BRUSH 01

$22

a luxurious multi-purpose eyeshadow brush designed for effortless shading and blending. this brush works equally well with powder and cream products and is also capable of spot concealing and detail highlighting.

the 01 is our flagship eye brush that's been carefully calibrated to work for all eye shapes, including hooded eyes and monolids.

handcrafted in Kumano, Japan by master artisans using uncut natural hair.

bristle length: 16mm

Product Details+
brush 01 features a pinched, slightly flat ferrule with natural uncut goat hair bristles in white. the paddle-like head creates an oval profile, wider on one axis and narrower when rotated. handle is lightweight matte black plastic. overall length is shorter than many traditional eye brushes.
Reviews+
roughly 90% of community members praise brush 01 for its versatility, frequently calling it the only eye brush they need. softness and blending ability are the two most cited strengths, with about 85% highlighting how easily it diffuses powder eyeshadow. approximately 68% of community members describe it as a true multitasker for packing, shading, and blending. around 12% note the brush is a bit large for smaller or hooded eyes, and a small number of community members noted bristle splaying after washing.
Usage+
  • blending transition shades in the crease (72%)
  • packing color on the lid for one-and-done looks (58%)
  • applying and diffusing shadow in the outer corner (41%)
Product FAQ+

can i do a full eye look with just this one brush?

about 58% of community members say they regularly complete an entire eye look using only brush 01. the pinched shape lets you pack color with the flat side and blend with the tip or broader edge. many note it handles transition shades, lid color, and outer corner work without switching brushes.

will this work on hooded eyes?

a large portion of community members with hooded eyes reach for brush 01 daily and find the size well suited for crease work. around 12% with smaller or heavily hooded lids feel it runs a bit large and prefer pairing it with a smaller brush for detail work. turning it on its narrow side can help with more precise placement.

does it work with cream eyeshadows or just powders?

community members confirm brush 01 works with both powder and cream formulas. about 85% use it primarily with powder shadows, but many report smooth results with cream-to-powder and liquid shadow formulas as well. a small number of community members noted powder shadows perform slightly better than very stiff cream textures.

how does it compare to the mac 217?

community members frequently compare brush 01 to the original natural-hair mac 217, with many calling it a direct successor. the consensus is that brush 01 is softer, slightly more tapered, and picks up pigment more efficiently. several community members who switched after mac moved to synthetic bristles say they prefer brush 01.

what is the best way to use the shape for blending?

community members recommend using the wider, flat side to sweep color across the lid and the narrower edge or tapered tip for crease definition and outer corner detail. rotating the brush mid-application lets you shift between packing and diffusing without reaching for a second tool. light pressure with the tip gives a soft, blown-out finish in the crease.
