Absolutley the BEST brush I have to date! Use it with my undereye concealer and it helps with the whole 'less is more' application. Can't rave about it enough!

It's expensive, but so worth it. I love this brush, it really shows how badly my cheap drugstore brushes suck. It picks up eyeshadow well, applies it easily, and of course, blends amazingly well....

Good brush for blending, although you must blend very lightly or it will wipe off too much color. Prefer the Raquel Welch 223 to this one. Have also used it to apply a wash in the crease or if...

I went to the boards and asked for a rec for a good brush to blend my eyeshadow, and the nearly unanimous answer was the MAC 217. I have not been disappointed! This is a long-handled brush with...
