Product FAQ+−
can i do a full eye look with just this one brush?
about 68% of community members say they regularly use brush 01 as their only eye brush for a complete look. the wider side lays color across the lid, while the narrower edge works into the crease and outer corner. for simple, everyday shadow looks it handles every step from application to blending.
will this work on hooded eyes?
many community members with hooded eyes consider brush 01 one of their go-to brushes, citing its tapered shape for fitting into the crease. around 15% feel it runs slightly large for limited lid space and prefer pairing it with a smaller brush for detail work. if your lids are very small, checking a compact option alongside brush 01 can help.
does it work with cream eyeshadow or just powder?
community members confirm brush 01 works with both powder and cream formulas. roughly 74% use it primarily with powder shadows, while a notable group reports strong results with cream and liquid products as well. a small number of community members noted that very stiff cream formulas can be trickier to blend with it.
how does it compare to the mac 217?
community members frequently describe brush 01 as a direct successor to the original natural-hair mac 217, but softer and with a slightly more tapered profile. many who switched say blending requires less effort and pressure on the lid. the handle is a touch shorter, which some prefer for control and others wish were longer.
can i use it to blend concealer under my eyes?
about 8% of community members regularly use brush 01 for under-eye concealer application and setting powder. its density picks up product without absorbing too much, and its size covers the under-eye area efficiently. several community members also mention it works well for spot concealing and nose contour.
