Product Details+
a pinched-ferrule eye brush with natural undyed goat hair bristles and a lightweight matte black plastic handle. the brush head has a flat oval profile, wider on one axis and narrower on the other, with a slightly tapered dome. overall dimensions are compact, similar in footprint to the mac 217 but with a slightly more tapered tip.
Reviews+
roughly 85% of community members highlight versatility as the standout trait, noting brush 01 works for packing color, blending the crease, and one-and-done shadow looks. softness is praised nearly universally, with many calling it the softest eye brush they own. about 68% specifically mention blending performance, while approximately 40% use the word "multitasker" or describe completing a full eye look with this single brush. the most common concern, raised by around 12% of community members, is that the brush head is a bit large for smaller or hooded eyes. a small number of community members noted some bristle splaying after washing.
Usage+
  • blending transition shades in the crease (68%)
  • one-and-done wash of color over the lid (40%)
  • packing shadow on the outer corner (24%)
Product FAQ+

can i do a full eye look with just this one brush?

about 40% of community members say they regularly complete an entire eye look using only brush 01. the flat side packs color onto the lid, while the tapered tip lets you place shadow in the crease or outer corner. turning the brush to its narrow edge gives more precision. for simple, everyday looks it handles everything from placement to blending.

will this work on hooded eyes?

many community members with hooded eyes reach for brush 01 daily. around 15% of reviews specifically mention hooded eyes, and most of those find the size and shape well suited for crease definition and controlled placement. about 12% of all community members feel the brush head is slightly large for their lid space, so those with very limited lid real estate may want to consider a smaller companion brush as well.

does it work with cream eyeshadows or just powders?

community members confirm brush 01 works with powder, cream, and liquid shadow formulas. roughly 10% of reviews specifically call out strong performance with cream products. a small number of community members noted that very stiff cream formulas can be trickier, but for most cream-to-powder and standard cream textures, the natural hair picks up and blends the product smoothly.

how does it compare to the mac 217?

community members frequently draw this comparison, with many describing brush 01 as a softer, slightly more tapered alternative to the original natural-hair mac 217. several note they switched after mac moved to synthetic bristles. the consensus is that brush 01 blends with less pressure and feels gentler on the lid, while offering a very similar shape and versatility.

can i use it for anything besides eyeshadow?

community members report using brush 01 for setting powder under the eyes, blending out concealer, nose contouring, applying highlighter, and even diffusing lip products. roughly 8% of reviews describe a non-eyeshadow use. its compact size and soft bristles make it a practical multi-zone tool beyond the eyes.
