This is almost like the 222, but a little stiffer and slightly longer too. Good for blending eyeshadow, I've used it for concealer like MACs pro longwear as well :)

Picked this up at a CCO. I had been on the look out for either a 222 or 217 brush for a while, but when i saw this i figured i might as well try it. As far as I'm concerned, the biggest...

I have asian eyes, it is really hard to apply eyeshadow in the outer V of my eyelids because when I open my eyes it goes farther than my crease. I found that this is the perfect brush for anyone...

I really like this brush, it is able to apply thin cream products but doesnt work well because of the long bristles they brush will just "drag" the product instead of buffing and blending it in. I...

I really like this brush alot. I creates a different look, a nice soft crease look. Due to shape of brush, it fits into the crease area and doesn't spread the product out like the 224. It...

This is a nice brush to have, but it's not a must have. It's hard to control it since the bristles are really long. The only use I have for it is to blend out the harsh lines of my paint pots,...

I bought this brush at MAC a while back and I have barely used it and I have recently discovered why. MAC labels this brush as "blending," but it doesn't really blend shadows at all. In fact, the...

The SA convinced me to buy this instead of the 217 brush, which was out of stock - I have since bought the 217 and can honestly say that this is not a patch on it. It is far too soft to use in the...

I love this brush. Granted it is softer than usual but it doesn't scratch my eyes and makes an excellect brush for a wash of color, plus it makes a great blending brush as well. I thought it was...

I love this brush! I use it to apply e/s lightly on the lid or all over the eye, or in the crease like the 224. It is very soft and thinner than the other blending brushes. It keeps its shape...

It's not firm enough, way too soft, I tried to use it, but there's no way to use it for me.

This brush is pretty, because of the coloring of the hair, but it is almost too soft to be of any use to me.
