Product FAQ+

can i use brush 28 with cream eyeshadow sticks and pots?

yes. about 34% of community members use brush 28 specifically for cream and liquid eyeshadows. it picks up product from pots and sticks and distributes it evenly across the lid. many note it blends edges well enough that a second brush is often unnecessary.

will this work on hooded eyes?

brush 28 is a favorite among community members with hooded or smaller eyes, with roughly 18% calling it out by name for that purpose. the compact bristle head fits into limited lid space and allows precise placement without spreading color into the crease.

how does brush 28 compare to brush 21 or brush 02?

community members often describe brush 28 as slightly fluffier than brush 21 and narrower than brush 02. many prefer brush 28 for cream and shimmer textures specifically, while brush 02 is seen as a broader all-purpose shader. some own both and alternate depending on the look.

do i still need to use my finger for shimmer shadows?

about 8% of community members say they still prefer finger application for maximum shimmer intensity. however, the majority find brush 28 gets close to finger-level payoff with better precision and less mess, especially for targeted areas like the inner corner or center lid.

what else can i use brush 28 for besides eyeshadow?

community members report using brush 28 for spot concealing, applying eye primer, smudging pencil liner, lower lash line work, and even as a lip brush. its compact flat shape makes it a surprisingly versatile tool beyond lid color application.
