Got it on a MAC brush kit. It's kind of useless - MAC #266 or any other angled brush is much better. I just can't get a good line using this brush, so I never use it.

I have the 212SE which was part of a Winter07 kit. I don't care for this brush - it is too thick. I have tried going side to side and up and down and with no luck either way. The shadow seems to...

This brush gave me a nice line along my upper and lower lashline and it didnt split apart like some of the other reviews said it did.

I use this for tightlining - pushing eyeliner underneath the upper lashes. I have just read the other reviews and was surprised they weren't as keen as me. This leads me to think maybe I'm not...

I bought the this as part of a set. It didn't have the brush that I wanted to use on my paint pots so I had to use this. It is a surprisingly effective brush for applying paint pots. I don't use...

This product is def. pro and takes a pro to use. It's great if you have large eyes and want to do the tightlining. I can't imagine anything better. It's got the tightest bristles which is a must...

I pretty much agree with one of the reviews below - if you want to use this brush for tightlining then you better have ginormous eyeballs!! I really couldn't get this brush to tightline very well,...

I just got it yesterday. Tried it for a few times..at first I thought it was very difficult to use because it's a PRO brush...for lining upper line, it takes me lots of time to practice.. I also...

I bought this with the intention of tightlining with it... but once I tried it, I realized I needed eyes as big as Bambi's (the deer) in order to have any success with it. So, I was all set to...

I use this with Bobbi Brown gel eyeliners almost everyday. It is a definite HG. I use it to smudge the liner into my lashes from the top and from up under the lid, and then to draw a thicker line...

I have never used this blush to apply Fluidlines or any liquid eyeliner, but find that this works great with powder eyeliner. I hold the brush vertically (bristles pointed straight down) and apply...

I didn’t think I really needed another eyelining brush, but I thought hey, why the heck not? I am an eyelining addict, so what’s one more? I’ll tell you what one more is – one of the best make-up...

This is a brush for a pro, or someone who has a lot of time on their hands, AND someone with very steady hands. It is better for dry e/s, that you push on your lid to make a precise line. ...

This is a TERRIBLE brush. I cannot believe the SA at the MAC counter recommend that I use this for applying Fluidlines to my eye lids. It is impossible to draw a nice clean line that curves with...

This is the worst of all the big-name flat liner brushes I've purchased. The texture is coarse, and it loses its shape almost immediately. As with every other MAC liner brush I've tried, it's...

I finally found a brush that seems to work with my fluidline eye liner from Mac. I tried the 266 and it didn't give a nice thin line. I tried the 263 and it was too flimsy for the fluidline, but...
