You are so thorough. :) <br /><br />I am trying to replace some of my brushes that I have had for a long time. However, I have purchased new brushes for different uses (i.e. G527, G5520, B505, and B133). I want to replace a fluffier shader brush that I have that looks similar to the Bobbi Brown eye sweep.

I'm not surprised that a true dupe for the MAC 217 would be a conflict of interest.

I read that the MAC 109 is identical to the 210. Oh well, I don't want Hakuhodo to have any legal issues.

It buffs the powder right in and gives that "glossy" look to my skin, I love it so much for a really natural look. I am liking the Yachio for placing color where I want it, then I use the 210 for blending. The Yachio blends well, but not as good as the 210 but does a better job at depositing color where I want it. cgr1129https://www.blogger.com/profile/17161571249379346759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1455649611035614739.post-69884472597870466612012-02-13T17:54:22.454-08:002012-02-13T17:54:22.454-08:00I had heard that it picked up a lot of pigment-- t...I had heard that it picked up a lot of pigment-- thank you for confirming that!
