    I can't believe I haven't reviewed this yet! This is one of the brushes I use absolutely everyday. It is my go-to brush for creases and blending, and even for wash applications & browbone...

    This is a nice brush but I was told it'd be great to use as a crease brush. I find that the bristles are too stiff to use in the crease so it ends up leaving a "line" of color and then I end up...

    The MAC #217 brush is delightful for blending shadows or pigments that I have already applied heavily with another brush like #239. <br><p> This brush is the best blending brush I have ever...

    The perfect textured brush for blending (especially my mistakes) eyeshadows into the crease and beyond. I sometimes apply pigments this way to my brow bone.

    I need 2 or 3 of this brush. I also feel bad when I get the pretty white hairs mukky with paint or dark from darker shadows. However I mostly use this for an all over wash with a light shade and...

    Wow, this really is the best brush. I have many other MAC brushes but didn't get this one until a few weeks ago. I hardly use any of the others anymore. Good for a wash, crease color and blending....

    I love this brush like everyone else. Best for blending, whisking in your crease color, and the absolute BEST brush to apply MAC PAINT! Put a little paint on the back of your hand, dip your...

    I was not an e/s brush girl- but now I am! A little frustrating in the beginning (too dark of a crease shadow that went on too dark w/ the brush.) But now I can see what a huge difference in...

    Wonderful and effortless brush to apply e/s with. The MAC MA used it to put swish on my lid and I had to have it. Great brush to apply bright colors. It is also does great for blending as well.

    I can't believe I ever put eyeshadow on without this brush. I used to use 213 to put on my shadow and a pencil or "crease" brush for my crease color... now I just use my 217 and I can't believe how...

    I cannot believe no one has mentioned this. My MAC MA sold this to me as a concealer brush for my undereyes, and it's amazing. I hate stiff concealer brushes, I cannot get any results from them. ...

    This brush blends eyeshadow beautifully. The bristles haven't fallen out yet (I've had it for about 2 months and washed it twice) but I'll give it some more time to see what happens.

    I use this brush more than any of the others. When I was in New York a couple years back an artist at the MAC store did my make-up. I just found the brush he used, this one, a few months ago.

    I honestly had no idea that brushes made such a huge difference! I'm totally floored by this brush. When I first looked at it, I didn't think much of it, looked very standard to me. But I gave...

    A great brush for blending or even using as a crease brush works much better then #224 crease brush.
