    Very versatile brush. This brush could be used for applying regular eyeshadow, MAC paints, maybe even concealer, because the shape of it reminds me a little of MAC's foundation brush. It's almost...

    I don't normally fall in love with brushes but this is the best investment I've ever made. I bought it as a recommendation from the MAC salesgirl for applying my paints and adore it! If you like...

    Concealer brushes are supposed to be synthetic...says who? I thought I just sucked at putting on concealer until I put it on with this. It may be too big if you have little dots to cover, but for...

    This is a great multi-purpose brush! I love how the stiff bristles can be used to pack on a dense layer of color. I also love to use the brush to blend out paints or powerpoints when I use them as...

    This brush is a godsend. My other shadow brush left too sheer of a wash, when I wanted dense jewel-tone color, so I always used my finger to apply color to the lid (for shame!). Then I purchased...

    I love this brush! Firm natural hairs, fairly broad head. Great with shadows (strong washes of color and works even in the crease), paints or for applying concealer to larger areas. This may be one...

    I use this brush for dense sweeps of color. It's best for providing a strong base layer of shadow. When I want a soft sweep of color I use my 275. The stiffness of the bristles gives me a lot of...

    I really like this brush. It is great for applying eyeshadows or pigments but it is a great brush to cover alot of area with, so using this to apply a wash is great.

    I use this brush to apply my "paint". I was using it for concealor application, but it was to big and bulky to use around my under eye area. The MAC SA told me to try #242 for that, and she was...

    MAC #252 is the larger version of #242. Its a great stiff taklon brush but i prefer the narrower #242 for more precision. this one is just a little too big.

    I love this brush. I use it every single day. It's perfect for a wash of color. The bristles are stiffer, but it holds a lot of color. I guard it with my life!

    This is a well made brush but I'm not sure what the designer meant it for. It's 5/16" wide by 1/2" long which speaks of a brush for the application of large quantities of eyeshadow base color. ...

    For some reason, the girl at the counter gave me this brush to use with their select cover up concealer. It functions okay for this, but I get pricked everytime I use it. It is much more...

    This eyeshadow brush is somewhat stiffer than the other e/s brushes. I like it for applying paints and for blending colors down.

    I like my Stila #22 brush a lot more than this, but it still works pretty nice. I like to use it when I'm doing the smokey look with my black or brown shadows.

    Great brush for applying a bit of product to the crease. It is a bit larger than one might expect, but does a fine precise application.
