Product: MAC’s 217 blending brush
What I use it for: Uh, this one’s a no-brainer: I use this super-hyped brush for blending shadows!
Loves: What you notice right off the bat once you pick this baby up is that it’s incredibly soft – like, OHMYGOD I’M ON ECSTASY soft. Even for my super-sensitive skin, it feels like a dream!! And it blends like a dream too. It’s the perfect size for buffing out those hard edges, no matter if you’re a beginner or a pro. This one’s talked about all the time for a reason!
Dislikes: None! I honestly have NO complaints about this brush. It’s super soft, blends well, weighted perfectly, and its white bristles let you know when there’s colour on it, so you don’t accidentally blend something into that work of art that is your eyelids.
If you don’t “blend”: that’s still okay. I know some ladies just like a sheer wash of colour, and this would do that well, too! I say this only because it’s SO soft – even if you’re using a $5 eyeshadow, it’ll definitely feel luxe going on. (And hey! No harsh lines!) We can all use a little glam in the mornings, weather it takes thirty seconds, or half an hour!
The Verdict? I don’t care how old you are, or how skilled you are. This is a must-buy, no matter what! Though blending is a skill, it definitely helps to have the right tools – and this definitely is the right tool. It’s worth it’s $22.50USD price tag over and over again! I’m tempted to buy another one, just because I use it so often.
