    I have quite a few MAC brushes but this has to be my absolutely fav. It distributes color so evenly and blends extremely well. I've had this for years and never seen it shed =)

    The makeup artist recommended this to me for one must have brush for the eyes. This brush is perfect for applying colors all over the lid, crease, and outer v. I like how wherever you place the...

    This is one of my all time fav brushes in my kit. I admit that I had issues with it splaying out hairs like others, and it seemed to lose quality, but I rectified that by conditioning it with the...

    Every girl should have this brush. It is a must have. It is great for blending in the crease, lid, and the "outer v". The best part is this brush is idiot proof and so soft. This brush is by far...

    I no longer use this brush for eyeshadows but instead, I am using it to apply concealer. When I first bought this brush, I could not figure out why I couldn't blend eyeshadow well with it. I...

    The quality of the bristles are poor for this brush. Right after washing them, I noticed the longer bristles started "spraying" out. I tried reshaping them but it's like the hairs would not stay...

    I love my 217 brush! It's the perfect blending brush. I agree with everyone the previous reviewer said. I also used to find the 224 as my favorite blending brush, but this one beats it. It applies...

    I thought the 224 was my HG blending brush but the 217 does a phenomenal job at blending, more so than the 224. The 224 is fluffier and has longer bristles that taper to a slightly pointed tip. ...
