This brush is amazing! It is very easy to control when applying/blending shadow or pigments, blends the color easily, and holds it shape well after a 100 uses. This is my favorite MAC eye brush!12/30/2007

      I used to use the sponge tip cheap eyeshadow brushes that come in covergirl eyeshadow kits but it didn't do justice to the look I wanted.

February 27, 2008, 1:21 pm I used to use the sponge tip cheap eyeshadow brushes that come in covergirl eyeshadow kits but it didn't do justice to the look I wanted. Since I had never bought any type of eye brush before, a MAC makeup artist said that if I do not end up buying any of the other mac eye brushes, this is the must have! It blends like no other brush. This multi-use brush can be used to smooth on eyeshadow, or pack it on for that more dramatic look. It is also great for the crease area and brow bone and much more! It is so soft and soO easy to clean. This is a must have for sure =) February 27, 2008, 1:21 pm

      I would cry if MAC stopped making this brush.

      by Jen_FiftyCentHead (10 reviews)
      Remember that scene from Pretty Woman where Julia Roberts' character said "Mistake. Big Mistake!"? That's how I would feel if MAC stopped making this brush. It's great for creams, for which it was designed, and even nice with powders. I have three of these for personal use: 1 I use to apply my Painterly Paint ... February 20, 2008, 6:48 am Remember that scene from Pretty Woman where Julia Roberts' character said "Mistake. Big Mistake!"? That's how I would feel if MAC stopped making this brush. It's great for creams, for which it was designed, and even nice with powders. I have three of these for personal use: 1 I use to apply my Painterly Paint Pot as a base for most eye looks I do; 1 I use to apply my concealer; 1 I use for dry, powder products. That third one gets less use than the others. I have several of this brush for my professional kit, too, and it is a favorite go-to brush. I love it because it doesn't absorb creamy products, nor does it streak them up. It simply deposits the color exactly where I want it to go. What more can you ask of a brush!? The curved flower tip of the brush is perfect for light applications, but you can press a bit more firmly and get more coverage. As with most MAC brushes, this holds up nicely and doesn't shed hairs all over the place. This is a required brush, in my humble opinion, for anyone who is serious about makeup!

      The 217 brush is so versatile -- you can do an all-over wash of color, shade your eyelid crease or use it to blend shadow you've applied. It can be used for powder and cream shadows and I even use it to smooth out my concealer and sometimes to contour the sides of my nose. MAC brushes might seem expensive, but they are ...

It can be used for powder and cream shadows and I even use it to smooth out my concealer and sometimes to contour the sides of my nose. MAC brushes might seem expensive, but they are a great investment - with a little care and frequent washing, these brushes will last 10 years or longer! February 17, 2008, 11:18 am

      Crease please

      by audmac (23 reviews)
      I was at the CCO looking for a MAC crease brush and the saleslady recomended this one. It works pretty well for that and I use it every day. Great quality brush and it was about 1/3 off since I got it at the CCO-yeah! January 28, 2008, 6:38 pm

      Can't live without this brush

      by cheetah11 (63 reviews)
      One of the best, if not THE best brush for blending eye shadows. Makes blending a breeze even if you're new to eye shadows. It was my first blending brush and I had acquired a couple more thereafter. Yes it's expensive but the brush last a long time and holds it shape, even after many, many uses and cleaning.

      The Does It All Brush

      by kitcat007 (5 reviews)
      This brush is the best. You can use it for the lid, crease, highlight. You can really do a whole eye look with just this brush. I can't say that about any other eye brush that I own. You can even use this on the face. I like to use it to contour my nose. The quality is excellent, just as I have found all Mac brushes to be. ... July 24, 2008, 7:50 pm This brush is the best.
