As a makeup lover always on the hunt for tools to perfect my base, I was intrigued when I heard buzz about the MAC 270 Synthetic Mini Rounded Slant Brush. This compact, angled brush is designed for precise concealer application and blending in small areas like under the eyes. I dug into dozens of customer reviews and couldn’t wait to test it out myself.
The first thing that stood out from customer feedback? Rave reviews about how this brush seamlessly blends liquid and cream concealers without streaking. One customer gushed, “It blends so beautifully, it really made my life easier.” Another said, “This brush applies my concealer under the eye seamlessly. It has become a part of my makeup routine.” Reviewers also praised the brush’s synthetic bristles, describing them as “soft and gentle on my skin yet they blend very well.
Many appreciated the angled shape and compact size for targeting small areas. “It really gets into the creases under your eye,” one reviewer noted. Another said, “It’s the perfect shape and size for small areas where you typically experience creasing.”
However, a few reviewers felt the brush was still a touch too large for their needs: “I wish it was a little smaller to fit in the inner corner of my eye easier.” And one found swiping motions moved the product around too much, advising, “You have to use patting motions with it.
Trying the brush for myself, I was impressed with how effortlessly it blended my go-to liquid concealer under my eyes. The slanted shape hugged the contours of my face, and the densely-packed bristles diffused the product without any harsh lines. It worked best with patting and short strokes – swiping did sheer things out quickly. While the size was great for my undereye area, it was a bit large for detail work around my nose.
After several weeks of use, I agree with the many customers who found this brush a game-changer for their concealer routine. If you’re looking for an easy-to-use tool to amp up your base, the MAC 270 Synthetic Mini Rounded Slant Brush is definitely worth a try. It blends liquid and cream formulas beautifully and the angled shape is great for targeted application. The size is best suited for the undereye area and may be too large for smaller spots – so if you need a true micro brush, this may not be your perfect match.
But for concealing dark circles and creating a flawless canvas, this brush gets the job done. At $24, it’s an investment, but the quality is top-notch and it delivers results. I suspect this will become a staple in my makeup bag for a long time to come.
