    This brush is a great addition to #217 or #224. It provides more precision when applying or blending eyeshadow in the crease. So it's great for adding that slightly darker color to the crease and...

    Excellent brush for applying and blending in the crease. Not as great as the 217, but I do love this one.

    Love this brush to get that softer defined crease look. It does it job at blending out that line. It is also super soft. What more can I say? It's another brush worth investing in.

    I didn't really know that I hadn't quite mastered eyeshadow application in my crease until I used the 226. I don't have a very big space to work with in my crease. So this works wonders. I use the...

    I love this brush!!! the 226 works really well for eyeshadow placement and blending! The precision tip is great for the outer-v and crease. I have small eye lid space, so this did the job perfectly...

    This is a very dense brush, and if you stab yourself with the tip you'll find it a lil prickly. But, for applying shadows it's fine. I use it on days I am really in a rush and just want some colour...

    Love it!!! After trying to get it in three different countries, where the 226 aut of the Coulour Craft Collection was sold out, I finally got it. It's perfect for my small eyes, on which the 217...

    I like this brush, if you have small eyes this would be great for crease work. It's pointed at the tip so you can be precise, but you can also apply some pressure and it flares out and you can give...

    I love this brush too! It's black, small and tapered, allowing for accurate eyeshadow application especially in the crease. However, It is a tiny bit scratchy, and because it is limited edition -...
