    I bought this brush 2 weeks ago and it was hard to find, there were only 2 left in the store. I had high hopes for this brush because of the high price tag and many people rave about it being good...

    Meh! This brush is alot scratchier than I expected from a mac brush. I wouldn't buy it again, as my essence of beauty crease brushes work 100 times better than this without hurting my sensitive...

    I am really happy with this brush. I ordered it sight unseen from Nordies after the local freestanding MAC stores had sold out. Before it got here, I was a but nervous that I'd gotten swept up in...

    The raves below don't really need me to rave on as well. So i'll keep this short: if you have small-medium eyes, and you use eyeshadow, this brush is for you. I've always found the 217 a tad too...

    Oh where have you been all my life? Why doesn't MAC have a permanent brush like this?! I love the 217 for crease work, but the white goat hair doesn't work for my beloved MES!! (The 213 and 226...

    This blending brush from MAC is fantastic! This brush makes applying eyeshadow to the crease very simple. I picked up 2 of them at a MAC counter, since I don't have any similar crease brushes in my...

    I'm a bit of a brush fanatic, the mention of new ones with the BBR collection got me into a bit of a frenzy. Never been that big a fan of the 224, I have two and haven't used them on myself in...

    I really do like the brush...but I cannot say that I use it often. I have monolids/hooded (I am half Korean) so I do not really have a strong crease. This brush may work better for others, but...

    I am loving the 226 LE brush. This brush is like the 224, but shorter and fluffier. I like that this brush is basically a crease brush that can be used like the 224, or the 217. While it is a great...

    I would give this brush a 4.5 if I could. The shape is great for precisely defining the crease. However, my Chanel #12 is still my HG crease brush (it is fuller than the 226 but has the same...
