I really like this brush. It works really well and it a decent price. The only down side is that the hairs poke sometimes.

I really really like this brush. It blends makeup so well and it's so easy to work with. You can use this brush for many different things. It's stiff but easy enough to work with. I'd recommend...

This is the best brush ever (the 187 may be the 2nd best ever). This brush alone has singlehandedly transformed me from an inept beginner into a (self-professed) makeup master at doing a smokey...

A great brush, it's really good for both applying colour to the lid and blending out the crease! Great size too, I want to purchase another!

Adore this brush. Makes eyeshadow blending easy, it just does it for you. All you need to do is put your darker shade in the outer v, for example, swish this brush over your socket line a few...

I am putting in my two cents here because i use this for an entirely different purpose from most people. 1) A MAC MA used it on me as a concealer brush around the inner corner of the eyes and on...

A brilliant eye blending brush; well-deserving of its rave reviews. What can I say? - it just works!

After reading the reviews here, I decided to get myself one! Used it today, and I must say that it blends well. Like really nicely, and I am not a makeup artist, nor am I that good with makeup. I...

I too love mine...I think that this paired with the MAC 239 is a combo that cannot be beat in the application of eye MU! Have doubles of both! :)

This is my favourite brush of all time! It's so soft and fluffy and I can do my eyes with this one brush and use it for concealer! It's very multitasking. It makes highlighting a breeze, one sweep...

I actually have 2 of these and I use both almost every day. I use one to apply color in the crease and then I usually use a clean one to blend. If the colors are light enough I use the same one for...

My current 217 is my second, and not because the first wore out but because my cats took off with it while it was drying on the counter and I haven't seen it since. :/ I'd been without it for a...

This is a blending brush, it is very soft with longer bristles. It is VERY easy to soften out looks and before I bought my cream blush in Luna I used vanilla shadow and applied it with this brush....

I wouldn't get anything done properly without this brush. the only thing I could say is that I need another one that is slightly smaller. i'll have to go see if they make that.

$22.50 for one brush (17 cm). A good brush to use if you have some heavy duty blending to do. Not as soft as the 224, but that's because I think they were intended for different blending purposes.

Amazing blending brush. Don't know how on earth I walked around with un-blended makeup before thinking it looked good. This fits right into the crease, and can also be used for a subtle wash of...
