LES PINCEAUX DE CHANEL Retractable Dual-Ended Eye-Contouring Brush N°201

I have had this brush for about two years now and so I think I can give a pretty fair review of it. I do love it because it smudges my liner and gives the soft but defined effect I go for. However, the caps do not stay on and get worse everyday which is incredibly annoying.

This is a re-make of the Definer/Smudger brush Chanel put out several years ago. Same size, same design, same great quality. The differences: whereas the Definer/Smudger had natural brush bristles, this one has synthetic bristles. It's predecessor had soft semi-fluffy brush heads, this one has soft silky semi-firm brush heads.

I received this brush today. This brush is a remake of the previous model and is a new release for 2021. The bristles are synthetic and soft, yet are packed firm to provide definition. This dual-ended brush comes encased in metal with metal caps that close firmly. I find this brush picks up cream and powder eyeshadows beautifully and helps to effortlessly blur and smudge the color. No frustration application, in a gorgeous glossy black metal that you will love to display and travel with. I purchased this after purchasing the amazing 205 eyeliner brush. simply exceptional.

I am in the process of getting my possessions down to two suitcases, so I wanted make up brushes that would travel well, get the job done, and be of high enough quality to last. This (and the other retractable brush) fit the bill perfectly! I’ve had (and sold) some super high end brushes but these by Chanel are more than equal to the task. I truly enjoy using these high quality Chanel brushes, love the caps & retractability, and in my opinion, they lay down shadow colors seamlessly. Love this purchase & highly recommend!

These are so nice for keeping in my bag. Since I'm a little older, my main focus is on my eyes, and it's nice to be able to carry these and touch up my eyes throughout the day. The way it closes so the brush is protected is really nice too! My only complaint is that I bought both of these and I can't tell which of the 4 brushes I'm about to pop up. A toothpick and a couple of dots of color helped me do that, but it would be nice if they were somehow subtly marked, maybe just a couple raised dots around the rim so you don't have to go hunting for your brush. Either way, love both of these brushes I got, and all 4 sizes are useful!

I use the smallest side slightly wet to apply a thin amount of smudgy eye shadow under my eyes. Perfect size and works really well.

Nice brush just a little to soft for what I wanted. Wanted to apply concealer.

Great for travel or small handbags. Everything you need to apply eyeshadow.

love this new brush. Using it with creeme eye shadows and it works well. It's easy to travel with and easy to store with the covered brushes.

Is a must have. I have the old FASHION Chanel pouch with the nice ribbon. I have just added an unique brush to the collection.

I love the way both end retract and the brush ends are very soft made we’ll . When I smudged my eyeliner it was perfect . My favorite ❤️

I bought this brush for travel, when I don’t want to carry eye shadow brushes. The synthetic bristles pick up and deposit powder adequately. I got a good look with these brushes the other day. I don’t think this smudge brush is as good as my other ones (Trish McEvoy and Sephora - both models discontinued but excellent). I prefer a dense, flat, semi-soft smudge brush for shadow application (as opposed to blending). That said, I’ll keep this brush for my on-the-go makeup bag.
