I can't believe I didn't buy this until last week. All these years using mediocre ones including equally or more expensive ones. This picks up and deposits the ideal amount of pigment in the exact...

The only eyeliner brush. Well, I use a non angle one for using powder shadow sometimes to effortlessly smudge into lashes as liner but this is a cat eye, gel liner in the pot must have. I do not...

MAC 263 is THE perfect brush for effortlessly creating any sort of eyeliner look, from natural to glam. I am fairly picky about which makeup brushes I use, as the right tools make a big difference...

Had to hunt this down but I found it! If you're looking for something thinner than the 266, this will give you that thinner more defined look. It's not too stiff or too flimsy like my previous...

My very first mac brush. After messing around with some cheap brushes over the past few years, I decided to invest in the real thing. This brush makes the cat eye or the boring work eye makeup easy...

I don't get the hype on this brush as an eyeliner brush. I went into MAC looking for an eyeliner brush and usually I use a pointy tipped brush but I am not an expert with application, but not bad....

The MAC 263 and 266 are very similar brushes, I own and like them both, I believe the main difference between the two is that the 263 is synthetic and the 266 is natural hair. I think the 263 is a...

This has replaced my 266 as my favourite eyebrow brush. It's thinner, slightly shorter and gives a far more precise line, which is essential when filling in your brows. The 263 and MUFE Aqua Brow...

This is like a 100x better than the 266 brush! I use the 263 for eyeliner and brows - I think I have 3 of this brush, because I use 2 every morning (one for liner, one for brows) so I dont have to...

A marvel of modern engineering! I am very good at doing my makeup but struggled neverthe less with getting that perfect winged liner with gel liner. One eye was predictable, the other never, so I...

Mac 263 is an angled brush for eyeliner and eyebrow drawing. I used to be using 266SE, and I had loved it so far, but since it was an SE (holiday version) so it shedded a bit after 2 years. I...

This brush and gel e/ls are a match made in heaven. I initially bought the 266, but found that way too scratchy. I've been using gel e/l for ages, but this brush changes everything. The 263 is soft...

This is a brilliant brush. It is ideal for lining with eyeshadow over eyeliner and is also great for applying highlighter to the browbone. I would repurchase. MAC doesn't often dissapoint.

The 266 was a pain to use because I kept poking my eyes with it. This is much softer, less firm (but not flimsy) and thinner. If the266 was to big, the 208 too small, this is the brush you need!...
