MAC 252SE Short Handle Large Shader Brush Review

by Meghal Choudhary

Hey Girls,

Today I am reviewing my MAC 252SE Short Handle Large Shader Brush.It is available in 2 sizes a long handle and a short handle. I bought the short handle one, which is very travel-friendly and does not make much of a difference during application.

My experience with MAC 252SE Short Handle Large Shader Brush

A friend who saw me messing up a bit with my makeup recommended this brush. It is a square shaped brush. M.A.C recommends the brush be used as an eyeshadow brush but one brush can we used in multiple manners. It’s very comfortable to use finger during makeup but to even out some things brushed do a better job and even look better.

The 252 brush has very soft bristles with a rounded edge, which makes it easy to work on the crease of the eyelids. The dense synthetic fiber makes it useable for emollient-based products like liquids and creams, I use this brush to conceal my under eyes as I use the M.A.C liquid concealer. The flat brush is so smooth to blend the product with the brush with no effort at all. It gives a very blended and clean look.

The brush features birch, Linden and Ramin wood handle and nickel-plated brass ferrules pained in black. It gives a very sophisticated and elegant look. The bristles are in a pretty reddish brown color. I use it more to apply my concealer than anything else. I have been using it for very long. I keep cleaning it and the bristles are intact well.
