    I have to grudgingly say that I need this brush. Grudgingly because it is so expensive ($28), yet it is so dang effective as a blender. It is the perfect blender, and this is pretty much what I...

    EDIT: I've had this brush for a few months now, and it's way too scratchy/poky (however it still blends well)...I now love my NARS #13 brush for crease shadows and blending. Boo MAC 224. I...

    I just recently got this for a cheap price at a CCO. I absolutely love it! This is such a miracle brush, with this, eyeshadow application is super easy. I couldn't even do a proper crease prior to...

    This is a wonderful brush for blending in concealer. It's really too big and fluffy for me to use as a creash brush but blends well and such high quality. This brush will last forever!

    i bought it with vanilla pigment. i think it does exactly what all the other said. not good for delicant things, but perfect for blending or shimmer applying.

    I use this brush DAILY!!! It is GREAT for BLENDING, putting color in the crease, or adding a sheer wash of color on the whole lid. It has MANY uses, and it is a NECESSITY to own!!! LOVE LOVE...

    This is the best brush I have for use as a wash and highlighter. It is a good blending brush as well, and due to its size, makes very quick work of it. 224 is also is good for depositing a light...

    I agree with LittleGnome on this one. It is to long of a brush to do your creases with (not enough control) and too fluffy to do your allover color. I am going to give this one another try (picked...

    This *is* a very floppy brush and it does "swish" from side to side and it certainly was not the crease brush I was looking for when the MAC SA recommended it to me as such. It is a decent wash...

    Nothing new I can really add. This is a great brush for blending. I reach for it more than my 217 brush.

    I like this, I find it similar to LM's ponytail brush (also reviewed). I like the "floppy" nature of this brush. I don't do complicated eyes so I don't use this as a blender per se, but really as...

    I really love this brush. It blends eyeshadow flawlessly. It also can give a sheer layer of color wash, use it for crease color, and adding highlight. I prefer to use this just for blending, but...

    At first I thought this brush was way too soft and I had wasted my money. But after reading reviews here I tried again. For me, this brush is only good for crease work. Gives a very blended soft...

    This is a really great Brush! It's the first MAC one I've bought and it makes eyeshadow crease application/blending a dream! I find it really soft but not so soft it doesn't pick up the pigment or...

    When using this on others, I find this brush to be indispensible for crease work. On me, however, it's just not quite right. For shading and crease work, I'm actually more of a #213 brush kind of...
