what's the best brush for smudging shadow in the under eye area?

the short blunt squarish brush, a fat & round brush but pointy at the tip, or a fan brush?

I use the 266 to line my eyes with shadow, not sure if this would be "smudgey" enough for you though. It tends to get a pretty defined line, but you could always smudge it out afterwards, I suppose.

i normally deposit the colour with a mac 219 and it can also be used to smoke up the colour pretty well.

yes, something like a 219 will do the job.

The 219 Pencil Brush - for smudging eyeshadow for a smokey eye (or even non-smokey)

I use an angle brush, sometimes the 219. I like the 219, just sometimes it applies too thick, so I need to be really careful.

I use 266 for lining the bottom with shadow as well. For me it's what I use when I want a smudgey look

311 or 316, both are categorized as lipliner brushes but also can be used as eyeliner.

#219 pencil brush is the best!

219 or a 266/263 definitely. Depends how "smudgy" and thick you want it. For thicker/smudgier the 219, a more preciser line then the 266/263.

For MAC brushes, I (as well as everyone else, it looks like!) like the #219, and the reaaalllly small brushes like the #228 and #231 are also great...

For other companies, NARS has a WONDERFUL smudger brush that just blows the others out of the water when it comes to smudging and under-eye work! It's a little bit expensive (but really no more so than MAC), but it sure is worth it

Funnily enough, I have about a gazillion brushes - MAC, Chanel, Shu, UD, TM... but for smudging I like to go over my applied e/l with a $1 sponge tip E.L.F. smudger brush: http://www.eyeslipsface.com/products.asp?dept_id=1025
