This is a very useful brush. I regret waiting so long to purchase it. I bought probably 5 other MAC eye brushes prior to getting this one and this is one of the most versatile eye brushes I own. As...

HOLY CRAP. This brush is amazing. My crease has never looked so good! I can't imagine how I lived without it. This deposits the color so precisely into the crease when you use the "windshield...

This is a fabulous brush, where has it ben all my life? It is uber soft, though the raquel welch one might be softer. It does poke a bit at times, but not too harshly, and anyways, all is...

I absolutely LOVE this brush. This was my very first brush from MAC, but its not a "basic" brush at all...it's more of an "all-in-one" brush. You can add eyeshadow basically, and it does a...

If you could buy only one eyeshadow brush from MAC, this is the one to get. It blends! It shades! It applies concealer! It does powder or cream shadow! It brings you coffee in the morning and...

This is the best brush I have ever owned. I had the 224 brush for blending, but the 217 blends better, can do smaller areas and is also handy for small shading and washes of color. Very versatile....

White goat hair blending brush! Can be used for shading, but I find this too large to use as a shading brush. This is used exclusively for blending because it is so soft and blends perfectly!! :D...

The best eyeshadow brush I have. I asked the MA at MAC which brush would be good for both applying and blending shadows-- if I had to have one brush, which would it be? She recommended this one...

This brush is incredible. I've never seen a brush do such amazing things. It is sooo soft. It perfectly blends, doesn't displace your eyeshadow, and doesn't flick color all over the place. It is...

I don't know why I waited so long to buy this brush, it's awesome! It's soft enough to do a light wash or it can be used to pack on color. It also blends eyeshadow like a dream. I think this is...
