    Honestly, I returned this brush, because I had the Sonia Kashuk blending brush, which is very similar. But my SK brush sheds a few hairs after each wash, so probably in a few months I will pick...

    I can honestly say I don't know how I lived (well, applied e/s) without this brush. An MA used it to apply an overall wash of e/s on me, and it was absolutely flawless, and best of all, QUICK. It...

    This is great for blending. It takes some time to get used to it, though. I took it back after I first bought it, and the SA took her time to show me how to actually use it. I now love it, no harsh...

    This brush is the workhorse of my brush collection. I have an SE short handled one (Love the shorter handle, much easier to work with and for travel). I would say I use this to apply 90%+ of my...

    I absolutely LOVE this brush. Pretty much exactly what I needed. And here I was thinking Sonia Kashuk brushes were great...well...not so. I used this and now I'm a MAC brush convert. (well, thsi...

    This is the Cadillac of blending brushes. Dense, yet soft. Great for crease work and overall blending. I learned a neat tip on using the 224 from a MAC class that I attended. When I refer to...

    I'm only not going to buy this brush again because I'm being optimistic and hoping I never use it to that point. Haha. Anyway, I went to MAC and told her I wanted a good blending brush. She showed...

    I have had this brush for a few years and barely used it. I have been using it lately to swirl in color and then blend my crease color with my brow color.

    This was one of the first "real" makeup brushes I purchased over two years ago, and it's still in good condition, although I did notice this one sheds a hair or two every once in a while (I got...

    I already had the 217, so I figured I wouldn't need this brush. I was wrong. The 217 is more dense and firm, you see. While that's definitely very useful for blending, I find that if I want a more...

    I bought this and some other MAC brushes when a MUA made me over, back when I first got into makeup. It sits unused most of the time, since there are better brushes for precise crease application...

    Another fantastic MAC brush, but aren’t they all? The bristles are a little over an inch long, soft and fluffy with a gently tapered tip. Even when I’m wearing very dark eye shadow, the brush...

    I got this as part of the Holiday 2004 brush set. I like using it for washes and contouring. It does its job well for a sheer application. The problem is that I find it too coarse and irritating to...

    This is a smaller version of the 225 brush and works extremely well for depositing color below the crease. It's definitely a must have!
