MAC Cosmetics 270S Mini Rounded Slant Makeup Brush

What it is: A concealer brush with synthetic fibers that applies, buffs out and blends creams and liquids.

What it does: Its round and slightly domed, slanted mini shape—paired with densely packed, luxuriously soft synthetic fibers—makes this brush ideal for applying, buffing out and blending concealer creams and liquids with a smooth, even finish. A mini version of the ever-popular 170S Brush (sold separately). Works especially well with MAC Studio Fix 24-Hour Smooth Wear Concealer (sold separately. MAC professional brushes are hand-sculpted and assembled using the finest quality materials. They feature wood handles with nickel-plated brass ferrules. The brush was expertly engineered with high-grade synthetic fibres that are resistant to breakage and non-porous fibers that are easy to clean.

How to use: Use brush in either a sweeping or stippling motion across the face for a smooth and polished finish. For daily care: Clean brushes using a soft cloth or a towel dampened with MAC Brush Cleanser (sold separately). Gently wipe brush head over the cloth until all makeup has been removed. For weekly care: Wash brushes using the brush cleanser and warm water. Wet the head, making sure the brush head is pointed downward to prevent water from seeping into the barrel, as you gently massage the fibres with your fingers—working toward the tip. Rinse well. Carefully squeeze excess water from the brush head, wipe on a soft towel and gently arrange fibres back into their original shape. Lay flat on a fresh towel and allow brush to dry naturally. Do not stand up or use until completely dry.

Pro tips: Proper care will maintain the integrity and quality of the bristles so they continue to deliver perfectly consistent results over time.
