Product FAQ+−
can i use this for both powder and cream eyeshadow?
yes. roughly 72% of community members use brush 01 with powder shadows, and about 25% regularly use it with cream or liquid formulas as well. community members note it performs well with both textures, though a small number found powder shadows slightly easier to work with.
will this work on hooded eyes?
about 18% of community members specifically mention having hooded eyes, and the vast majority of them consider brush 01 a strong fit. the pinched, slightly flat shape tucks into the crease effectively. a small number of community members with very compact lid space preferred a smaller brush for more precision.
can i do a full eye look with just this one brush?
this is one of the most common use cases. around 65% of community members describe using brush 01 as their only eye brush for everyday looks. the wide side places color across the lid, and turning it to the narrow edge lets you work into the crease or outer corner for more definition.
how does it compare to the mac 217?
community members frequently draw this comparison. the consensus is that brush 01 is similar in shape and purpose but softer, with many noting it feels like an upgraded version. several community members who switched from the original natural-hair mac 217 say they now prefer brush 01 and no longer reach for the mac.
is this good for beginners who are new to eyeshadow?
about 12% of community members describe themselves as beginners or having limited makeup experience, and they consistently highlight how intuitive brush 01 is to use. the shape naturally guides placement and blending, so community members report achieving a polished look with minimal technique or effort.
