    Absolutley the BEST brush I have to date! Use it with my undereye concealer and it helps with the whole 'less is more' application. Can't rave about it enough!

    This is a brush that I could not live without! It blends soooo well and so easily. I never load the brush, I only use it to blend color that I apply with another brush. Even when I have too...

    It's expensive, but so worth it. I love this brush, it really shows how badly my cheap drugstore brushes suck. It picks up eyeshadow well, applies it easily, and of course, blends amazingly well....

    This brush picks up lots of e/s so makes colors vibrant easily. I use it for applying e/s to my crease as well as blending the colors. i clean my brushes every week or every 2 weeks with my face...

    I've used cheaper brushes before but I will never use them again after using this blending brush! I use this to blend in my concealer, and with just a tiny amount on the brush, it blends evenly...

    Good brush for blending, although you must blend very lightly or it will wipe off too much color. Prefer the Raquel Welch 223 to this one. Have also used it to apply a wash in the crease or if...

    I went to the boards and asked for a rec for a good brush to blend my eyeshadow, and the nearly unanimous answer was the MAC 217. I have not been disappointed! This is a long-handled brush with...

    Yet another handy brush! This is very nice for appling color to whole lid as well as blending. I like it especially with pigments.

    I was very sceptical about if the MAC brushes are really all they are cracked up to be, but then I bought the 217 brush and had a play with it. It's amazing how much difference there is between...

    Well, this is a nice enough brush. But I have deep set eyes, and it doesn't hold a candle to my MAC 272 for all-around application, and it wasn't soft enough for me for blending. I prefer my...
