This is a FANTASTIC concealer brush. Allows you to use the slightest bit of concealer and have it go A LONG WAY! Concealer really blends with this brush, giving it that flawless look.

I bought this brush based on the reviews here (even though I didn't know what it was for!), and because it was one of the cheaper eye makeup brushes from MAC. (What reasons!) Some reviewers said...

MAC's 217 brush is perfect for blendind, shading and creasing! I have a fairly minimal amount of eyelid space, and as much as I love my 224 for blending, I needed something smaller and more precise...

This is a great blending brush and for what it's destined to do, it fulfills its duty. My only gripe is the colour of the brush -- it's white and gets dirty pretty easily; wish this brush was made...

This is my absolute HG crease brush. I don't use it for blending, just for the crease and there is no substitute!

This brush is a MUST! You need to to blend together your eyeshadows so that there are no lines. I also use this to put powder over my concealer.
