Product FAQ+−
can i use this for both powder and cream eyeshadow?
yes. roughly 70% of community members use brush 01 with powder shadows, but a significant portion also report it works well with cream and liquid formulas. the natural goat hair picks up and distributes both textures smoothly. a small number of community members noted cream products can be slightly harder to clean out of the bristles afterward.
will this work on hooded eyes?
about 30% of community members specifically mention having hooded eyes and finding brush 01 well suited for their shape. the tapered profile fits into the crease without depositing color where you don't want it. some community members with very small hooded lids prefer the mini version or a smaller rephr brush like the 13 or 14 for more precise work.
can i do a full eye look with just this one brush?
around 65% of community members say they use brush 01 as their only eye brush for simple looks. the flat side packs color onto the lid, the tapered tip places shadow in the crease or outer corner, and the fluffy profile blends everything together. for more complex, multi-shade looks you may want to pair it with a dedicated blending or detail brush.
how does this compare to the mac 217?
community members frequently draw this comparison. the consensus is that brush 01 is similar in shape but slightly more tapered, with softer natural bristles. many note it blends with less pressure on the lid. those who loved the original natural-hair mac 217 before it switched to synthetic tend to consider brush 01 a direct upgrade at a comparable price.
what other brushes pair well with brush 01?
community members most often mention pairing it with rephr brush 15 for larger-area blending, brush 13 or 14 for more precise crease and detail work, and brush 23 for tighter lower lash line application. together, brush 01 and one smaller detail brush cover the needs of most eye looks according to the community.
