EF1 Dual-Ended Cream & Powder Brush

The MAKEUP BY MARIO EF1 Dual-Ended Cream & Powder Brush puts two heads on one short handle: a flat, soft paddle at one end and a fluffy dome at the other. One places product, the other diffuses it — so a step that normally needs two brushes becomes a flip of the wrist.

Works with	All formulas — cream and powder
Coverage	Buildable
Handle length	2.55 inches — short, travel-friendly
Bristles	Synthetic — cruelty-free, vegan fibre blend

What it actually does

• Places product precisely. The flat, soft side is built for putting cream formulas and shadows down on a specific spot rather than over a whole area.
• Softens it on the other end. Flip the handle and the fluffy hairs take over the setting, blending and diffusing — the two jobs that usually cost you a second brush.
• Covers eyes and face both. MAKEUP BY MARIO positions it for targeted areas across the eyes and the face, so it is not strictly an eye tool despite the small scale.
• Buildable by design. Coverage is rated buildable, which suits concealer work where you want to add in thin passes rather than one heavy layer.
• Short handle, small bag. At 2.55 inches it fits in a makeup bag or pocket far more easily than a full-length brush — and it replaces two of them.
• Vegan fibres, certified wood. The brand states its brushes use a custom synthetic and vegan fibre blend on fully FSC-certified birchwood handles, and that this product is cruelty-free.

How to use

1. Start with the flat end. Use it to lay concealer or primer exactly where you need it — inner corner, a blemish, the lid.
2. Turn it over to finish. The fluffy end sets, blends and blurs the edge of whatever you just placed.
3. Cut a crease with the flat side. The paddle shape gives you a clean line above the lid.
4. Shape brows with the same end. MAKEUP BY MARIO suggests the flat tip for tidying and shaping the eyebrow.
5. Wash it in two halves. Rinse each head separately so cream product from one end doesn't travel into the other.

Questions

Which end does what?

The soft flat head puts cream formulas and shadows down on a specific area. The fluffy head on the opposite end sets, blends and diffuses. The flat end also handles cut creases and brow shaping.

Is it only for eyes?

No — MAKEUP BY MARIO positions it for targeted zones on both the eyes and the face. The flat end is recommended for concealer and primer, not just shadow.

Can I use it with powder as well as cream?

Yes. It is rated for all formulas, and the fluffy end is specifically intended for setting — which is a powder job.

How short is the handle, really?

2.55 inches in total, which is roughly the length of a thumb. It is held between the fingers rather than at arm's length, and it travels well.
