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 55% describe using it to line the upper or lower lash line with powder shadow for a soft, diffused liner effect. the small tapered head lets you build intensity gradually and keep the line thin, which community members say works especially well on hooded or small eyes.
will this work on hooded eyes?
roughly 20% of community members specifically mention having hooded eyes and say brush 23 is a standout for them. the compact head fits into limited lid space without displacing surrounding shadow. many note it lets them create thin lines and soft wings that larger pencil brushes cannot achieve on their eye shape.
how does brush 23 compare to brush 03?
community members frequently describe brush 23 as the smaller sibling of brush 03. it has a noticeably thinner, more tapered head, which makes it better suited for ultra-fine detail work like precise lining or inner corner placement. about 15% of community members own both and use brush 03 for slightly broader pencil work and brush 23 when maximum precision is needed.
can i use it for spot concealing?
around 12% of community members regularly use brush 23 for pinpoint concealing of blemishes, dark spots, and small imperfections. the pointed tip deposits just enough product to cover without spreading too far. several community members pair it with cream concealer and find it blends seamlessly on targeted areas.
is it too small for everyday makeup?
most community members find brush 23 earns a daily spot in their routine, especially for lash line shadow and inner corner highlights. however, about 8% noted they do not reach for it as often as expected because the size is more specialized than a general-purpose brush. if your routine already involves detail work or you have smaller eyes, it tends to become a staple quickly.
