Product FAQ+−
can i use this to line my eyes with eyeshadow instead of eyeliner?
this is one of the most popular uses for brush 23. around 65% of community members report using it to apply powder eyeshadow as a soft, diffused liner on both upper and lower lash lines. the small tapered tip lets you build a thin, controlled line that looks more natural than pencil or liquid liner. you can also wet the brush or use a setting spray for a more intense, precise finish.
will this work on hooded eyes?
about 20% of community members specifically mention having hooded eyes and consider brush 23 a standout tool for their eye shape. the small brush head fits into limited lid space without displacing product, allowing precise placement along the lash line and outer corner. many say it is the only brush that lets them create a thin wing or defined lash line without taking up their entire lid.
how is this different from brush 03?
community members frequently compare the two. brush 23 is noticeably smaller and more tapered than brush 03, making it suited for finer detail work and thinner lines. many community members own both and use brush 03 for slightly broader blending and brush 23 for ultra-precise tasks like tight lining, inner corner highlights, or pinpoint concealing. about 15% say they pair the two brushes together in a single look.
can i use this for spot concealing?
around 12% of community members use brush 23 for pinpoint concealing of blemishes, dark spots, or small imperfections. the compact tip deposits just enough product to cover without looking cakey. community members recommend using it with cream concealer and then lightly blending outward for a seamless finish.
is this brush too small for everyday use?
most community members find brush 23 earns a daily spot in their routine, especially for lower lash line shadow and inner corner work. however, about 8% noted that it is smaller than they expected and felt it was too specialized for their makeup style. if you prefer bolder, more diffused eye looks, you may reach for a slightly larger pencil brush more often. for precise, detailed work it is hard to beat.
