Product FAQ+

can i use this to line my eyes with powder eyeshadow?

yes, this is one of the most popular ways community members use brush 23. about 52% report using it to apply powder eyeshadow as a soft, diffused eyeliner on both upper and lower lash lines. the small tapered tip lets you build a thin, controlled line right at the base of the lashes.

will this work on hooded or small eyes?

brush 23 is a favorite among community members with hooded, deep-set, or small eyes. roughly 20% specifically mention having these eye shapes and say the compact brush head fits into limited lid space where larger brushes cannot reach. it allows for precise placement without disturbing surrounding shadow.

can i use this for spot concealing?

around 10% of community members use brush 23 for pinpoint concealing on blemishes, dark spots, or small areas of hyperpigmentation. the fine tip deposits just enough product to cover without looking cakey, and several community members keep a dedicated brush 23 for this purpose.

how does this compare to brush 03?

community members who own both describe brush 23 as noticeably smaller and more precise than brush 03. brush 23 is preferred when you want a thinner, more detailed line or need to work in very tight spaces like the inner corner. brush 03 tends to be the pick for slightly broader blending or when more product coverage is needed.

what products does it work with?

community members use brush 23 with powder eyeshadows, cream shadows, gel and pencil eyeliners, and cream concealers. it performs well both dry and dampened with setting spray for more intense color payoff. a small number of community members noted that natural hair bristles work best with powder formulas and may absorb some product with very wet or liquid textures.
