This is a nice brush but I was told it'd be great to use as a crease brush. I find that the bristles are too stiff to use in the crease so it ends up leaving a "line" of color and then I end up...

MAC #217 Blending brush is a must-have in EVERYONE'S makeup bag! The bristles are so soft which makes it extremely easy to apply and blend eyeshadow. This brush blends perfectly and doesn't hurt my...

The perfect textured brush for blending (especially my mistakes) eyeshadows into the crease and beyond. I sometimes apply pigments this way to my brow bone.

I need 2 or 3 of this brush. I also feel bad when I get the pretty white hairs mukky with paint or dark from darker shadows. However I mostly use this for an all over wash with a light shade and...

Wow, this really is the best brush. I have many other MAC brushes but didn't get this one until a few weeks ago. I hardly use any of the others anymore. Good for a wash, crease color and blending....

I was not an e/s brush girl- but now I am! A little frustrating in the beginning (too dark of a crease shadow that went on too dark w/ the brush.) But now I can see what a huge difference in...

Wonderful and effortless brush to apply e/s with. The MAC MA used it to put swish on my lid and I had to have it. Great brush to apply bright colors. It is also does great for blending as well.

This brush blends eyeshadow beautifully. The bristles haven't fallen out yet (I've had it for about 2 months and washed it twice) but I'll give it some more time to see what happens.

I use this brush more than any of the others. When I was in New York a couple years back an artist at the MAC store did my make-up. I just found the brush he used, this one, a few months ago.

A great brush for blending or even using as a crease brush works much better then #224 crease brush.
