    Wish I had gotten this when I started to use cream eye shadows. I thought that my fingers were good enough but I was wrong. Some cream stick shadows pose a blending problem so I stopped using...

    This is a very nice eye brush with a whisper touch. The white tips of the bristles are synthetic (on top of black natural hair). I am able to use this with cream eyeshadows as well as powders. ...

    The sales lady at Mac suggested I get this and I thought she was just looking to get more commission but this brush is actually good. The duo fibers and long bristles lightly and evenly blends out...

    In my opinion this brush is very comparable to the 226 brush (this is now a LE brush, real shame Mac done this as it's fab) but the 286 does go one better in that it's great for depositing product...

    I use this brush for blending eyeshadow. It is good and bad. The 217 is an excellent blending brush, but I do use this one daily too. It blends shadows very quickly. This is my go-to blending...

    I always been a fan of 224 for concealer but I guess it just wasn't made for cream product so mine shed after one year of use, however I got the 286 and it didn't work as well as 224 for concealer!...

    I really love this brush and I always use it when I work with dark colors especially black. It doesn't pick up too much product but that's what I like about it. I use this for my dark crease colors...

    I don't like this for anything else than concealer - it's great with both the mineralize and pro longwear concealers :)

    I was an avid Sigma fan until I bought my first MAC brush (217) and then this one. I don't think they can really compare! It's very soft but firm at the same time, so it doesn't bend or splay too...

    I'm really glad I splurged on this brush. I don't have a duo fiber crease brush, so this really fills a void in my collection. I really love the shape - it's as long as the 222, but pointy like...
