I love the 217, it's very versatile. The 222 is great for crease work but not too much else imo.

Good Luck!

i'd say both because you can use them for diff situations

the 217 is a great brush for blending and getting a smooth finish as ppl have sd when using it to apply concealer and paints and whatever else

the 222 is a wonderful crease brush becaue it is like a long cylinder it deposits maximum color and really buffs the color out

both are great brushes and are good investments

i love my 217 for emollient based products and for patting down color into them- it's my favorite brush to work pigments into a cream color base

217 all the way! I own both brushes, but I get more use out of my 217 as it's much more versatile. It's lovely for an allover wash for both cream and powder shadows, good for blending, good for soft creases, good for concealer. Really, I think the list of what it's not good for is shorter than what you can use it for. It's fabulous! I want a second one!

If I ever had to pair down my brush collection to include only a few eye brushes, my 217 would make the cut, but my 222 would not. The 222 is a good crease brush, but it just can't compare to usefulness of the 217.

For controlled eye shadow application. This brush has soft fibers which taper to form a medium size dome shape.

i don't have this yet...now i am very interested

the 222 is much slimmer and better for defining the crease.
i agree, the 224 is a great all around brush, amazing for when traveling so you don't need to bring an arsenal of brushes!!
