four on packaging cause i always have to put clear nail polish over the lettering and numbers so they dont rub off on the handle. BLENDING--keep this in mind and you'll be quite happy with it :)...

FYI this particular MAC brush comes in wider and slimmer versions - just a variation in its shape. If you have small eyes and were thinking of getting this brush for the crease then make sure you...

What to say about this brush? It's my absolute favourite brush of all time, and I own a couple of them. It's the brush I'd take to that metaphorical deserted island. If I'm in a rush I'll do my...

I'm not sure how I survived without this brush. I use it for blending but you can use it for your lids and for your brow bone too. I really think this brush is worth the money. If I could only have...

PROS: I ADORE this brush. It is a blending brush, but I also use it for application (I need a light, nonspecific touch cause I have heavy lids, so I like the outside line to be more vague and...

I love LOVE this brush. I have GFs who have 4-5 of these bad boys. They work so well and it's multi-functional. You can pat eye shadows on, blend and continue the color under your eye. If you don't...

This brush can make the difference whether your makeup looks good or bad. The size, the texture, and the softness just makes shadows blend and shape perfectly. It's great for other things beyond...
