MAC 214 brush: underated

[sss215]

This short shader brush is so underrated! its from style black and blond, brunette, redhead. i tried to get it at MAC stores and had no luck but found it online. this brush is like a shorter 239, and is soft. I love that since i have a small amount of lid space.

i have so much control when i use it its not even funny. this and the 226 make a great pair. I still love the usual 239, and 217/224 that is widely used, but these too make application easier for me. try them out if your lid space is limited.

i might have to try looking for this brush if it is a shorter version of the 239 which is my fave brush!

I love the 214 also. I actually bought it before I bought the 139. I keep telling people don't overlook that brush.

I do love this brush. I have smaller eyes, so it does give a lot of control to smaller space.
Question: My 226 is scratchy as heck. The size and shape is perfect, but it hurts!
I've tried washing and it feels the same. Do you guys have this problem at all?

 

[shontay07108]

No, my 226 isn't scratchy at all. Sorry to hear yours is.

214 is awesome for packing on color!

Grrr! Ive been trying to find the 214 for ages! They dont sell it in Ireland and Mac doesnt ship to Ireland. Has anybody found a good dupe for this?

Both Nars and Sephora brands have smudge brushes similar to the 214.

Sigma E20. I got mine today and it's still labeled as SS214.

I don't have MAC 214 so I can't tell if this is an exact dupe. Anyway I like this a lot.

I love to use this brush for smudging out liners for a smoky effect
