I'm so glad I got two original 215 brushes these synthetic ones just aren't the same !! MAC PLEASE BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL ONES

Like many others I've been using my old 217 for many years- I had to buy a replacement and the new synthetic version is rubbish- I had to throw it away, it's horrible and doesn't blend anything! Avoid

When i say i love love love this brush !!! This my #1favorite packing and blending brush! The best brush ever !! Kind pricey but i love it and plan to buy a few more!!

What a disappointment this brush is - all my trusted 217 brushes have given up after being well loved and used often - sad to say I'll have to look elsewhere for an alternative as MAC aren't up to it! what a shame!

I use this for my lid and crease and it's great, that I bought another one .

I am so happy that MAC has finally made synthetic brushes! There was no reason for an animal to suffer for a makeup brush especially when synthetic brushes work so well. MAC, please ignore the negative comments about these brushes, I am now buying these brushes for the first time only because they aren't made from real animal hair and many others are also. Thank You MAC for making your brushes better and less cruel in the process!

This new 217 is garbage. I've used MAC brushes for many years and the 217 has always been my fav. Your customers keep telling you these synthetic brushes are not good quality, but for the most part you keep giving the same response, telling us they are great brushes-when we literally just told you we hate them. There are plenty other companies with better and cheaper brushes than these "new" synthetic brushes. I will NOT purchase any more. The quality is NOT there.

I replaced my old 217 real hair brush and there is no similarity between this new synthetic version and the old one. The outline of the product photo makes it look the same but it's flatter, smoother, and does not blend at all like the old one. There are knock off 217 real hair brushes that are closer to the original one than this one. Bring back the real hair brushes or MAC's rep is just going down. The brushes were the hallmark of your pro status but now I have to get my brushes from other brands. SO sad.
