MAC 259 brush question!

[pat]

Hello, I'm sorry if this is in the wrong post, but I couldn't find anything about this brush on previous forums.

So, I bought a 259 brush (d/c I believe), and I have NO IDEA what I can use this brush for. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I love them for applying paintpots or any eye base! hth

I use it for blending the crease and highlight area. I think it's also very good for focusing on building color in a certain area. It's my wonder brush lol it's like superman it pops up when I need it. Yesterday I used it to add eyeshadow under my eye to the eyeliner to give a bit more of a smoky look.

YouTube - #2 Part one what to do with these brushes?
I think at 4:45 she starts talking about how you can use it to pull the crease color out.

I use mine to apply paints and paint pots as a base to my lid

I use it for paint pots and also with pigments because the pigment adheres to the brush really nicely after using with a paint pot or mixing medium.

Aww mac discontinued that brush a while ago

I know you can still find it at CCO's and the gone but not forgotten number.

I used to use it for paints and paint pots until i bought another 217, but after 9 months of keeping in the drawer it unexpectedly broke in half and i just tossed it.

*edit* I also used this to apply my CCB's on my cheek to extend the life of my blushes!

Weird, the 259 brush is still available here in France!

I was visting my parents in Dana Point, Ca and I went to the Mission Viejo Mall and went to the MAC store and they had a few brushes that were long discontinued!

i bought...
- MAC 211
- MAC 259
- MAC 206
- MAC 223
- MAC 162
- MAC 162

so you never know what u will find. Also ask the m/a if they have any discontinued items.. and hopefully u will get lucky.

AS FOR USING THE 259--- i like to use it for applying color in the crease or contouring my nose and cheekbones
