Which Brush to use with a paint pot?

[Sparklevixen81]

I'm sorry if this is an additional post, I did not find one like it.

I got a paint pot recently but I do not have a brush for it. The MA showed me a 242(i think) and it looked way too big to use with my petite eyes. Is there a smaller version of this? Is there a less expensive or different brand's brush to use with this product? thanks!

I use a concealer brush.

If you say that the 242 is big, then try the 231 (small shader brush)

I personally prefer "the talent brush" from BeneFit, I think it goes on very smooth and works GREAT with pain pots! I love it!

You can get some really cheap art brushes from an art store for just a dollar. They work just as well and are super cheap! Plus they come in loads of sizes, so you won't have to worry about not finding one for you!

yeah, i use a nylon concealer brush, too. mine are from the sonia kashuk brand at target. not very expensive, so i bought like 5 or 6 and i think they work pretty well.

I have to agree with Rocketqueen on this one! I use a large dome-shaped synthetic brush with gold-coloured bristles for my paintpots, I just swirl the brush in the pot and easily apply the colour. With a dome- shape, you can reach every corner of the eyelid, and the brushes are ridiculousely cheap too!

I use either a concealer or shader brush dampened slightly.

From MAC you can try 249 or 194

But really, any synthetic brush with firm bristles would do.

If the 242 is too big, try the 194 concealer brush or anything other brush that has firm/flattened bristles and is synthetic

I third the art store brushes. You dont' really need a great brush to apply base for the lids. If anything I use it to dot on my lids, then smooth it out with my fingers b/c the warmth helps it move better. I'll use the brush again if I've missed spots, esp. along the lashline and just below the brow.

#242! Or a firm small brush, the #231 sounds good (I haven't tried it).

i found that the 231 very small and hard to fill my lid area with. I tried the 242, it's softer than the 231 but it didn't give me the coverage i needed so i would definately reccomend you checking out the 249.

I like using the 242 or the 252. Either one applies the paint pots, concealers and paints beautifully.
