    I'm in love with this brush. I like it because I don't have a lot of lid space, and it gets perfectly into my crease without leaving a big mess on my brow bone. I bought this as part of the colour...

    This brush is essential for the crease. It's so easy to get exact color placement with this brush, and to blend out your crease color. I cant use mine under the eye though because it's too pokey....

    Bought this on the repromote in Colour craft, I understand what all the hype was about! I can pick up colour on the tip of the brush to apply precisely into my crease amd then blend it downwards...

    I love love love this brush. It is the perfect fit for my crease and perfect for creating the outer-v and blending. It hasn't shed yet so hopefully it never will :)

    This is my first MAC brush. I’ve been using Estee Lauder and Lancome brushes since 1991 and I “thought” they were the best – however, I just learned that they are not! This MAC brush is the...

    I'm surprised the reviews are so on the fence about this fantastic little brush - I'm generally really brush-phobic/challenged. I use this and my 217 and that's basically it. This is the perfect...

    I have mixed opinions on this brush. After hearing all the hype about it I reserved one at my MAC counter on the day BBR came out, which was good because they sold out very quickly. The SA told me...

    I wasnt looking for a crease brush when this came out with BBR but later after being frequently frustrated with my 217 I decided I had to have this one. Since it was sold out everywhere I ended up...

    I love my MAC 217 for blending, but always found it a bit too bit for my eye shape, and I always had to be careful when blending with it, so my eyeshadow wouldn't go too far up on my brow bone....

    Great for applying product right where you want to, really precise. Outer V is done in a blink of an eye. Not so good for blending. Funny, because is supposed to be a blending blush.

    this 226 brush is perfect for me for a couple reasons 1-my eyelids are smaller & my crease is deep so this brush really gets in where i need it to & deposits the color exactly where u put it. 2-...

    I found this brush to be on the rough side. I like the 217 much better, it's much softer than the 226. The 226 is smaller but I think the pointed shaped is what makes it feel harsh against the...
