    This brush changed my eyeliner game. Before this, I used MAC's 210 and 212 and had terrible results. I swear I was almost ready to give up, and even gave one eyeliner away to a friend thinking I...

    This is my favourite mac brush EVER! It's so unassuming when you see it yet so versatile and useful. You can use it for lips, for liner for shading the inner and outer corners of the eyes and even...

    This brush is so underrated. If you are looking for a smaller brush for detailed work, then this is the brush for you. It's multipurpose, so you can use it for almost anything. I use the 231 for...

    I was never able to apply gel eyeliner until I purchased the 231 brush. Amazing. Really. Now I can enjoy the staying power of gel eyeliner - a big deal if you have super oily eyelids like me. ...

    The 231 is the best brush I've found for tightlining & regular lining with a gel liner. I originally doubted that it could do a better job than my 266, but despite having what seems like an...

    This brush looks like a really cool brush when you first see it, but having had it for a while now I'm finally ready to admit that it's a huge let down. The only reason I'm giving this a 3 instead...

    This is my favorite MAC brush, hands down! It's probably the most multi functional brush from MAC, as well. I mainly use it to apply gel liner. And if you're a gel liner fan, get this brush...

    I use the 231 for my Studio Finish concealer and it works great. It picks up and applies just enough product without it being cakey or overdone. It's easy to clean, and holds up great to washings,...
