Best brush ever! This brush changed my way of applying eyemakeup. Perfect for blending and for applying crease colour. If I could choose only one brush, I would choose this.

Versatile. This is the best word to describe this brush. This is honestly enough to create an entire eye look. This brush is my very first MAC brush and I just love it! Use the two sides for shadow...

This brush has quickly become one of my favourite brushes. I find it too big to do detailed crease work or crease blending, but I love this for applying powder shadows as a wash to the lid. I...

I get why people love it so much. It's beautiful for blending and applying color. I can use one brush to do everything. The 239 cannot blend as well, but the 217 can apply a wash of color, add...

Ok, I just want to say that I am not one to spend $30 on a brush, but despite that I do not regret purchasing this brush and adore it from the bottom of my heart. Before the 217, I could not get...

Great brush for crease application! It really defines the crease as it blends the shadows to create a semi-airbrushed loook!! One of my favorite brushes!!

Good for crease and blending. I was looking for it to get more of the eye instead of the crease, but overall great and worth the price. One of the cheaper MAC brushes. Probly won't buy again though...

This is my first mac brush. I use it everyday. It is worth every penny. With this brush even drugstore eyeshadow is applied nicely. I can't wait to purchase other mac brushes.

At first I didn't like this brush much...but I started using it more, and eventually got accustomed to it! Now I absolutely love this brush-even if it is a bit heavy on the pocket

My #1 brush, without a doubt! It's expensive but considering that I use it every single day, I definitely get my money's worth out of it.
