266 Small Angle Brush
Product Details
Web ID: 106313Bring Back the Old Brushes
The synthetic brushes MAC is now selling are cheap, not soft, and don't work near as well as their prior makeup brushes. This brush is really rough on the delicate skin on my eyelid and kind of hurts to swipe across the lid. I am so disappointed that MAC has decided to switch to this cheap synthetic material, and I wish I could get a refund on this brush. Until MAC stops using this synthetic material, I will be purchasing other brands of makeup brushes.

replacement
I lost my original brush and bought this one. I had the original for a number of years. This is just not the same. Wish I had my old one back.

We're sorry to hear the 266 Synthetic Small Angle Brush didn't meet your expectations. Synthetic fibers may take a bit of getting used to, but they will stand the test of time as they are more resilient and resistant to breakage than natural hair and clean more easily since they have no porous cuticles. If you wish to return or exchange, please reach out to our Order Team via the Live Chat icon.
best liner brush
This is my holy grail brush for lining my eye with gel liner, this brush gives me that sharp defined cat eye look if I want to wing out my eyeliner. You guys need to get this brush!

Bring back the original 266
This brush is terrible! I had to replace my original 266 and found out that it was discontinued and was suggested the synthetic replacement. The first time I used it I immediately noticed a difference-it's horrible for trying to make a cat eye. Please bring the original back!

Synthetic brushes need to go!
I was disappointed with this brush, I was trying to replace my small angle brush that I lost; which was a small natural hair angle brush. I honestly thought this new synthetic brush would work just like my previous one, but I was wrong. I'm not even going to consider buying any of the other brushes. -Please, bring back the natural hair brushes! :(

I highly recommend this brush & purchaed it twice; just keep one for home and 1 for travel or backup. It's perfect for exactly THOSE fine lines and sometimes difficult areas to define when you want to make a statement when your hand is too tired from work or just plain not feeling well. This brush comes through every time. The handle isn't bulky and fits our hands like should. You need THIS brush! You won't regret it!

Cheap
I asked an associate on the online chat function for a recommendation for an angled eyeliner brush. After she recommended the 209, I had to remind her I wanted an ANGLED eyeliner brush. She then pointed me reluctantly to this brush. When I received it, the bristles were already frayed. There is no way that I would get a thin, targeted line with this brush. It's being returned ASAP. Such a cheap, cheap brush.

Lasted 8 years
Had 2 of these, finally threw one out after about 8 years because the paint came off the handle but the bristles were still perfect! Great for brows
