Today, I messed around with my makeup brushes and tried out the Mac 210 brush. You know, that super skinny one that’s supposed to be the bomb for eyeliner? Well, let me tell you, it was a bit of a journey.
First off, I grabbed my Inglot gel liner. That stuff is thick, so I thought it would be a good match for such a precise brush. I dipped the 210 into the pot, got a tiny bit of product on the tip, and went in for the kill. Or, well, the wing.
- Started at the outer corner of my eye.
- Tried to drag it inwards.
It was… harder than it looked in those tutorials. The gel liner didn’t glide on as smoothly as I hoped. It was kind of patchy, and the 210, being so fine, needed a lot of dipping back into the pot. But hey, practice makes perfect, right?
I kept at it, slowly building up the line. It took a while, and I definitely had to clean up some wobbly bits with a cotton swab. My hand was not the steadiest, and that tiny brush showed every little tremor. I even tried to do a wing. Let’s just say it was more of a stubby triangle than a sharp wing. I guess I need some more time with that part of my application.
But here’s the thing: even though it was a struggle, I could see the potential. When I did manage to get a clean line, it was super precise. Like, “I could draw on a grain of rice” precise. So, I’m not giving up on the Mac 210. It’s definitely a tool that requires patience and a steady hand, but I think with enough practice, it could be a real game-changer for my eyeliner looks.
Key Takeaways
- The Mac 210 brush is super fine and precise.
- It takes some practice to get used to it.
- Gel liner might not be the easiest to work with using this brush, at least for a beginner.
- Need a steady hand for those sharp wings!
So, yeah, that was my little adventure with the Mac 210 today. It wasn’t perfect, but it was a good learning experience. I’ll keep practicing and let you guys know how it goes! Maybe one day I’ll be able to create those flawless winged liner looks that I see all over the internet. Until then, I’ll just keep winging it! Literally.
