Easy brush to use
-05.04.13
I have a hard time with eyeliner because I have bad eyes and only wear glasses. I can never see it perfectly when I am putting it on and it never looks right. That is until I got this brush the other day. I used a little water and put the brush in a dark eyecolor and applied as easy as it gets. The brush allowed me to get the line I needed without any issues.

My New Favorite Brush
-02.07.13
Quick Take: soft bristles, precise
This became my favorite in short order, I didn't expect that. I use this to apply the lightest shade onto the inner corners of my eye and on the bow of my lip. Works well under the bottome row of lashes as well- doesn't drop powder off onto delicate eye area. It's soft, precise and easy to clean.

Better than an angled brush
-10.29.12
Quick Take: a necessity
I was skeptical about how this brush could be better than an angled brush for applying gel eyeliner, but after reading some of the reviews I decided to buy it. And boy, am I glad I did! This is the next level of eyeliner brush - you can make a narrow or thick line, and everything in between. Do yourself a favor and get this brush! I'm ordering a second as my backup. You'll love it as much as I do. Laura does it again!!

okay brush
-09.20.12
I was not a fan of this eyeliner brush - I had little control over how thick or thin the line should be and it was never a straight line. It was not worth it for the price at all. I returned it and got the sephora eyeliner brush and it was much better!

Makes your gel liner work better
-08.10.12
Very best e/l brush. I thought my BB gel e/l was not working as I was using a slanted e/l brush from Studio Basics, $16. Well, it was not the gels, it was the brush! This is dense and saturates with the gel, and you do not have to make a smokey eye, you can make it think also. Highly recomment. Worth the price.

Super easy to use brush
-07.24.12
Quick Take: fabulous, easy to use, a must have for potted eyeliners
I've had no problems using this eyeliner brush. It's easy to control what kind of line I want on my eyes with it. When I use a potted eyeliner, this is the brush I use. I've washed it and no hairs fell out and it went back to it's original shape easily.

BEST brush for gel eyeliner
-07.21.12
Quick Take: perfect density
I thought my BB gel e/s was "bad" because it kept skipping gel along my upper lashline, but it is angled and from Studio Gear, about $16. Oh, this is much better. My gel e/l's are not skipping skin on the lashline anymore and I can finally wing out the liner. My line is a little thicker too. When gel e/l skips the best you get is a faint, thin line. I don't go to thick, but you could. This is worth every penny, do get if you use gel liner. I do think the cheaper brand was not dense enough, and the angle shape, while learning to eyeline, is good, it is not the best.

Nice brush
-04.20.11
This is a great multi use brush, as in it is great to create thin or thick lines. I dont really see it losing its shape as fast as some other eyeliner brushes i have owned either. I am glad I purchsed this!

Smoky Shading Brush
-01.28.11
Quick Take: synthetic hair
This brush works fine with gel liners but is better as a shading brush to blend shadow and liner to achieve the smoky eye. Quality is very good but I am giving 4 rather than 5 stars, as it takes some wiping of wet liner from the brush to achieve a "clean" line close to the lashline.

BEST Eyeliner BRUSH EVER!!!
-01.04.11
Thanks to the great reviews I read on here, I purchased this eyeliner brush and am so happy to be its owner now! I was a bit taken back by the price of the brush, and really wondered if it would be worth it, but I this brush definitely replaces all of my other eyeliner brushes for life!

I bought this for myself, and tonight ordered the LM Caviar eyeliner and the smokey eyeliner brush for both daughters. This is the only brush eyeliner addicts ever need. Please treat yourself before the supply runs out.

Perfect for Liquid Liner!
-11.30.10
Quick Take: soft bristles, stiff bristles, pointed end
I love this brush! I bought it to use with MAC's waterproof liquid liner, because the brush that came with it was not very stiff and I was getting it everywhere. This brush is perfect! I've never used the Laura Mercier brand before, but I will definitely go back to it. This brush has just enough give to the bristles that you can naturally follow your lash line, but is also stiff enough that I have plenty of control over where it goes. I also very much like the taper of the brush; I can make a thick line or a super thin line if needed. It's also great for pulling those perfect wing-lines out from the edge of your eye. The only thing I would change is to make the brush stem shorter, as I like to get as close to the mirror as possible, and the length of it makes this a little difficult. Overall though, it's everything I was looking for!
