BRUSH 02

$22

a firm shader brush that's dense and soft at the same time - optimized for maximum pigment payoff. works with both powders and creams and is perfect for laying down pigments, quick smokey eyes and delicate work near the lower lashline.

the 02 is our flagship shader brush and has been optimized to work for all eye shapes, including hooded eyes and monolids.

handmade in Kumano, Japan by master artisans using uncut natural hair.

bristle length: 10mm

Product Details+
brush 02 is a flat, paddle-shaped shader with dense, short natural goat hair bristles and a tapered edge. the compact brush head sits on a matte black handle that is shorter than full-length brushes. the bristles are firmly packed yet maintain a slight roundedness, allowing both broad surface contact and narrower edge work.
Reviews+
roughly 85% of community members praise brush 02 for how effectively it picks up and packs on eyeshadow, with shimmer and cream formulas mentioned especially often. around 68% highlight its softness on the delicate eye area, and many note it works well for hooded, small, or mature eyes. about 12% of community members wish it were slightly larger or had longer bristles for faster full-lid coverage. a small number of community members noted the brush can feel a bit stiff for blending or that it does not pick up very dense glitter formulas as well as a fingertip would.
Usage+
  • packing shimmer or matte shadow on the lid (61%)
  • smudging or lining the lower lash line (22%)
  • applying cream or liquid eyeshadow (14%)
Product FAQ+

can i use brush 02 for a quick one-and-done eyeshadow look?

yes, and many community members say this is one of their favorite uses for it. about 15% specifically mention brush 02 as their go-to for simple, single-shade looks. its density picks up enough product in one pass to cover the mobile lid evenly, and the tapered edge lets you soften the borders without switching brushes.

will this work on hooded eyes?

around 18% of community members mention having hooded or smaller eyes, and the majority of them find brush 02 well suited for their lid space. the compact brush head fits neatly on a limited mobile lid, giving precise placement without depositing color where you do not want it. some with very small lids note they would prefer an even smaller version for tighter detail work.

does brush 02 work well with shimmer and glitter eyeshadows?

community members widely use brush 02 for shimmer application, with roughly 40% calling it out specifically for packing shimmers onto the lid. it handles most shimmer, satin, and metallic formulas effectively. a small number of community members noted that very chunky glitters or extremely hard-pressed formulas may still work better applied with a fingertip.

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

brush 02 works with both powder and cream formulas. about 14% of community members specifically mention using it for cream or liquid eyeshadow, and feedback is consistently positive. the dense bristles spread cream products evenly across the lid without streaking. some community members also use it to blend out eyeshadow sticks and cream-to-powder formulas.

is brush 02 good for smudging eyeliner?

many community members use brush 02 to smudge pencil or gel eyeliner along the upper or lower lash line for a soft, smoky effect. the tapered edge gives enough precision to keep the smudge controlled, while the density buffs product out smoothly. it is a popular secondary use after standard eyeshadow application.
