    MAC MA used this as a concealer brush, and it's PERFECT. I wouldn't use this as the eyeshadow brush it is, it's just stiff enough to apply concealer perfectly.

    I have 242E (in travel set) and I dont really like the texture of it. Rather rough and doesnt pick up powder e/s. I havent try using it for cream e/s though but i will defintely give it a try.

    This is my FAVORITE brush! I use it to apply color directly to my lid (then I blend with the 275 brush) - I also use the 242 for applying wet eyeshadow as eyeliner. My holy grail brush!

    This brush is absolutely essential for apply MAC Paints or any other cream e/s. It could also be used w/ cream/liquid concealers. This brush was a little on the expensive side, but it is very high...

    I love this brush! It is perfect for applying paints to the lid and getting them to blend in nicely. It is also easy to clean.

    I love this brush. It is perfect for cream eyeshadows and for concealer. Wonderful around the eyes, the sides of the nose, and even for as a broader spot concealer brush. So versatile, really...

    I've only used this brush for concealer but so far so good! It's really great for a mid end brush but I prefer my Shu #10 nylon! It's much softer!

    Of all my MAC e/s brushes, this one is the most important! An absolute must for creme based products, it is great for powder applications too! Granted, it has a denser color placement of powder...

    Very nice, soft brush. Perfect size for lid, crease e./s application. However, I prefer Sonia K. softer and cheaper. I barely use my 242 anymore

    I was disappointed in this brush. It is a taklon brush used for cream based products. #252 is the bigger one and #242 is the smaller one. I think the bristles dont apply color very well. I...

    If you plan on using MAC (eye) Paints - then you'll need a good brush that doesn't "absorb" the product, but instead, applies it evenly. Here's where MAC's #242 is suberb! It's soft, yet firm...
