    I almost love this. It's just too big, and the bristles a little too loose. I can't blend my shadow with it without messing it up and just getting it all over the place. I think the 226 would be...

    Is it an expensive brush? Yes! Is it worth it? Yes, absolutely!! You will use it everyday, it's that good. Whenever you apply eyeshadow you will use the 224 because you need to blend the hard...

    This is my go to HG blending brush. I have tried the 222 & have the 217 and the 226 but this brush is soooo much better. This brush blends anything. I'm super anal about not having any harsh lines...

    Hi friends, I love this product to death, the blendability is incredible, although I do have to agree with most that the brush is pretty big for the small eye area. It does its job when it comes to...

    This brush blends harsh lines beautifully. Doesn't shed. The bristles are less soft than the 239's and the 217's. At least, these bristles are black, not white!!! My 224 is a little big for my eyes...

    I love this blending brush! Definitely not the best for small eyes, but it feels so soft on the skin, is perfect for adding blender colors on the crease (such as cork, soft brown...) or just...

    There's not much left to say about this brush, but here's my 2 cents: A staple in my daily makeup, I use this as an all-over wash brush for my lids, a blender for my shadows, and the brush I...

    I found this at a CCO for $19 something. This is not a must-have but does a wonderful job blending and for applying concealer. This is also great for applying an all-over wash on the lids, but it's...

    This is the only MAC brush that disappointed me. I don't know why this is the most popular blending brush. This brush feels like it's made of cheap synthetic fibers, is not dense enough to blend...

    Honestly? My Sonia Kashuk pointed blending brush does the EXACT same job for a LOT less money. Get thee to a Target and get one, and save a bunch of $$$ in the process.
