Holy Crow, how did I live without this brush? It's fantastic for placement of eyeshadow in the crease while not using too much product! I bought the Sigma brush SS 217 and it just doesn't...

I have always really liked the quality of my MAC brushes. The 217 is no exception. It's so multi-purpose and the quality has stayed so well with age. I can use this for blending or applying...

It does the job pretty well. However, i'm not sure if it was worth how much I paid for. The bristle on the brush last for quite a long time and it is from real animal hair so you can't realy...

One of my HG multi-use brushes. For my creaseless Asian eyes, this brush is stiff enough to pick up color but soft enough to blend all over the lid. For my complexion, I use it to blend concealers...

This is a fantastic brush for applying color to my crease. This is saying something because I have fairly small hooded eyes and the crease is a tricky spot for me -- either I apply too little and...

I use this to pack on color a lot, and it's great for that. It also serves its purpose well & blends eyeshadow flawlessly when used lightly. I really like it. :)
