MAC 210 Precise Eyeliner Brush Review

 I have some pre-shampoo in my hair and while that soaks in and does its magic I figured I would knock out a post. Did you know that Coloured Raine is going out of business? They have a major sale on their website but I don't feel confident purchasing from a close out sale, especially since according to reddit posts they have taken forever and a day to ship out orders lately. Everything is only $2.50 though. I had the Safari palette on my list for forever but I never purchased it. I planned on getting it next year sometime  after I use up another couple of shadows but I guess that ship has sailed. 

Anyway...on to the the liner brush review.

MAC claims: 

The 210 Precise Eyeliner Brush is ideal for precision lining of the eye area or body detailing and design. It features an extra-fine tip and has smooth, synthetic fibers of just the right length and density for lining the eyes. M·A·C professional brushes are hand-sculpted and assembled using the finest quality materials. They feature wood handles and nickel-plated brass ferrules.

Made in France

I have two of these because it took forever and a day to get my first order and when I let MAC know they re-shipped my order. Excellent customer service. I should order from them more often. 

I don't have many liner brushes in my collection but I can say of the small amount I have, the MAC onnes are my favorite. The MAC 209 is perfect for a graphic liner. You have perfect control and the brush is not frayed at all.

This you can get a graphic liner but not as easy. It's so thin you have to thicken the line and I find I tend to completely mess it up when I am using such a small brush. I do have large eyes though...so I think if you want a smaller brush or have smaller eyes, this would be the brush for you. You get so much control...I just need less control and for the brush to do more of the work when I want something graphic.

I do really like this brush for a no liner look though! If I just need to add some definition to my lash line without it looking like a liner- I'm grabbing this! I can really get this so close the the lash line. It even works pretty well for lining the waterline.

I do have two of them and I have to say- they are completely different shapes. One is longer, and one is shorter. I would take a photo but I seem to have misplaced my second one. If I find and remember I'll take side-by-side photos of them. 

I wasn't sure I needed both the 210 and the 209...but they do have different purposes for me...so I'm glad to have them both in my collection.
