The “New” MAC 224 Synthetic Tapered Blending Brush…

Hey, can I borrow your hot tub/DeLorean time machine for an hour? Pretty please?

I need to get back to 2017 or, really, any time before MAC revamped their brush line and changed so many of their classic brushes. Like this one: the 224.

If you say “yes,” I’ll babysit your cat or bake you brownies. What do ya say? Deal? 🙂

MAC 224S Synthetic Tapered Blending Brush ($34)

I wish I could stock up those old 224s because — HELLO, CRANKY PANTS — this new version is scratchy and stiff, several of the bristles have fallen out, and the ferrule is already loose.

Such a bummer, too, because the old-school 224s are beasts. I have two that are more than five years old and still going strong, but they’ll have to be replaced sooner or later.

If MAC doesn’t bring back the O.G. non-synthetic version, or otherwise fix this one, my plan is to eventually spring for either another NARS #42, which is $32 and BOMB, or the Chanel blending brush, which is $36.

Oh, well.

❤️ 1 out of 5 hearts.
