Product FAQ+−
can i do a full eye look with just this one brush?
yes, and that is one of the most common ways community members use brush 01. about 65% describe it as their one-and-done brush. the flat side packs color onto the lid, while the tapered tip blends into the crease and outer corner. many community members say they own multiples specifically because it handles every step of a simple eye look.
will this work on hooded eyes?
roughly 18% of community members specifically mention having hooded eyes, and the majority of them find brush 01 works well for placing and blending shadow with control. its mid-sized head fits into the crease without depositing color too broadly. a small number of community members with very small hooded lids noted they preferred a smaller brush for more precision.
does it work with cream eyeshadows or just powders?
community members consistently confirm brush 01 works with both powder and cream formulas. around 12% specifically call out strong performance with cream or liquid shadows. the natural goat hair picks up and distributes cream products without absorbing too much, though a few community members noted powder shadows feel slightly easier to work with.
how does this compare to the mac 217?
this is one of the most frequent comparisons community members make. the consensus is that brush 01 is softer, slightly more tapered, and performs as well or better than the original natural-hair mac 217. many community members switched to brush 01 after mac moved to synthetic bristles and describe it as a worthy successor.
can i use brush 01 for concealer or other non-eyeshadow tasks?
quite a few community members use brush 01 beyond eyeshadow. common alternative uses include blending under-eye concealer, setting powder under the eyes, applying highlighter, and even contouring the nose. the shape and density make it practical for precise work on smaller areas of the face.
