If I could only have one brush for the rest of my life to do my makeup with this would be it. I have this habit of forcing myself to think in extremes when it comes to reviewing the quality of my...

If you want to buy a brush for eyeshadow I suggest to check out the 217 by Mac. You can use this brush for EVERYTHING! You can use it for all over lid color, crease color, blending and even for...

This brush has stellar reviews for a reason, it's the best! The bristles are soft, dense and do not shed. I love the way it blends color beautifully on the lid. If this brush didn't cost so much...

This is an essential blending brush. Even though I have small eyes, this deposits color more precise than other blending brushes I've tried. It gets into the crease without putting too much color...

Sorry to be the bringer of bad news but I truly think this brush is overrated. It's soft, that's for sure but it is not dense enough for precise product placement. I find I reach for this more to...

If i had to choose just one brush to do my whole make up it would be the 217 brush. It's the perfect blending brush and the only brush i haven't found a good dupe for. It is pricey, but it is worth...

1) This is a blending brush so obviously it's great for crease work. It's practically my magic brush when I'm feeling lazy. It helps me create a lovely seamless crease colour blended very nicely...

The Mac 217 Brush just doesn't hold up well after washing as other Mac Brushes do... Once washed, the brush transforms, and the hairs spread, fray, frizz, and bend out of shape (even with brush...

Of course MAC brushes never disappoint although they are a little pricey. But this particular brush is very versatile and worth the money ($22.50 in the US)! It is considered to be a blending...
