I LOVE this brush. I use it for applying a sheer layering of color all over my lid, and of course blending together harsh lines and colors. I FIRST got a set of eye brushes and this was one of...

I DON'T KNOW HOW I SURVIVED THE LAST 10 YEARS WITHOUT THIS. I'm about to run out tomorrow and buy a 2nd one for backup. This makes creating the smokey effect so much easier than what I've been...

I love this brush, but I'm not in "love" with it. Does that makes sense? It's a very versatile brush & there's no other brush like it. It's soft & great for blending. My only problem with it is...

Best MAC makeup brush! It is a must for your eyes! It picks up just enough eyeshadow with a few taps. I can use it for smudging or for a smokey look, highlighting! I actually have TWO of...

This brush is OK, but why it's not so soft as other Mac brushes? Is it supposed to be like that and why?
