Prickly
-12.01.12
Quick Take: prickly, dense
I wanted to love this brush so bad. It's dense and picks up the right amount of eyeshadow, however, the bristles are so prickly on my eyelid. I washed the brush once with olive oil and baby shampoo hoping that it would soften the bristles a little but no such luck. I tried sweeping, patting, packing, all gently but it's so prickly it makes my eyes water every time I use it. Maybe I've got a "defective" one. Debating whether I should return.

Fluffy and versatile
-08.16.12
Quick Take: soft bristles
Is this brush expensive? Yeah. Is it great? Yeah.
This is my third Bobbi Brown brush (I also have the lip and eyeliner brushes), and it's by far my most beloved. I use it to build color on the lid, blend color in the crease, and apply highlights on the brow. Its strength is blending - it picks up enough pigment, but not too much.
It doesn't handle fine details very well (inner eye and eye line), but you can't have everything. Recommended.

I've had this brush for a year now and it is my go-to eyeshadow brush. It's so perfect for sweeping shadow across your lid. Perfect size, super soft - LOVE.

Best of my Eyeshadow Brushes
-04.23.12
Quick Take: soft bristles
I'm not an eye shadow person, I tend to use just one or two colors at a time, and this brush works great for that. The bristles are really soft and make blending very easy.

best eye brush!
-01.27.12
Quick Take: natural hair
If I could have ten of these (washing is a pain!) I would. This brush can do anything. It's shape lends itself well to creasework, smudging--whatever. It's my go to eye brush. It's created quite a few master piecies. This is a staple for anyone--and if you can only have one eye brush--this is it.

OK

Quick Take: synthetic hair
if you have small lids this brush is perfect for eyeshadow application, on that part of your eyes. I don't recommend this brush for big eyes like mine.

Quick Take: soft bristles
This was one of my first brushed from many many ( about 6 ) years ago. I still have the same one, it has lasted that long and is still in great condition. Very soft and reliable. A great investment!

Excellent brush...
-10.04.10
Quick Take: soft bristles, no shedding
Since I am such a makeup junkie I asked for the complete Bobbi Brown brush collection for my 25th wedding anniversary present and I’ve enjoyed it so much. The eye shadow brush is one of my favorites and one that I use every day. It has a small bristled head, but the bristles are fluffy and soft. This brush is the one I use to apply eyeshadow to the lower part of my lid. It’s especially good for getting close to the lashline and the inner corner of my eye. It works great for dabbing a luminizer shadow color at the outer edge of the inside corner or my eye beside the bridge of my nose. It’s compact enough to reach any part of the eye. The handle makes it easy to maneuver and to hold at any angle required to get to those hard to reach areas. It picks up shadow easily and because of the rounded bristles it deposits the eyeshadow without leaving a distinct line so it almost blends the shadow for me leaving me very little blending left to do. This brush does not shed at all. Being an excellent quality brush, it has held up through several cleanings with brush cleaner and some deeper cleanings with mild soap and water, too. I just let it air dry and it dries to its original shape looking brand new. I expect to get years of use out of this brush. It is a high quality brush that I would recommend to anyone interested in purchasing it.
