“ This brush along with me 239s are my favorites! I have three or four 217s and two to three 239s. I can't imagine doing my makeup without them. They are lovely!!! ” --cr8zy4MAC

“ This brush is perfection! This style of brush is sometimes called a stippling brush for how it is handled, or a skunk brush because of its appearance.
