    I had been dreaming about this legendary brush, and when it became available with the MAC Me Over collection, I jumped to get it. So far, I really love it! It's soft (I had seen complaints of...

    Call it the MAC effect, but I'd been dreaming of this brush for ages! And now that I've finally gotten my hands on the 2011 re-release, I'm sorely disappointed. I was able to choose the two I...

    This is one of a select few brushes that I would take with me to a desert island - yes, I love it *that* much. I purchased it last fall when I got back into MAC after a long hiatus and it...

    APPLICATION: This is my absolute favorite crease brush, hands down. I have tried the 222 & 224 with <i>okay</i> results. They blend extremely well but lack the precision I like. I have tried...

    I wanted to love this brush, but even though the shape is almost perfect for the crease, it's scratchy. Really scratchy. It litterally hurts my lid everytime I use it. I've washed it several times...

    This is an alright brush, I still prefer my MAC 217 over this one. If I wanted a precise application of color in my crease, I would definitely use this but otherwise, it's super hard to blend with...

    This is MAC's best crease brush in my opinion - I have no idea why they haven't made it permanent. It's tapered almost to a point, so you can load colour onto the top and apply it precisely, but...

    I find this brush so frustrating, because it should do a good job, but it hurts so much each time I use it. I might take the reviewer belows advice and use it for concealer, but grrrrrr why...

    I bought this blush to blend my crease and it sucks! It's too big making it useless (try the 224 or 222). But once apon a time, I mistakenly grabbed this brush and used it for applying concealer...
