The 217 & 219 are great brushes. I would definitely also look into getting the 224 brush for crease and blending. Its one of my 1st MAC brushes and still swear by it. Also... the 182 & 187 are great. If your looking for a brush that is a good all around face brush I would recommend the 182. If its just for simple HL on the face I'd pick up the 187.
