Product FAQ+−
can i do a full eye look with just this one brush?
yes, and this is one of the most common ways community members use it. about 62% describe brush 01 as a one-and-done tool. the wider flat side lays down color across the lid, while the narrower edge lets you place shadow in the crease or outer corner. many community members say they rotate the brush during application to shift between packing and blending without switching tools.
will this work on hooded eyes?
roughly 20% of community members specifically mention having hooded eyes and finding brush 01 effective for crease definition and blending above the hood. the pinched, slightly compact shape helps keep shadow placement controlled. that said, about 12% of community members with smaller or heavily hooded lids feel the brush head is a touch too large and suggest pairing it with a smaller brush for detail work.
does it work with cream eyeshadows or just powders?
community members confirm it works with both. around 15% specifically mention using brush 01 with cream, liquid, or cream-to-powder formulas and report smooth application. powders are the most popular use case, but the natural goat hair picks up and distributes cream textures without absorbing too much product.
how does it compare to the mac 217?
this is one of the most frequent comparisons community members make. the general consensus is that brush 01 is similar in shape and purpose to the original natural-hair mac 217 but is softer, slightly more tapered, and blends with less pressure on the lid. many community members who switched after mac moved to synthetic bristles say brush 01 is a direct upgrade.
can i use it to blend concealer or set under-eye powder?
yes. around 8% of community members describe using brush 01 for tasks beyond eyeshadow, including blending concealer under the eyes, setting under-eye powder, applying highlighter, and even nose contouring. the compact head and soft bristles make it practical for precise face touch-ups in smaller areas.
