Product Details+

brush 36 features natural goat hair bristles in a dense, slanted dome shape often compared to a kitten paw or fingertip. the ferrule is angled with bristles graduating from short on one side to long on the other. it has a matte black handle that is shorter than traditional brush handles. the brush head is notably larger than most eye brushes, closer in footprint to a small concealer or complexion tool.

Reviews+

brush 36 is a clear community favorite for undereye concealer, with roughly 65% of community members using it primarily for that purpose. about 82% rate the softness and density positively, and the unique slanted shape is widely praised for fitting the contours around the eyes and nose. the most common concern, noted by approximately 18% of community members, is that the brush head is too large for smaller or hooded eyes when used for eyeshadow. a small number of community members noted the natural bristles can absorb more product than expected or feel slightly firm on sensitive undereye skin.

Usage+

blending undereye concealer (65%)
one-and-done eyeshadow wash over the lid (21%)
setting undereye area with powder (9%)

Product FAQ+

can i use this for cream eyeshadow on hooded eyes?

yes, and many community members with hooded eyes rely on brush 36 for exactly that. about 21% use it to sweep a single shade across the lid in one pass. the slanted tip nestles into the crease while the dome covers the mobile lid. community members with very small lid space sometimes find it a touch too large for multi-shade looks, but it works well for a quick wash of color.

will this work as a concealer brush or is it just for eyeshadow?

roughly 65% of community members use brush 36 as their primary concealer brush, and many say it has replaced every other concealer tool they own. the fingertip-like shape presses product into the skin similarly to using your finger, and it blends liquid and cream concealers around the undereye, nose, and chin with minimal strokes.

is this brush too big for small eyes?

about 18% of community members feel the brush head is larger than expected for eyeshadow use, especially on smaller or monolid eye shapes. many of those community members repurpose it for undereye concealer or powder setting, where the size becomes an advantage. if you have very limited lid space, brush 36 may work better as a concealer and powder tool than a detailed eyeshadow brush.

how do i use the slanted shape?

the short side of the bristles tucks into tight areas like the inner corner and along the nose bridge, while the longer dome side covers broader surfaces for blending. community members describe a patting or stamping motion to lay down product, then lightly sweeping to diffuse edges. you can also flip it so the dome side sits in the crease for a quick windshield-wiper blend on hooded lids.

does it work with both powder and cream products?

yes, community members use brush 36 with powder eyeshadows, cream shadows, liquid concealers, and setting powders. around 9% specifically use it to set their undereye area with loose or pressed powder. a small number of community members noted that natural bristles can absorb more liquid product than synthetic alternatives, so a light hand helps with thinner formulas.
