Oooh I am going to get this brush ASAP! I found that smaller denser brushes like the 242 do a better job of applying eyeshadow IMO. I feel like I have more control with these types of brushes in applying colors. Lets me utilize my artistic abilities! lol

Awesome, Nicole! Yeah, the brush series is not just meant to highlight MAC brushes, but more about the different uses of brushes in general, because there are definitely dupes and cheaper alternatives to MAC. MAC is just what I have

I have this and love it. I have a huge eyelid space, and often I don’t like having the crease color all the way up below the brow bone, especially if I want the everyday, natural look. I use this brush to place a little V on the crease and blend it with #217 or #226

Don’t own this particular brush but again a dupe similar. It’s from Bare Escentuals & i got in an e/s kit. Think it’s called their “tapered eyeshadow” brush. It’s not tapered in the way i would consider a tapered brush to appear but has the qualities of this mini shader in that it’s flat & dome-shaped. It’s great for detailed work. I’ve used it in conjunction w/ my angle brush to cut my crease, sometimes to apply color to just my inner third of lid & like you said to line my lower lash line. Helpful tool to have in your collection.
