    My favorite eye brush, by far. I use this for paints and pigments, and e/s when I'd like to pick up more product. The brush has the perfect flexibility, not too soft and not too rigid. The best...

    This is a stiff brush for applying an all over color. It's also small enough to apply eyeshadow from the lash to your crease. Recently, I have found that this is an awesome brush for applying...

    This is my favourite eyeshadow brush. I use it to line my eyes and to blend in the crease. The brush is stiff and it works very well for me. I use it for my MAC paints, pigments, and eyeshadows....

    I use this brush for applying concealor around my under eye area. I was using the 252, which is way to big and doesn't get the little areas that I need to get very well. This brush can get a...

    I'm a bit disappointed with this brush. I've been using it primarily to apply concealor and the bristles are so stiff and prickly that it sometimes hurt my undereye area. However, I've been using...

    This brush is perfect when using MAC paints. I've always loved their brushes, and although to some the prices of them are outrageous, I believe that they are well worth it.

    I am torn about this brush. I wanted it as a concealer brush, but it just doesn't WORK as that for me. But I really like it for my paints and for applying my powder eyeshadows wet. I guess I...

    I'm usually a Shu Uemura girl when it comes to brushes but I was nicely surprised when I tried the 242 brush as an eyeshadow brush.

    Yes, I love this brush. I bought it specifically to sweep on YSL's Touche Eclat, and it does the job splendidly. The bristles are soft but firm - perfect for the job.
