Product FAQ+−
can i do a full eye look with just this one brush?
yes, and this is one of the most common ways community members use it. about 54% describe brush 01 as a true one-and-done tool. the wider flat side places color across the lid, while the narrower tapered edge lets you work into the crease and outer corner. many community members say they own multiples so they always have a clean one ready.
will this work on hooded eyes?
community members with hooded eyes frequently reach for brush 01. roughly 15% of all reviews specifically mention hooded eyes, and most of those are positive, praising the brush's ability to place shadow precisely above the crease. about 12% of community members with smaller lid space find it slightly large, so if your lids are very petite, a smaller companion brush may help with detail work.
does it work with cream eyeshadows or just powders?
brush 01 works with both. around 70% of community members use it primarily with powder shadows, but a notable portion report strong results with cream, liquid, and cream-to-powder formulas as well. some community members also use it to blend out concealer or apply highlighter. a small number noted powder formulas perform slightly better than very wet or stiff creams.
how does the flat shape affect how i use it?
the pinched ferrule gives brush 01 two usable orientations. turned wide, it sweeps color across the full lid quickly. turned on its narrow edge, it becomes more precise for crease definition or outer corner placement. about 40% of community members specifically call out this dual functionality as a reason they reach for it over rounder brushes.
is this a good first brush if i'm new to makeup?
community members consistently recommend brush 01 as a starting point. its shape is forgiving and intuitive, letting you place and blend without needing advanced technique. many community members who describe themselves as beginners say it made eyeshadow application feel approachable for the first time. if you want to start with one eye brush, this is the one the community reaches for most.
