Believe the hype on this brush! Much better than the MAC 217, that brush is synthetic hair. I would repurchase if damaged or lost.

The fact that this brand was difficult for me to obtain (small town in Canada) had me waiting a long time before making an order, after I missed out in finding the shop in Tokyo... turns out, yes,...

This is the most used brush in my collection. It's the perfect shape and density for applying and blending powder shadows in my crease. The skin around my eyes is very sensitive and it is so soft...

Not impressed by MAC217 or want a better version of it, buy Hakuhodo J5523. This might be the best brush purchase you've ever made. Like other reviewers mentioned it's super soft and dense at the...

This is one of the best Hakuhodo blending brushes. I really love it; it is better than MAC's 217 and is actually cheaper! I use mine on a daily basis and it is still good as new; is very easy to...

My first Hakuhodo brush was an emergency (kind of?) purchase as I suspected that my cheaper eyeshadow brushes (*cough* Revlon *cough*) were scratching my eyelids so bad that it caused what feels...

Initially, I was dead set on buying a MAC 217 as my blending brush. I have used it before and was able to get a feel of how the brush would work. My problem was that (imo) the bristles were...

I discovered Hakuhodo brushes watching Tati on youtube. I was afraid they where going to be super expensive and to my surprise some of them where more affordable than Mac. The most expensive brush...

Look no further for the perfect blending brush. If you have the opportunity to acquire a Hakuhodo brush, go, actually run for it. The J5523 is the closest MAC 217 dupe made by Hakuhodo. It is made...

Amazing, so much better than Mac it's not even funny. If you don't have this you need to order it today...along with many other Hakuhodos. This brush feels like silk on your eyes and blends...

Excellent brush. It's really the better version of MAC 217. It is ever so soft but yet firm enought to apply the main colour onto the eye lid and blend it out to perfection. It does it all. I have...

Definite upgrade from MAC 217: softer and more control; don't forget cheaper too. Worth every penny. I own 3 MAC 217 brushes and will still use them but will replace them over time with the J5523....

I currently have two of these brushes. Really fantastic blending brush. It is slightly less expensive than it's counterpart, the MAC 217. In my opinion, it does work better, but the 217 is still a...

The softer version of the MAC 217. It is cheaper, it is better and you can even tell just by looking at it that it's softer, the hairs are much thinner. This is better than the MAC one in every...

A staple. One of my top all-time favorite beauty products for sure. What more is to say that it blends out eyeshadows beautifully, soft as feather, and retains its shape after, say, a hundred...

Holy crap I love this brush! Soft as a baby's breath and great at both applying and blending shadows. Retains its shape beautifully, so glad I got this instead of the MAC 217.

I love this brush. It is very versatile and well made. It is very soft on the eyelids but also blends shadow extremely well. I use it with both creams and powders. It is flat on one side but fits...

Buy this brush instead of the MAC 217! This is a wonderful blending brush. I own the MAC 217, and several cheaper dupes aswell, but I prefer the Hakuhodo. + the shape is perfection, no stray...

I would compare this brush to the Tom Ford #13 brush in terms of softness. It is similar in shape to the Mac 217, but not as tapered. This is fantastic for blending the crease. All that for...

This brush is a joy to use and versatile. The head is soft as breath on the eyelids (uncut hair tips!) without sacrificing springiness or shape retention. It's dense to allow you to pack on...
