This is a fanfreakingtastic brush. If I had to pick only one eye brush to use my entire life, this is it. It is good for highlighting, blending, using in the crease, and even on the lid. It may not...

This is THE crease brush to use. It blends really beautifully and does most of the work for you. Even if you don't spend a lot on cosmetics, I would recommend saving up to get this. And if...

I feel like the biggest bandwagon jumper, but I just love this brush to death. Absolutely worth the money, if you can spare the cash you should probably go get one.

A Godsend brush! I've been trying to hard to get the smoky eye look to no avail. You really need this brush to achieve a soft eyeshadow look whether you want to define your crease (softly) or...

I put off buying this brush and I wish I had not. This is a good all over blending brush. More precise then the 224 but not a a crease brush either-if you are looking for a precise line you need...

How did I ever live without this brush? It's amazing! I've come to realize lately that makeup is more than the color - it's technique, but it's also the brushes! This one does the BEST job of...

I FINALLY hopped on the 217 bandwagon, and am sooo happy I did! I didn't think I needed this brush b/c I rarely wear eyeshadows, and when I do, I figured my other drugstore/generic brushes were...

really, I do not understand why everybody is so crazy about this brush. Personally for me it is not ideal blending brush. For a couple of reasons. First. And the most important reason. IT IS TOO...

This is my first (and so far, only) expensive makeup brush. It works as advertised, and I use it whenever I wear eyeshadow. It is worth the price, as I have not used a cheaper brush that works as...

An essential brush. One of those things that, after acquiring, you wonder how you managed before w/o it. I use it to blend crease color & sometimes for dotting the inner corners. Also good for a...

Nice, soft, and dense. It blended all my shadows like a dream. One problem would be using too much colors with this brush. Using mac's black Carbon shade, the brush tends to keep it on itself for a...

As everyone says, this is a great blending brush and I use it whenever I apply eyeshadow. It makes defining the crease very easy, and it's also great for creating a smoky eye or winging eyeshadow...

I love my MAC 217 brush! It does a superb job at blending out my crease colors. The best part is that with the 217, it does not take much effort to blend out the colors. It practically does all the...

I like this. I truly do. It's the most multipurpose brush I own (but I don't own many brushes). If you want to start out with Mac brushes (like me!) get this, totally worth it. My only blip is that...
