i have Saks where I live. i want to use the 227 to apply shadow to my lid and also because i want it. i want to have all the full size MAC brushes. well, maybe not all of them. but definitely the brushes use to apply eyeshadows.

Re: Mac #227

I was able to buy this at a MAC counter at Nordstrom, just when I thought I wouldn't find it there.

I love this brush so much! At first I wanted it just because it looked pretty not knowing I will be using it a lot. Now, it's my fave all over lid brush!

Re: Mac #227

this is a must have. I ordered mine online. Never looked for it at counters.. so can't help you there, only help to enable you to get one

Love it for all over quick swipe of the lid for soft color/highlight on those days you are rushed; mine are usually like that lately anyway!
It is really full and dense. the 227 is what I wanted my 252 to be like.

Re: Mac #227

Thanks guys, I've been thinking about this brush for a while now. I like my 252 but I'm glad that you like the 272 better because the 252 is not quite doing what I wanted. I want to use it for a wash of color all over my lid from lashes to brow after I use UDPP. I do this with like Vanilla, Phloof or whatever I'm using that day and then I do my other colors. I think I will love this brush.

227? What do you use it for?

I just bought the 227 brush - silly though because it was a mistake - think i told the MA wrong number.

So anyways - it looks interesting. What do you guys think about this brush? What do you use it for???

Re: 227? What do you use it for?

I use it for applying a full wash of color on my eyes. It is also helpful if you are in a hurry and need to blend quickly, but not precisely. If you want precision, this is not the brush for you. But, I love to use it for slapping a color on my entire lid.

Also, sometimes if the colors I've applied are just too dark and I can't blend them enough, I'll lighten them with a swipe of vanilla piggie using this baby.

Re: 227? What do you use it for?

Thanks! I figured I'd keep it once I could figure out what it was used for. I'm trying this out as I speak. I'm especially loving that it does light/heavy blending. Its cool as a quick fix type brush. Very excited for the mistake

I love all my brushes equally

well maybe not equally but I love them all

Re: 227? What do you use it for?

Great Question! I need to use mine more often, but like rbella said, it's great for a wash of color, or I've heard it used as a brow bone highlighting brush, and some people even use it for concealer, for undereyes and the like. This is one of those brushes that can be used in many different ways!

Re: 227? What do you use it for?

I really like my 227 and not only because it's one of the cutest brushes IMO

I use it to apply an overall e/s to my lid, for browbone highlight and what I use it most is for cheek highlight, it's perfect for that!

Re: 227? What do you use it for?

I use it as a browbone highlight. My eyes are small, so it's perfect for adding color to the browbone and blending my crease/outer V color at the same time. I saw Leesha (xsparkge) using it in her YouTube vids, and I decided I had to have it. I'm so glad I did! I use it everytime I do my makeup.

I call it my turbo blending brush. That sucker can blend like nothing else sometimes!! I also do what rbella does with hers.

What a great idea! I never thought of doing that. I use my 227 for brow highlights and uber-blending for eyeshadows (after seeing Leesha (xsparkge) do the same on Youtube).

Omg I got this brush recently and it is so amazing. It is so exquisitely soft and feels luxurious to touch; like a dream on my skin. I've been using it to highlight under my brows mostly as it does the job really quickly and easily. It picks up colour really well, and is perfect for the mineralized shadows! I am so happy to have it in my collection >_<
