this is really great brush for my brows. the angled part is small enough to fill in brows without overdoing it. very precise, and the spooly is handy for blending in the brow shadow.it's small and does the job

I'm really surprised with the negative reviews of broken brushes because I've had mine for over 2 years. I have used and abused this brush consistently with no complaints. The hairs on the brush are beginning to separate now, but it has been 2 years and I haven't taken proper care of it.

It's a fantastic brush, despite the high price tag. I used it in combination with the Anastasia brow powder and the brush is so precise and perfect. The spooly on the end comes in so handy for perfecting your brows and is a great aid when you're trimming them up. It's a really great brush, I would totally re-buy & I definitely recommend.

I have bought this brush TWICE and they both broke within a few months. When I first got the brush with a set, I loved it but when it broke I figured maybe I just got a dud. I popped into Sephora and grabbed a new one, and the spool busted right off not more than two months later.

Not great quality ! Disappointing for sure

A great tool for applying eyebrow powder. The spooly end is nothing special, but the dual angled cut brush is a must to get a good result with the powder!

Insultingly cheap quality. It broke in half within barely a week of use.

Best brow brush out there! I put a little wax (different brand) on the spoolie end, work that into my brows, use the angle brush end to add color (different brand) to my fairer brow hairs, shape with the spoolie end, and I am good to go.
This brush is a must-have; I bought a duplicate for my travel make-up kit.

I love this little brush. Everything about it is perfect from the size to the density and type of bristles. I can't live without it. And yes, there is a difference. Ithold the right amount of brow powder and has a nice spread of the product.

I have tried other brushes to apply powder to my eyebrows, but this brush has real precision. The spooly end is perfect for coming through the brows. If I have put too much powder in my brows, I can just brush it out until it looks natural.

The spoolie is better than the brush.

The brush is coarse, stiff and the head is small. It makes you work hard and scratch your skin. It loses color on application because of the coarse hairs.

I have tested much better eye brow brushes and don't think this is worth the money. I expected more from Anastasia.

I will not buy or recommend.

This brush is quite crappy compared to other ones. Just purchased a brush from a makeup store brand (sort of Sephora) and i'm much happier with it.

The problem with this brush is that is way too rough, giving that plastic-bristles feeling. It scratches my eyebrows and is way too small, have to work it to obtain a nice effect...plus that is very expensive.

The brush i got is perfect. it is a bit larger than the Anastasia, and the bristles are very tightly packed yet just a little soft on the top. It doesn't flat on your brows and make the product smudge or something, is just gentle and picks up the perfect amount of product.

the Anastasia brush picks up too much product because the bristles are so harsh; combined with the very small surface, it always gets a bit messy, i basically have to blend out my eyebrows instead of filling them in.

i gave it two lippies because it is not a completely awful product, but compared with other brushes of the same type from cheaper brands, it is not worth the money. the only thing i can compare this with is the little plastic brush that comes with my H&M eyebrow powder palette- that one is completely made of plastic, scratches and has the same effect, picks up too much product that you have to hurt yourself to blend in. eew.

would never ever purchase this. I just tested it a couple of times at the counter and it was enough.

I got my eyebrows done using this method and I as I didn't have an eyebrow or spooly brush that I was happy with, thought I'd buy this.

Given you get two functions from this brush I guess it isn't as expensive as I first felt it was. I like that the dual end means that I don't have to worry about forgetting one of my brushes.

I think this brush is great for applying powder and then using the spooly brush to comb through, groom and make powder look more natural. I've not had too much luck with powder in the past, I've stuck to tinted brow gel (MAC mink) or occasionally pencil.

If having defined brows isn't a priority in your makeup routine you wouldn't need this, but for those people who do then you should definitely check this out.

my brows: very thick/coarse, unruly strands of hair, sparsely spread. one hair removed can result in a noticeable gap.


this is a FANTASTIC tool for brows. it's petite and practical.


the angled brush is very soft and dense yet firm; perfect for applying powder. my coarse brow hairs don't stop it from reaching my skin which is where I need it to be.


the spooly end is where the money is at. it is soft and flexible but it grabs every single strand of my brow hairs and puts them in place. it is far superior to a normal mascara spooly, toothbrush, etc.


I got mine in a tweezers anonymous kit I found at TJMaxx for $25. a lovely find indeed.

Got it off of eBay for really cheap. So far, I think its great. I use the angled end for applying powder/setting wax, and the other end for brushing hairs. Love the angle, and have no complaints. Not sure that I would pay full price for it though.

Really, one of the most important things for applying brow powder is a good brush-and this is a good brush.

The angled side can either be used to turn on the wide end and fill and and create shape, or the angled pointed end to fill in small areas. The spooly is great for touching up powder and out of place hairs.
Worth the money, and it lasts a long time.

EDIT: This brush is not worth the money, it broke in half within a few months. It does not last a long time.

This is a nice, high-quality brow brush. One end is one of those spooly tools, the other end is a soft, angled, sable makeup brush.
This is just right for applying Anastasia's Brow Powder Duos (which are excellent, and I have reviewed them separately), BUT if you already have a brush of comparable design and quality, there's really no need to buy this one as well.



The brush picks up the perfect amount of the soft powder in the Brow Duos if you just lightly touch it to the powder, and then use it to shape and define your brows with a light hand. Because the powder comes onto the bristles so easily, the key to a natural look with this application is a light touch.



I don't use this brush for any other purposes, and I don't really think there's much of a reason to try to make this a multi-tasker. It's not thin enough to work well as an angled eyeliner brush. I have used it (with the brow powder) to add a hint of shadow under my lower lashes for a tiny bit more definition, but that's about it.
This is a great tool, and if I lost it, I would consider buying it again, (or I might try a different brow brush ... I do love brushes) but with normal use, I expect it to last me a long long time and I'm in no rush to replace it.

I have the mini brush, #7, and I LOVE it! When I saw it, I just knew I had to have it. It's small (so it fits into my bag easily), has dual ends (eliminates the need for 2 brushes), is PINK (what girl doesn't love that?!) and it WORKS (the MOST important part :))! The bristles are stiff enough to give great lines/details, but soft enough to not look like a pencil applied the color. The spooley end is perfect to remove any excess color, leaving my brows looking not only perfect, but natural as well. The brush isn't cheap, $18 for the mini, but IMHO, worth every cent!

Great brush- delivers precise application of powder and is a good quality brush. would have been nice to have a cap for the spoolie side so it doesnt risk get crushed standing up in my brush organizer but otherwise no complaints!

This is by far the BEST angled brush I have ever used. The bristles are strong yet soft which is good for proper application. I also really like the spooly because it does a very good job of distributing the eyebrow powder across my eyebrows so that I don't get that "groucho marx" look (my eyebrows are naturally pretty dark and trying to fill in the sparse areas without good distribution is pretty tricky so sometimes my brows look unnatural) but this works great in avoiding that.

at first i loved this brush. the spooley is the perfect size for my brows and the angled brush is soft enough to apply powder naturally, yet stiff enough to apply it well. however, after having it only a few months, the brush has started to loosen from the wooden stick part. i just expected a little better quality. but other than that, it gets the job done.
