Product FAQ+

can i use brush 36 for cream eyeshadow?

about 19% of community members use brush 36 for one-and-done cream or liquid eyeshadow looks, stamping color across the lid in a single pass. it works well for a quick wash of color, though community members with smaller lid space often find it a bit large for detailed shadow work. pairing it with a smaller blending brush can help refine the edges.

will this work on hooded eyes?

community members with hooded eyes are split on this. many love it for quickly packing shadow into the crease or sweeping a single color across the lid. however, roughly 20% find the brush head too large for precise placement on smaller hooded lids. those with less lid space often repurpose it as a concealer brush, where it performs well regardless of eye shape.

how do i use brush 36 for concealer?

most community members apply concealer by lightly stamping or patting brush 36 under the eye and around the nose, then gently sweeping to blend. the slanted shape lets you press into contours the way a fingertip would. about 72% of community members who use it for concealer say it delivers smooth, even coverage with minimal effort. a few recommend wiping excess product off the brush between uses for the smoothest results.

does brush 36 work with liquid and cream concealers?

community members report good results with both liquid and cream formulas, though around 68% prefer it with liquid concealers for the smoothest finish. a small number of community members noted that thicker pot or cream concealers can occasionally leave streaks or get absorbed into the natural bristles. tapping rather than swiping tends to give the most even application with denser formulas.

is brush 36 too big for under-eye use?

the brush head is larger than most traditional concealer brushes, which is intentional for faster blending. about 15% of community members with petite faces or small under-eye areas find it a bit wide for precise inner-corner work. the majority, however, say the size is a strength because it covers the under-eye in fewer strokes and mimics fingertip application. turning the brush to use the tapered tip can help with tighter areas.
