I still find it's a bit too floppy and it just doesn't deposit color how I would like and I find I have to keep dipping and applying oh but then I end up with shadow that has fallen onto my cheeks. I think I keep using it only because unfortunately I was impatient and purchased the whole set of brushes instead of waiting for reviews - keep using it bc I feel guilty that I don't care for a majority of the brushes in that set. Ok, well there's one other one that's not bad but it's not great and certainly not what I was expecting. Plus he goes on and on about the multi functionality of all his brushes and I don't always understand or get it??? Anyway....whoops...sorry such a tangent! I need to check out that Hakuhodo brush! The Makeup Show is coming to Chicago and Hakuhodo is supposed to be there, so hopefully I'll find some goodies :-) Gummy @ Gummy Visionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04489464878294691116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589727970044632991.post-79537015700556470342014-05-20T22:04:33.372-04:002014-05-20T22:04:33.372-04:00First off, jealous that you have a Wayne Goss brus...First off, jealous that you have a Wayne Goss brush. (I'm not big on buying brushes, but if I were, I'd nab half of his stuff) I've only got one Sigma brush (f80), and I ADORE it, but I have heard issues with Sigma's brushes being hit/miss/overrated. Dear lord, that Hakuhodo brush is a BEAUT. <br /><br />I don't wear eyeshadow too frequently, so I don't really have a favourite, but it's nice to see a 'roundup' of them, just in case one day I decide to go in the market for not a 217.<br />Vanessa | <a href="http://citronandguavaberry.blogspot.ca/" rel="nofollow">Citron and Guavaberry ʘ‿ʘ </a>Vanessa Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16500757767135240306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589727970044632991.post-46247340089559598062014-05-20T21:05:35.981-04:002014-05-20T21:05:35.981-04:00I second Larie on SK blending brush.

Mine holds up extremely well for 10+ years of usage. I think I must caution buying SK brushes right now, I heard from MUA a while back that the quality is not as good anymore, which is sad considering SK is readily accessible & a pioneer on making good brushes available to us all. I'm also interested in hearing what you have to say, Larie!Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18179420902933819052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589727970044632991.post-80132384151798665332014-05-20T19:44:24.931-04:002014-05-20T19:44:24.931-04:00Hi Pauline and welcome!

However, I didn't know how soft a brush could be until I tried those luxury Japanese brushes. Now my MAC217 feels like sandpaper on my lids >_<<br />For my smaller Asian eyes, I need something shorter and more tapered because the longer fluffy ones just make the es application look messy. Thanks for sharing this Monika.

However, it has a hefty price tag and I can't afford to buy another one for when I don't want to clean my makeup brushes. I've heard so many great things about Wayne Goss and Hakuhodo brushes... looks like I will definitely try to get my hands on that Hakuhodo blending brush! New follower!

I'm mostly using my fingers, a fluffy brush for blending, an angled eyeliner brush, and flat ones for patting on creams or depositing colour. Will be looking into the 217 dupes like the Hakuhodo. I've been super curious about the Wayne Goss brushes too.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15329167236001514491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589727970044632991.post-89373025499008131072014-05-20T08:35:05.905-04:002014-05-20T08:35:05.905-04:00Oh, thanks for weighting in on this, Sunny! Yeah, ...Oh, thanks for weighting in on this, Sunny! Yeah, seems to me like 217 must be more along the lines of the Sigma and bdellium brushes in my collection - but as you say, with the constant decline in MAC brush quality, I won't be picking one up to compare. But maybe like you, I should look into Hakuhodo J5523!Monika @ RocailleWriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18117181518300212515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589727970044632991.post-21412136065989381662014-05-20T08:11:17.424-04:002014-05-20T08:11:17.424-04:00Hey Monika, I have Wayne Goss 06 but I can tell yo...Hey Monika, I have Wayne Goss 06 but I can tell you it's not identical to MAC 217! It's sad that the quality of MAC brushes is no longer the same, because I do love my 217! A friend recently went on a trip to Japan, and she's bringing back a Hakuhodo J5523 for me. I'm hoping it's the 217 dupe that everybody says it is! I also own the LMdB crease brush, but it is not as versatile as 217.Sunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00409850103638680902noreply@blogger.com
