The missing piece!

When I got the brush it was much smaller then I really expected but let me tell you, this little brush is a warrior!! It has served great purpose, hits all those hard to prefect places like the highlights to the brow bone, the inner corner eye and helps anyone look like a pro when doing a halo eye.....it really is a holy grail when it comes to applying eye makeup. You can find endless ways to use this brush "you didn't know you needed"!

Didn't know I needed it

This is the perfect little brush. It serves so many purposes. You don't really think you need it until you have it. I use it for inner corner highlight, brow bone highlight, and even for very precise color packing on the lid. It also works perfect for halo eye, for placing the color in the middle of the lid. I just love it!

Excellent Quality Brush

I bought this brush, to replace a Sephora Pro brush. I really like the fact that it allows me to do the detailed work of placing color in the outside corner of my eyes. And under my lower lashes. It's a soft brush and picks up the right amount of eyeshadow. I highly recommend this brush to anyone who needs a small brush to do detailed work on their eyes.

Amazing

I purchased this brush because I have a problem getting my lid colors to stick. This brush picks up the right amount of eyeshadow and is so soft. No scratchy feeling when blending. It's also perfect for that outer V, especially having such a small space on my lids to work with. I have washed it and no hairs have come out and the shape is like brand new. Worth every penny I paid for it and then some! Very happy with my brush.

Great detail brush

I am really enjoying using my new MAC 228 mini shader brush. I find it perfect for applying shadow to my lower lash line, and it also buffs the shadow. I have used it for outer "V" detailing, and it is the perfect size. The bristles are rather firm, so the brush is not overly soft. This brush seems to hold it's shape after washing ( I have only washed it twice since I haven't had it long). I highly recommend this brush to everyone who loves makeup.

Picks up the pigment like no other!

Really brings out the best in your eyeshadows/pigments!! I feel like I have brand new eyeshadow collection because this actually picks up the color. And like others said, it's really good for corners and such. My favorite is using this with the Sushi Flower eyeshadow.

Use This Brush For Everything!

This little brush is great, especially if you have smaller eyes or do a lot of work in the corners. I use this with both paint pots and eyeshadows. It's also great for a smoky eye look, as the brush head is very small, yet the bristles are stiff enough to smoke out any kind of liner.
