Sorry, I know you all love the #217, but I hate this brush. It's so very scratchy and way too stiff. I don't feel that it blended very well, albeit this was probably due the scratch factor. ...

I like This brush. It applies colour in the crease well, it's blends well and you can even use it to apply shadow on your lid.

This brush is essential, BUT, coastal scents and morphe (which both private label from Crown Brushes, meaning the brushes are the exact same they just have their names stamped on them) have...

Nope nope- average and doesn't blend half as smoothly as my soft and amazing purminerals brushes. Very scratchy and irritating to my sensitive eyes. Decent for application but not blending-or maybe...

My favourite blending brush. Dense enough that you can apply product with it but still super fluffy and blends shadows out perfectly.

This brush is insanely soft and blends out anything. You can honestly use this for your whole eye shadow look or contouring nose, chin, and jaw. You can also use this for concealer and any cream...

I thought I didn't need you, oh sweet MAC 217. I was wrong. Oh, how wrong I was. You filled a spot my H&M brushed just couldn't fill. I hope every makeup lover meets you one day, you magician at...

No doubt this is the OG of blending brushes. But it is a bit pricey, considering the fact that there are many excellent blending brushes at drugstore prices on the market. I can look past that...

I finally caved in to buy this. I tried other crease blending brushes but this one is easier to use. I went to Mac counter with no makeup on and I'm having horrible blemishes. I heard lots of...

This brush is very good and deserves its cult status for the most part...but there are a lot of dupes out there that cost less. It's great for crease work and blends wonderfully. It is better than...

To date, the best brush I have ever owned. I used it for the first time this morning and it made blending as easy as you can get using a makeup brush. It's really hard to mess up your eyeshadow...

I always thought the hype and fuzz about this very renowned brush is just overstated and overrated until I decided to give it a try. I have so many eyeshadow brushes with some blending brushes...

Not the biggest fan of this brush. I guess it is a matter of taste. I like this brush for all over color washes, and that's it. For my tastes, it is too big, long and "imprecise" for blending,...
