    This is probably the most informational, technical, educational and watchable makeup brush video I have ever watched on UA-cam - I didnt want it to ever end.
    And your technique in using these brushes is flawless and inspirational - subbed!

    I love doing eyeshadow liner so before watching this video I had order the 263 and first I was still a little unsure if it’s the right purchase but now after watching this video I have no doubt that it’s gonna be super useful and easy to use! Great video ♥️😇

    Thank you so much! I couldn't remember which angle brush I used to have for my brows. This was exactly what I needed!

    Thank you so much! I bought myself the 263 but when I was reviewing which brushes are best for eyebrows, a lot of people kept saying 208 was their holy grail. It made me question my decision but this video really reassured me that I made the right one for me

    It is so nice that you've criticized and analyzed each of them, it's awesome! :) During the video you told that 266 was creating a thicker line through the inner corners of the eye but when summarizing you suggested 266 as I was waiting for 263 to use for eyeliners, I got confused a bit. :) And as a last question do you have any gel eyeliner suggestions, I want to get a good one that stays on, easy to apply and not drying down in its container? Thanks a lot and greetings from Turkey!

    • @ArtByStephenB

      Ilgaz Şenel -Look no further than Maybelline gel liner in Blackest Black. It's waterproof, dries down completely matte, and extremely black.

    Thank yu, this helped me out a lot. I have been using liquid eye linear for the past year. Using it as a beginnerrrr. :/ but now that I feel like stepping it up in make up. I wanted to try the fluid liner from Mac. And was a little stuck between brushes. Thanks :)
