I've 2 brushes one for eyeshadow blending one for concealer. Mac brushes are expensive but are worth the spend. I have had my brushes for 5+ years and they still perform the same as when they were...

Great eye brush for beginners and those not so skilled with blending, like myself. I use the tips of this brush to blend and its belly to swipe on colour over a large area. Unlike the 239, this one...

This is a great blending brush, I also like using it as a concealer brush for under my eyes, because its very very fluffy, and super soft, it is also great for its intended purpose blending shadow,...

I like this brush quite a bit. In the am when I'm in a hurry, I pass by the 239 and use the 217 exclusively. It's quite a bit more versatile.

This is a great brush....but I just wasn't blown away by it. I have a hard time doing my outer v with this brush, and felt I wasn't able to control the brush as far as blending. I've been having...

bought this for eyeshadow, not sure i made a wise investment. it multi-tasks, so its good for blending concealer or foundation, as well as shadows, but it is very overpriced for a simple brush (imo...

So, this is my first ever MAC brush, and I am in L-O-V-E!!! LOL, anyways, so I needed a crease brush, and my Sonia Kashuk one just wasn't doing it, so I got the 217, and loves it. I didn't get the...

Love, love love this brush. Great size, bristles, shape. Places e/s evenly across lid and makes any eye look much more seamless. Mac has some pretty good brushes.

I guess I'm minority here because I didn't like 217 brush for eye shadow application. It's great quality brush, don't take me wrong, however, it diffused my eye shadows too much all over my lid...

This is a multi-functional brush, and it's very useful. The hairs are soft, too. You can use this for applying highlighter and in the crease. Use the side of the brush to pack on colour!

Love this brush. The bristles are so soft, and it's easy to get a nice bright wash of colour with this brush, and it blends like a dream. It is pricey, since I paid BDS $68 (US $34) for it. This...

I only have one 217... I want more! This is a great blending brush. I also like using it with my concealers (just make sure it's a clean one) and for highlight on the brow bone, it fits that space...

This is one of my everyday brushes. It's a great tool and a definite must-have! It's not made for applying colour though, but really does as a great job as a blending brush and remove any obvious...

I bought this brush a few years ago. I am not sure why, since I was not a brush fanatic at the time. I think the MA told me that she used it to apply a base to my eyes. Anyways, my dog (puppy at...

I love this brush. This was my second MAC brush purchase and I love this. Really for most people who arent MUA the 239 and this 217 brush are all you need for eyes. Contemplating buying a second one.
