Product Details+

brush 23 is the smallest pencil brush in the rephr lineup, featuring natural goat hair bristles bundled into a dense, tapered point. the compact brush head sits on a matte black handle that is shorter than standard full-length brushes. the ferrule is round, and the bristles come to a fine, rounded tip designed for pinpoint product placement.

Reviews+

roughly 90% of community members praise brush 23 for its unmatched precision and small size, calling it the tiniest pencil brush they own. about 68% highlight its softness, noting it feels gentle on the sensitive skin around the eyes. approximately 15% of community members mention they wish it were slightly firmer or denser for certain tasks. a small number of community members noted that the white bristles stain easily when used with dark products, and around 8% said they do not reach for it as often as expected because of its very specialized size.

Usage+

lining lower lash line with powder shadow (62%)
smudging or smoking out pencil or gel eyeliner (41%)
placing shimmer or highlight in the inner corner (28%)

Product FAQ+

can i use this to apply eyeshadow as eyeliner?

yes, this is one of the most popular ways community members use brush 23. about 41% describe using it to line the upper or lower lash line with powder shadow for a soft, diffused liner effect. the tapered tip lets you build intensity gradually without creating harsh lines.

will this work on hooded eyes?

community members with hooded eyes are among the most enthusiastic about brush 23. roughly 18% specifically mention hooded eyes in their feedback, noting that the small brush head fits into limited lid space and allows precise placement along the lash line without disturbing surrounding shadow.

how is this different from brush 03?

brush 23 is noticeably smaller than brush 03. community members who own both tend to use brush 03 for slightly broader pencil work and brush 23 for ultra-fine detail, tighter lining, and inner corner placement. many describe them as complementary rather than interchangeable.

can i use this for spot concealing?

around 12% of community members report using brush 23 for pinpoint concealing of blemishes, dark spots, and small imperfections. the fine tip lets you dab concealer precisely without disturbing surrounding makeup, making it a popular secondary use beyond eye work.

is it too small for everyday makeup?

most community members find it fits into their daily routine, especially for lower lash line shadow and inner corner highlight. however, about 8% say they reach for it less often than expected because of its very small size. if you prefer a single versatile pencil brush, brush 03 may be a better everyday pick.
