I use it for tightlining, works great! sometimes for "normal" lining but it's a bit stiff for that and I have senstive eyes. oh and I line my inner rim with that aswell, with a patting motion

so it is kind of like lining your wetline, but on the top?

212 Flat Definer This is a flat liner brush -- very firm with a thin edge. Many people find it easier to make a continuous line next to the lashes with a brush like this instead of a pointy liner. This brush is very much like the 263 or 266 angled lining brushes, but flat instead of angled. I don't think you need both styles, so figure out which seems more comfortable and useful to you.
