    This is one of 3 of my all time favorite eye shadow brushes. I got this in a brush set / gift set. I don't know what the regular 217 looks like, but when this one blows out, I will be getting...

    I bought the 217 as a crease brush but give it five lippies as a concealer brush. This is phenomenal at putting on concealer, not so much at eyeshadow (for me). <br><br> It's marketed as an...

    it is good brush,dont get me wrong, it is just too big and fluffy for my lids. It blends well but it always turns a small smokey into a big smokey, maybe 226 is my blending brush.

    This is by far my favorite MAC eye brush! I can use it all by itself to do a variety of different colored eye makeup look. I love it even more for undereye concealers! It blends way better than the...

    MAC makes great brushes and this is another one that is a must-have. It's soft and doesn't scratch made of good quality. It can multi-purpose for the crease and applying eyeshadow. But it does...

    I want a backup of this brush just to horde it if it ever gets DC'd, knock on wood. It's HG for crease work. Great for application of pigments and loose minerals. The only pressed shadows I use...

    I cannot believe I bought other brushes before this one. I definitely prefer it to my other blending brushes. It's so much softer and doesn't scratch me at all when I'm blending. It blends to...

    I was told this was the brush to start with. I agree. Great multi-purpose brush to start your collection with.

    Great brush to have for eyes. Good for many different things. I can use it to apply wash, blend, crease, or highlight. And good quality, I havent experienced any shedding with this brush.

    This is a nice soft brush that's good for applying eye shadow to the crease. After using the 217, I use the 224 (black windshield wiper brush) to blend everything out. I was looking for a good...

    Great brush also for dipping in a shadow and lining the eyes. No need to smudge it's already done for you with this brush. You can go for light looks or for smokey eyed looks. Love it.

    This brush was the one recommended to me for blending shadows. I originally came in either thinking about the 224 or the 217, and this was the one I left with. On first washing, it was interesting...

    Holy cow, if you like your eyeshadow to look good, buy this brush. I was on the fence about getting it because I'd never seen it in person but when MAC had their FF sale I decided to go with it. It...

    I love this brush, It's a little pricey but if you go to a CCO, you should get a better deal. Its so multipurpose, I use it every single day.
