BENT EYELINER BRUSH - 260

The 260 Bent Eyeliner Brush solves the main problem with drawing liner: your own hand gets in the way. The neck is bent, so the head sits at an angle that keeps your wrist clear of your line of sight — which is why MAKE UP FOR EVER recommends it for beginners. The head itself is very small, built for working right into the inner corner.

What it actually does

• The bend does the work. Angling the neck is what makes application easier and more accurate, according to the brand — you can see what you're drawing.
• Beginner-friendly by design. MAKE UP FOR EVER names this as an ideal liner brush for people starting out.
• Gets into the corners. The very small head reaches the tightest parts of the inner eye and lays down exactly as much product as you want there.
• Draws a fine line at the lashes. Fine enough to sit tight against the lash line rather than above it.
• Straight fibres, wet formulas. Listed as a straight-fibre brush; the brand recommends cream and liquid textures.
• Also for the water line. MAKE UP FOR EVER notes the shape makes applying Aqua Black along the water line straightforward.

How to use

1. Load a little. Draw the brush through cream or liquid liner and wipe one side — too much product on a tiny head floods the line.
2. Let the bend sit flat. Hold the handle roughly parallel to your cheek; the angled neck puts the tip on the lash line without your knuckles blocking the mirror.
3. Work in short strokes. Build the line in small dashes from the inner corner outward instead of one long sweep.
4. Use the tip for the inner corner. The small head is what lets you fill the gap right at the edge of the eye.
5. Rinse immediately after use. Liquid and cream liners dry hard — clean the head before it stiffens, reshape the tip and dry flat.

Questions

Why would I choose a bent brush over a straight one?

Visibility and wrist angle. With a straight handle you end up twisting your hand to get the tip onto the lash line; the bent neck brings the head into position while your hand stays below your eye. The brand credits that bend specifically for making application precise and easy, and for being suited to beginners.

Can I use gel or powder liner on it?

MAKE UP FOR EVER recommends cream and liquid formulas for this brush, so that's where it will perform as intended. A tiny head like this doesn't hold much loose powder, so pressed shadow used as liner is better suited to a flat precision brush.

Is it safe on the water line?

The brand points to that use directly, citing easy application of Aqua Black along the water line. Only use a product formulated for the inner rim, keep the brush scrupulously clean, and don't share it.
