you may have to re-open them, but they’ll always be available from the list of brushes to choose from.
Hope this helps!
For all ya Gimpers, to install brushes, patterns, or other things, go to My Computer, C: Drive Program Files, Gimp-2.0, share, gimp, 2.0, and click on the folder that matches what you’re installing. Copy, move, or save your file there and refresh the brushes dialog by clicking on the little blue arrows at bottom. Some things can only be refresh by restarting Gimp.
Here is the path:
C:\Program Files (x86)\GIMP-2.0\share\gimp\2.0\brushes
This is a really neat set – thank you!
Thanks so much. It worked and now i don’t have to reload them all the time.
:D
