Product FAQ+−
can i use this for a soft, smudged eyeliner look?
yes, this is one of the most popular uses for brush 23. about 62% of community members use it to smudge pencil or gel liner, or to apply powder shadow as a diffused liner along the upper or lower lash line. the tapered tip gives enough control to keep the smudge close to the lashes without it spreading too far.
will this work on hooded eyes?
brush 23 is a favorite among community members with hooded eyes. roughly 15% specifically mention hooded lids, praising the small brush head for fitting into limited lid space. it allows precise placement of shadow or liner right at the lash line without taking up too much room or disturbing surrounding makeup.
can i use brush 23 for spot concealing?
around 12% of community members use brush 23 for pinpoint concealing of blemishes, dark spots, or small imperfections. the compact, tapered tip deposits just enough product to cover targeted areas without overloading the surrounding skin. many keep a second brush 23 dedicated to this purpose.
is this brush too small for everyday use?
for most community members, brush 23 fits naturally into daily routines, especially for lash line and inner corner work. however, about 8% find it too specialized or small for their everyday makeup style, reaching for it mainly for detailed or event looks. if you typically do minimal eye makeup, a slightly larger pencil brush may feel more versatile.
how does brush 23 pick up and apply shimmer shadows?
community members report that brush 23 picks up shimmer and glitter shadows well enough to place them precisely in the inner corner or along the lash line. for maximum payoff, some dampen the brush or use a setting spray before dipping into shimmer. a small number of community members noted needing to re-dip more than expected with certain powder formulas.
