    I am probably one of the few that took their time purchasing this one. It cost too much; does it really make a difference; a brush is a brush...and so on. I was at the Mac counter and just had to...

    I cannot believe I held out on this brush for so long. There is no brush like this out there (at least in my opinion). You could do everything you needed to do for eyeshadow application with this...

    This is one of the MAC brushes that really, REALLY lives up to the hype for this brand. A lot of MAC brushes are dupe-able but not this one. This one is really special and well made and I haven't...

    I CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT THIS BRUSH. BLENDS THE HARSH EYESHADOWS WITHOUT MUCH EFFORT! I have the essence of beauty blending brush as well, but this mac brush works 100x better than the ebb.

    Absolutely a must have!!! It's so versatile and can be used to apply or blend eyeshadows. It's really worth the price because of the quality and because of how good it makes your eyes look!

    When I first started out buying MAC brushes, I did my research and found this one (and the 239) to be the most recommended brush. I asked a makeup artist to recommend me one e/s brush if I could...

    Like everyone else, this works miracles for blending. It is worth every penny. It hasn't shed, the bristles are soft, does it's job, picks up product, distributes it well...I couldn't ask for more.

    I was thrilled CCO had this since retail price is kinda high. This is a decent brush- it's very soft and isn't stubby at all so you're not going to get any harsh lines with it. I use it for it's...
