Authentic Chanel Mini Makeup Brush Collection — Compact Replacement Brush, Brand New

These are the brushes Chanel uses at its own counters — the ones a makeup artist reaches for when they’re working on your face in-store — given away as a gift with purchase rather than sold.

The brushes. The flat CC brush has a fan of soft bristles on a square black handle with the embossed roundel — made for pressed powder and blush, and the one that fits inside a compact. The round CHANEL brush has a half-moon handle in black and gold and seats flush into a powder compact well. The slim angled brush comes capped, with a precise edge cut for lip colour or brows.

Replacing a lost compact brush. This is the obvious use. The little brush that comes seated in a Chanel blush, powder or highlighter compact is the first thing to disappear, and Chanel doesn’t sell them separately — which leaves you with a compact and nothing to apply it with. These are the same format and seat back into the well properly, so the compact works as it was meant to again. Worth checking your compact’s brush slot against the images before ordering, since the flat square and the round half-moon fit different housings.

Where else they get used. In a handbag, because a full-size brush doesn’t travel and fingers don’t blend. In a desk drawer for a six o’clock touch-up. In a car. Clipped into a travel makeup roll where every millimetre counts.

The capped angled brush is the one to take abroad — the cap means it survives a toiletry bag without splaying.

Priced per brush. Select your design at checkout. Whole set (6 brushes) is available for purchase as other. 

Condition
