I only have my trusty Urban Decay brow/liner brush, and it's worked a treat.

I prefer Stila's 13 flatliner brush to tightline, and MAC 209 for anything thicker than that.

Right now I'm using 209 and it works really well (better than I had expected actually) but I have a 266 brush coming in the mail this week so I'm eager to try it with that!

Brush for fluidline as base

I know there have been lots of posts on which brushes to use as liners, but I also like to use my fluidline as a base. I have been using my finger, but it isn't as precise as I would like. I don't know which brush to use for a base. Would the 194 concealer brush work? I want one that can be cleaned immediately otherwise the hairs go all crunchy. Anyone have any recs?

I use the 242 with creamy products, and it works great.

I like the 209. The 266 I found harder to get a nice fine line and plus I'm just not a natural with an angle brush. The 209 is foolproof for me.

help with: APPLYING FLUIDLINE

Sorry I wasn't really sure where to post this.

Ok, so I just bought myself some Fluidline today in 'Blacktrack'... but I'm having trouble with applying it. I was going to ask the MA but I was in a hurry. I purchased the fluidline with the #266 brush and I was wondering if you guys could give me some tips on how to applying it like from where to begin applying it (the outer corner, innercorner, center, etc.) , and where to end it. I usually do the Cat-Eye look by the way. Thanks!

I just dip the brush in and carefully move it from the inner corner to the outer corner - it's pretty simple, since the Fluidlines are very smooth. For a cat eye, just drag it out some more and to the little tips. Hopefully that was somewhat helpful? =\

^thanks! that was helpful. i always thought you had to start from the outer corner. but that idea sounds more reasonable since when you end it always comes out pointier. anymore tips anyone?

Posting again, when applying to use like e/s base (or just plain e/s), I found the 242 quite good too.

If you want to apply a fluidline as if it were a paint/base, then absolutely yes. It was recommended to me by so many ladies for applying paints, so I thought hey, why shouldn't it work on fluidlines...
