Following on from my Illamasqua Precision Brow Gel review I thought I'd share the perfect brush to use along side the gels and/or with any eye liner gel you may own. Illamasqua brushes are not something I am completely familiar with but what I have tried I have been nothing but impressed with. If like myself when it comes to eye brushes the finer the better this could be the best £19 you spend...
The Illamasqua Fine Eye Liner Brush is a long, weighted, blunt, square edged brush that features a fine natural fibre nib to create fine, precise lines. The intended use is for the eyes and gel liner which it is of course brilliant for - if like myself you have small, eyes with not a lot of lid space this is the perfect brush as it allows you to create minuscule lines should you wish. In the same vain if you have sparse eyebrows and want to mimic natural brow hairs using small strokes this is the brush for you. With the use of a brow gel you can use this brush to draw on individual hairs in sparse areas to shape and elongate the brows. The Illamasqua Fine Eye Liner Brush can also double up as a lip brush for those with thin lips that find a typical lip brush head a little to large to create the definition desired.
However you decide to use the Illamasqua Fine Eye Liner Brush the good news is that the brush hairs are super soft meaning they won't drag, pull or tug on even the most delicate of areas. The brush also holds gel and cream formula's really well and as the brush head is so small it is near impossible to overload on product. In my opinion it is very important that a brush washes well and holds it shape too, I won't pretend that the Illamasqua Fine Eye Liner Brush is the easiest to wash due to the small sizing but once clean the bristles remain in their original shape, no splaying, shedding nor change in texture.
At £19 Illamasqua Fine Eye Liner Brush is not the cheapest out there but it certainly is one of the best as well as being completely multi-functional.

I like this the looks of this! I think once you get the hang of any liner it's easy.

I feel I need to get a good brush for gel liners. I've never had luck with gel liner, but I've never owned a decent gel liner brush. This one sounds like a good purchase.

I use the Bobbi Brown eyeliner brush but this actually sounds better x

Looks like such a handy good brush! I also have really small eyes, and oily lids so its always a battle to find a liner that will draw a thin line and not budge!

This looks great, but the eyeliner brush doesn't seem to be as fine as it is....
