I've started to use this brush almost everyday. I hate to compare but this brush is almost identical with MAC 219... I use it for the same purpose. It gets into smaller areas because of the tapered tip, which is great for my small eyelids. It is also great for blending and getting colour on the lower lash line. I love how precise it is and how it can also blend. You can really build up a colour with this brush. I've washed it several times and it doesn't shed. I really enjoy this brush and for the price, you should try it out!
