    This is a magic wand for $20. It is a treasure and it does create magic because it alone can give you pro results - I'm talking cover of Vogue - in a fraction of the time it would normally take. ...

    I'm rather surprised to see this brush earns a relatively low rating here. This is one of the best brushes for applying e/s which I come across. It gives very precise application and also intense...

    I bought this brush randomly at Duty Free a while ago and have been using it as a crease brush. Having read the other reviews, it seems that that's not quite the purpose it was made for, but I...

    I really love this brush a lot. I was looking for a small brush to use in the inner corner of the eyelid, and luckely i found this one. I like that its not a complete flat brush, but that is has...

    I like this brush a lot! It's one of MAC's lesser known brushes but it needs more attention! I was looking for a small shadow brush to apply black shadow as an eyeliner and all the ones I had were...

    You know, this brush sat completely ignored in the vase for a couple years. I think in that time I use it maybe once or twice. Then one day, I thought Id use it as a lid brush (I prefer to pat on...

    This is a great brush for apply highlighter colour to inner corner of the eyes, which what I use it for. It's good for apply dark eyeshadow at the lashes to create a smokey look and doing...

    Great brush for my smallish lids, and for tighter crease work. Works well to apply both powder and cream shadow formulas. This and #239 are my MAC eye brush must-haves.

    I love this brush. I have small eyes, so this brush is PERFECT for defining my outer v. I also love it to smudge shadows along my bottom lash line, AND to hilight my inner corner. It's just an all...

    I bought this brush as my MA said it was good for applying MAC paints and precision work. I had this brush for a couple of years and only had brought it out to use 4-5 times since I've had it. I...

    I don't have a lot of MAC brushes because I think the Sonia Kashuk brushes at Target are just as good. This brush, however, did not have a dupe and I've wanted this for a long time and caved and...

    This brush may be tiny but it's very useful. It's great for precise applications, for packing on colour, on the crease and outer v and for the bottom lashes. Great brush to have!

    This was initially recommended to me by a MAC SA with *gorgeous* soft smokey eyes - the type I could not stop staring at. She recommended the 228 as her "secret weapon", the small, dense bristles...

    MY FAVORITE eye shadow brush! It has expanded my creative ability, because it is so versatile. The edge is fine enough to dry-line. Cover small lids in a flash. Carve a neat "V" in the outer...

    This is going back to MAC. A SA recommended this for doing the outer-V of the eye... and it really is not useful to me. I'd rather have a flat brush for applying eye pigments - and I also need a...

    I really like this brush. I use it for lining the lower lash line mostly. I sometimes use it in the crease or outer v for more detail.
