MAC's 217 brush is my favorite for placing crease colors. It's extremely well constructed and has held up to daily use as well as constant quick-cleaning (with MAC brush cleanser) as well as...

This brush is the reason for my recent love affair with eyeshadow, smoky eyes can't be done easier without it! It builds colour where it needs to go and blends amazingly. It's a little exxy but...

This brush is very pricey, but I've been hearing such great things about it for so long so I decided to cave in about 6 months ago. It's really great. I use it to smoke out the outer corners of my...

Best blending brush I have ever used! I did not think that a blending brush was essential but I was SOO wrong! Before this I used a Stila brush that was fairly good but not as good as the MAC 217....

HG status here! Like the MAC 239, this is - in my opinion - an absolute staple in any makeup lover's kit. It's absolutely great to place and blend the color in the crease (I use the YT guru...

the best blending brush I've ever had. I tried #224 at first, but it's a little too fluffy for my small crease area. someone recommended this to me, I'm hooked since then. the brush is soft, dense...
