MAC 266 Small Angle Brush

This brush is ok but not great. I much prefer the louise young LY31 for a natural hair angled brush because it is softer and higher quality for the same price. If you are looking for an angled brush for gel liner go with the synthetic MAC 263 instead of this one.

I use this brush with M·A·C Fluidline in Blacktrack and it's extremely versatile. I come from using pencils and have to say this brush is even easier to use than that! It's so precise that you can create a very small thin line or go for that dramatic look. I would highly recommend this brush to beginners and advanced makeup wearers. The only downside I've noticed is you have to clean it after every use or the brush hairs get really stiff but I just rub the brush on a cotton pad dabbed with eye makeup remover and it works perfect.

I like this brush for applying eyeliner; however, I do prefer for the smaller 208 for that. This one works great for applying brow powder products though.

This angled brush does what it needs to for me which is to apply bobbi brown gel eyeliner. However, when it arrived, the some of the bristles were already poking out in the wrong direction and the brush was generally a little bit "bent". But, it doesn't bother me too much because I press the brush into the gel on both sides to kind of glue the hairs together before applying to my eyelid. The brush is perfectly stiff for a precise line, but also gentle enough for the eye area. The brush itself isn't as thin as I thought it would so it makes a medium line for gel liner but you can use the "point" on the angle to make thinner lines which works well. I would recommend but maybe buy it in the store instead of ordering online to make sure the bristles aren't messed up.

Fabulous brush for applying wet liner or for using shadow as a liner. I've had this brush for over 10 years and it's still going strong.

Brush: Soft, perfect width, thickness, sturdy enough for powder/pomade/gel brow products yet great for lining eyes (shadow or gel). Handle is long, solid, easy to "handle". Love it! Will buy a second for each duty. Must be reasonably, wiped clean/cared for to maintain angle, bristles, softness.
