Details & care

What it is: A synthetic-bristle eyelid brush ideal for applying eyeshadow and eyeliner.

What it does: The Eye Smudge Brush is great for applying color to add definition to the eye socket area, and can also be used to add color to more targeted areas such as along the socket line or even along the lashline. The expertly handcrafted brush colored in the brand's signature hues of rose gold and night crimson features a head that's been handmade by a master brushmaker in Europe. Its sustainable wood handle is ergonomically shaped and faceted so it won't roll off your vanity.

How to use: It's ideal for using to help you create the perfect smoky eye, or for building drama with layers of eyeshadow.

Kind of perfect

How is this new?! Anyway, I coveted this brush for months before I finally bought it. There’s just something about it, the brush stiffness, the length, the ferrule, the handle, that makes it kind of perfect for socket work. I have a slight hood, and this gets right in there. I’ve since found smaller brands that make good smudgers for much cheaper...but this one...I will never regret getting this.

Unsure!

I’m a makeup artist and bought this brush for my kit to smudge eyeliner as recommended by another makeup artist I know. This brush malts like crazy, doesn’t wash well and doesn’t smudge eyeliner in well at all:( gutted!

it is very fat and not precise at all.

Disappointed as the bristles are not very precise. I was looking for an under lash line brush to apply shadow with precision. This is very fat and round. I'll keep it because I've already used it, but I'm discovering that CT products, in general, are overpriced for what they deliver. Marketing and youtubers are making these products out to be "can't live without" but end result is that very are generic and underwhelming.

Must have brush - especially for cream eyeshadow

This is a stunner of a brush and well worth the price. I prefer to use it to apply my cream eyeshadows because it does it with such ease - while it works just as well with powder (to create the easiest smoky eye for example). It has several sides, some flatter for precision work, another fluffier for smoking things out and another for packing on the shadow on the lid. The bristles are of such quality that any side could do any of the above tasks, but the way it's divided makes it easier if you want that utmost precision. This brush is a gem!

Effortless Smoky Eyes

This brush makes creating a soft smoky eye feel almost foolproof and has become one of my favourite brushes. I use it to run shadow along the lash line for instant definition, then sweep it gently through the crease to add depth without any harsh edges. The bristles are beautifully soft yet dense enough to deposit colour exactly where you want it, making blending feel effortless and controlled. It sits so comfortably in the hand and the faceted handle is a surprisingly brilliant touch that stops it rolling off my dressing table mid makeup. Perfect for adding intensity while still keeping everything polished and wearable, it really elevates even the simplest eye look.

Great

Great brush for doing your makeup that you can purchase online. It is a small brush as it is an eye smudger so the recommended use is blending out eyeliner or eyeshadow under the eye. It works fab for that and I take good care of it washing it every so often
