My original 252 brush has served me well for YEARS but was in need of replacement. I decided to give this 242 a try. Viewing online, makes it difficult to gauge the true size, however I knew it was smaller than my 252. I was concerned it would take more time than I wanted to devote covering my large...

not the same as the natural brushes
While this brush may work well, it's not the same as the natural brush and I don't get the same nice line as I do with those older brushes. This one is fluffier and a little bigger... hoping I can find another one that works as well as the previous ones!

I have 3 of this brush. I use them to pack on eyeshadow on the eyelid, line shadow under my bottom lashes, and to highlight the inner corners of my eyes. Very versatile!

My original 252 brush has served me well for YEARS but was in need of replacement. I decided to give this 242 a try. Viewing online, makes it difficult to gauge the true size, however I knew it was smaller than my 252. I was concerned it would take more time than I wanted to devote covering my larger lid space. I was wrong. It picks up product well, whether it's shadow or pigment and applies it in a quick and easy fashion. Love this 242 brush!
