Blending Brush Recs

I've been using one from Sonia Kashuk for a couple years, I like it, it does it's job. I also have one from Coastal scents but I've always heard good things about MAC's 224. If I was going to buy another one I'd probably get that.

I personally like the mac 224 for blending!it's soft & fluffy so it does a really good job!

mac 217 is really good for defining crease & placing colour!

I love the 217 as well, though I have a Sonia Kashuk blending brush (I don't know the number, but's it has black bristles and a shape similar to the MAC 138, but in eyeshadow blending size, lol) that I turn to when I have a larger area to blend. I actually love using the 227 to blend the top line of shadows sometimes!

224 if you have an medium to large eye. I have small eyes so 222 works better. I also like Elf's blending brush, $1.

Sonia's brush is too scratchy! The 224 is TOO BIG. Much better for concealer than for my eyes. I'm with Rach, The 217 is a God send!

217 or 224 for mac, or if you want a cheap alternative i picked up a revlon blending brush that's a bit smaller than the 224 and its pretty good

I have the MAC 217, 222, and 224, and in all honesty, I much prefer my Studio Gear #34. To me, it's the perfect cross between the 222 and 224. Love it!

I think the best one is 217! I have the 222, but don't like it too much. Eve Pearl's blender/mixer brush is pretty good as well.
