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

Favorite
I must say that this is one of my favorite brushes, sometimes I only do my makeup with just this one alone. (Especially when I'm traveling and I want to pack light). When I use it, I realize that I don't need my usual three brushes to get those perfectly blended eyes. You can lay it flat or on its side, depending on which area of the lid you're working with. I've always loved MAC and probably alwa...read moreys will. This brush will last long and it doesn't shed. I would recommend this product to any beauty junkie, it is for sure a must have.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 33 of 49 people said helpful

MAC 217 Blending Brush
This brush is another one of my essentials because it blends so well. I can make the V-point, do a well-blended smoky eye, or just blend several colors all over. It has short dense bristles and with proper care will last a long time. I like that it is multifunctional. It works well with any type of look that I am going for and I love that!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 18 of 22 people said helpful

So soft and comfy to use
A wonderful eye makeup brush like this makes the morning routine so much more fun. This is guaranteed the BEST eye brush you will ever find. It applies the perfect amount and even though it is super soft, you can still control exactly where the color goes. This is one of my all time favorite makeup tools (in addition to my flat iron).This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 9 of 11 people said helpful

love this brush
This brush is amazing! Its soft and blends the colors really nice. Its perfect for your crease, if you dont have big lids. It does not shed, and is very strudy. If you wash and take care of it properly these will last you forever! The price is a bit high, but if your willing to invest in 1 good brush, I would say go for this one.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 11 of 12 people said helpful

Amazing for applying color to the crease
I didn't know how much I didn't like my old crease brush until I bought this one. It applies crease colors beautifully, and subtly blends them out, so I don't have to spend a lot of extra time blending with my 224 brush. The only reason I didn't give it a 10 is the price, but I suppose you get what you pay for! :)This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 7 of 10 people said helpful
