Great All Around Eye Brush
This is definitely one of my most used eyeshadow brushes. I had the 224 from MAC before this and now I can't believe I ever made it without the 217. If you are trying to decide between the 224 and the 217 for eye shadow and blending, I would definitely go with the 217. It is much more versatile and easy to work with. This is great for applying shadow all over the lid or for application just to...read more the crease or the outer corners of the eyes. I mostly use this with powder products but it also works nicely at blending cream shadows. You can lay this brush flat and cover a large area, but on its side, it is quite narrow so it is good for precision that way. I just love the versatility of this brush so much. I have had mine for at least three years now and it is just as good as when I bought it. No shedding or splaying at all. This is also really easy to clean. If you are building your brush roll, this is an essential.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 52 of 64 people said helpful

Good but...
I really like this brush, but I hate that the bristles are white. I really get irritated with this brush because when blending lighter colors after having blended darker colors, the pigments are released onto the lighter eyeshadow. I hate having to wash this brush constantly because of the loose pigments that might be delivered to my next eyeshadow look. I suggest getting a different brush, but if you HAVE to have MAC brushes, then go for it.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 18 of 23 people said helpful
