-This brush shape is good for precise application. However it is too stiff and scratchy for the sensitive under eye area, so it only deserves 3 stars. -Not worth the price tag. -Definitely prefer...

I have small eyes, so for me, this works beautifully as a crease/outer V brush. I have a MAC 217, but it's too big for the small crease of my eyes, so this brush works perfectly. I prefer to use...

My opinion is part of the minority, as I am probably the only person who doesn't like this brush. I bought this brush under the impression of all the hype from YouTube and other blogs alike. It...

Like all Mac brushes, this is well-made and wonderfully soft. The size/shape of it probably works great for lots of people, but I don't find myself using it very often. It seems to lay down too...

This brush is a must if you are an eyeshadow kind of person. I use it almost daily to line my lower lashes, and it's great for packing colour into the crease. It's also good for smudging out your...

Mac's 219 brush is simply amazing. It is so easy to work with and is great for creating a well defined "outer-v and lining the lower lash line. Picks up product very easily and spreads it like a...

At first I loved this brush but after a year...not so much. Let me explain: first off, I find 219 quite scratchy. For smudging eyeliner I prefer sponge brushes and for lining the eyes slanted...

I wanted a good brush for smudging and crease blending. This brush was coarse, scratched my skin, and shed like you would not believe. I had to return it.

I feel like I'm missing something. Everyone loves this brush but it doesn't seem to work for me. I personally found the 219 to be far too big but that's an issue with my eyes ( I don't have...

I rarely use this brush, but when I do, it does the job quite well. I mostly use it for densely packing color on my lid or for creating the first gradiant in a smoky eye, and it works. It fits...

This brush changed by makeup life. It is so easy to work with while working in the crease, outer v, or lash lines. Its stiff enough without being harsh on the skin or eyes.

At first I balked at the price, but I bit the bullet and took this baby home. Dang, that was the right decision. This is a pretty unique brush. I believe Sigma makes a brush modeled after this...

Once again, MAC, I'm impressed. This is probably the best eyeshadow brush I have (my Avon eyeshadow brush is a close second). With the 219 there is minimal flicking of eyeshadow dust and it...
