    I only own three MAC brushes, so I'm not a big expert on them. I picked this up at my local CCO, so I paid less for it than normal retail. I used to use this brush to apply makeup to the outer...

    This brush was a total disappointment to me. It is way too wide and floppy to apply color to the crease and although it does blend out harsh lines nicely - so can a multitude of other brushes that...

    FIRST of all, this is definitely a brush for people with LARGE eyelids. People with small eyelids should really not waste their time with this brush because it's just too big for them to do much...

    I love this brush. It is great for fine blending. I use it to get rid of harsh lines. I can't live without this brush.

    Yep, fabulous for blending, and for applying light washes. I do find it's harder to build color with this brush, even after a good cleaning. It's a bit bit and fluffy. Very high-quality, like most...

    I don't know how I blended shadows before I purchased this brush. My 217 does an amazing job at blending shadows, but lately, I find myself reaching for this brush more often. It's a bit too big to...

    Let me just say... if you blend at all, you will love this brush. Everything blends like a dream with this brush. I initially felt hesitant to buy this, but I find it more essential than half of my...

    Love this brush! It is my do-all for applying color on my lids, crease and blending. I'm a simple girl, and if you can give me one tool that can do it all, I'm SOLD. Price wasn't bad because...

    the 224 brush turns eyeshadows into a big muddy mess. 217 is loads better perfect for blending and crease. because the brush is thinner and more dense it makes blending alot more easier and creates...

    My eyes are too small to use this on the crease, I just use it to highlight my brow bone or to blend out and smooth colors.

    I think I might have gotten a dud because mine looks a lot bigger and fluffier than others that I see. It's way too fluffy to do much of anything. I never use it.

    One of my most loved brushes. Guess my dogs loved it too because I have had to replace it twice. That's how much I love it. I have been willing to dish out more than $30 several times for this...
