Ohhhh yes. I can't believe it took me so long to discover this. I'm your typical MUAer - one or two brushes just won't suffice, no matter how satisfactory the brushes might be - so when I was led...

I love this brush! The best thing about is its shape - because its sort of flattened, you can flip it over and use both sides for different colour applications. As for blending, its excellent and...

Honestly, I might be the only one to say this...but I found this brush a little overhyped! I bought it because of all of the RAVE reviews on MUA, but was left ultimately disappointed. I mean, it is...

I think that with most MAC brushes, you can find cheaper options that work just as well, but not so with the 217. I wouldn't normally spend $27 CA on a brush, but I made an exception for the 217...

I really love the 217 for blending out the crease or all over color on the lid.. It is amazing and I can not live with out this brush.

Dont spend your time/money on any other blending brush. This and the #224 are the best and most essential brushes anyone can own.

I don't normally freak out over products, but...um...this brush has changed my life. Seriously. I thought I was doing just fine with my EoB brushes from CVS, but I was so wrong. The 217 lets me...

This is an amazing brush and it truly makes a difference. Since I bought this, no lie every time I walk into MAC and Sephora, a MA compliments my eyeshadow and how I blended. This is worth the...

If I could only choose one brush, this would be the one. So many times I buy a brush and think that it's a new HG but a few months later after the hype, I never reach for it again. However this...

I love this brush. This has made my eye makeup application so much easier. I use it to apply color to my brow bone, to the crease and the outer V. Of course I use it to blend blend blend as I...

Great brush for blending (obviously), but it's great for make up application in a rush. I use this with one of my MAC quads and my eyes are ready to go in seriously less than a minute. My only...

This and MAC 187 are the only animal hair brushes I am willing to keep in my stash. I love 217 so much! It's perfect for a wash of shadow or for blending.
