    The shape of the brush makes its use versatile. As many have reported you can use this brush for more or less your whole eye makeup - but would you want to? Like some other reviewers I use this...

    If I was only allowed one brush for the rest of my life, it would definitely be this one. Although it is mainly a blending brush, I use it a lot for applying as well. Simply because I haven't found...

    I initially wasn't wild about this and thought it was just okay. I finally figured out how best to use it, however, and am now planning on buying another. I can do all my eyeshadow with this one...

    MAC 217 is a famous blending brush reputated for its easiness to blend. The bristles are really soft and the tip of the brush can just apply the eyeshadows precisely on the lid/ crease. And it...

    I think that too many people rave about how great this product is. Yes it does blend eye shadow colors together well and yes blends out harse edges, yes. But in my opinion that is about all it...

    This brush name should be Blending Heaven! I had heard a lot of good things about t but truly didn't expect it to be so good. It is really soft and it blends by itself with such little effort......

    It took me years to decide to fork out $37 for this! I mean, I was so hesitant... that's a LOT of money for a small brush. Do I regret it? ... UM NO! It's fantastic. It blends beautifully!...

    If you only buy one eyeshadow brush, make it the MAC 217. It picks up so much product and blends beautifully. The trick is to use a very light touch and blend in little circles. I have the Real...

    Unlike majority of the reviewers here, the brush did not work wonders for me. It applies powder shadows all over the place unevenly. I think this works better with cream shadows. Not a great brush...
