ANGLED SHADER BRUSH - 234

The 234 Angled Shader Brush is cut on a slant, which is what makes the crease easy: the angle follows the natural fold of the eye so colour sits where you put it. The fibres are dense, and MAKE UP FOR EVER rates the pay-off at moderate to high. The brand calls it simple enough for beginners and still a must-have for professionals.

What it actually does

• Places colour in the crease. The slanted head is designed to apply eyeshadow into the crease evenly, then blend it there.
• Even and consistent deposit. MAKE UP FOR EVER attributes an even, consistent application on the upper eyelid to this particular shape.
• Dense fibres, moderate to high pay-off. The density is what carries the pigment, so shades land strong rather than washed out.
• Easy to learn, kept by pros. The brand frames it as beginner-friendly and simultaneously a professional staple.
• Straight and wavy fibres. Recommended by the brand for loose and compact powders — loose and pressed eyeshadows specifically.
• Also a highlight brush. Per MAKE UP FOR EVER, the medium head puts light shades onto the brow bone easily, and runway artists use it to add luminosity to the face so it catches the light.

How to use

1. Let the angle find the crease. Rest the slanted edge against the fold of your eye and move it back and forth along that line — the shape does the placement.
2. Tap off first. Dense fibres pick up a lot; knock the excess off so the crease doesn't go too dark in one stroke.
3. Blend along the same path. Keep the angle in contact and soften upward with lighter pressure.
4. Flip it for highlight. Load a pale shade and press the angled head onto the brow bone, as the brand suggests.
5. Wash, reshape, dry flat. Clean with mild soap and pinch the slant back into shape before drying horizontally.

Questions

Do I need an angled brush if I already have a flat shader?

It depends what you struggle with. A flat shader is for the surface of the lid; the slant on this one is designed to sit in the crease and apply there evenly, which the brand describes as what makes the shape unique. If crease placement is the part that goes wrong for you, the angle is worth having.

Is it suitable if I'm new to eyeshadow?

MAKE UP FOR EVER says it is easy for beginners while still being a professional essential. The angle takes the guesswork out of where to put the colour; just be light-handed at first, since the dense fibres deposit at moderate to high strength.

Can I use cream shadow on it?

The brand's recommendation for this head is loose and pressed eyeshadow — loose and compact powders. For cream formulas, a shape the brand clears for creams will perform more as intended.
