This brush is a must have! I use it for applying an all over eyeshadow rather than a blending brush and it gives a perfect sheer wash of color. Run to your nearest MAC retailer and buy this brush!...

I must say I am every bit as in love with this brush as most people on here. I didn't believe the hype for many years about brushes being essential in achieving the 'look'. Look, just buy it!
