What are your MAC must have eye brushes?
I have teh 222, 224, and 272. What do you like/dislike about those? What do you use them for?

If you don't use/have those, what are your must-haves and what do you use them for?

I love the 272! It's good for pretty much everything (lid, crease, blending), so I use that one most often. I've got a crease brush that's more dense, if I want stronger color (it's not by MAC, though), but I usually just use the 272. It is a really great brush!

I want a good eyeliner brush, but I'm not sure which one to go for. I think maybe the 212 (flat definer) is what I'm looking for. I've already got the 266, but it doesn't do a fine line, so I can really only use it for eyebrows.

Oo thanks for telling me that the 266 doesn't do fine lines-I'm thinking about getting the 263...

for me:

*208* for fluidlines and lining (i had the 266 but it just doesent work as well for me. the 208 is smaller and gives me better control, it makes lining with fluidlines SO easy!)
*116* for blush and skinfinishes
*242* for paints, eyeshadow and concealer (i looove this brush!)
*213* for eyeshadow, brow bone and light wash wash

I love the 239 for packing color on the lid and the 272 for the crease area. I love the 224 if i'm doing a quick swish of color and the 259 for blending...

Is the 239 pretty much the same as the 272 besides the angle?

I love the 239 for packing on color, 224 for blending. I like the 266 for my brows. As someone already said, it won't create a very fine line UNLESS I apply Brow Tech first then shadow. I use the Sephora angled brush for Fluidlines. I don't have a crease, so I don't need a brush for my crease.

219!!

it's a little 'pencil' brush, awesome for giving a really defined crease, and also if you want to put some color underneath your eye as well.
