The only brush I now use for daily shadow application...picks up the perfect amount of all-over color, lid color, and highlight. Evening/weekend looks require a little more precision, but this...

I love this brush. I use it for everything: applying e/s to the lid, applying e/s to the crease, and then blending it all together. And it's super-soft!

This brush is amazinggggggggggggg. It is soo much better than my Sephora crease brush because the 217 gives more control and it so much easier to blend. I love it.
