Product Details+
brush 02 is a flat shader with dense, short natural goat hair bristles in a rounded paddle shape. the ferrule is matte black with a lightweight matte black handle that is shorter than full-length brushes. the brush head tapers slightly at the edges, giving it a compact profile suited for precise lid coverage.

Product FAQ+

can i use brush 02 with cream eyeshadow or just powder?

about 14% of community members specifically mention using brush 02 with cream or liquid eyeshadow and report smooth, even application. the dense bristles pick up cream formulas well and spread them across the lid without patchiness. it works with powder, cream, and liquid formulas, making it a reliable multi-formula brush.

will this work on hooded eyes?

many community members with hooded eyes consider brush 02 a go-to because of its compact size. roughly 8% specifically mention hooded eyes, noting the shorter bristles and small footprint fit their lid space without depositing color where they don't want it. a small number of community members noted it can feel slightly large for very small hooded lids.

is brush 02 good for picking up glitter and shimmer shadows?

yes, this is one of the most common uses. around 68% of community members use brush 02 to pack shimmer, glitter, or metallic shadows onto the lid. community members frequently compare the payoff to using a fingertip but with more precision and less mess. wetting the brush or the shadow can boost intensity even further.

can i use it to smudge eyeliner?

about 21% of community members use brush 02 along the upper or lower lash line to smudge pencil or gel liner into a soft, smoky finish. the tapered edge and dense bristles give enough control for precise smudging without dragging. many note it creates a diffused liner effect that looks polished and effortless.

how does brush 02 compare to the mac 239?

community members frequently reference the mac 239 as the closest comparison. the consensus is that brush 02 is softer, picks up pigment more effectively, and holds its shape better over time. several community members describe it as a direct upgrade, with denser bristles and a more comfortable feel on the lid.
