Authentic Mac 225 natural hair large blending brush

Authentic, Discontinued Mac 225 Large blending brush without sleeve. Made from very soft squirrel hair. Brush is unused but the ferrule has signs of wear from storing it with a brush guard. I was unaware brush guards could do that if it on for a long time. Brush has never been used but I washed it being it was stored without a sleeve. This was a backup and the one I use is one of my favorites. I use it to get a wash of color look, for targeted highlighter and I use it to set me eye primer and under eyes. So soft and distributes a perfect thin layer of powder. I have yet to find a brush that does what this brush does. Mine is showing zero signs of wear so I realistically don't need a backup. Think it would better to part with it and have someone hopefully enjoy it as much as I do. Can find it cheaper on the Merc- ari app. No low ball offers please. Please allow up to 48 hours to ship. I need the time to arrange for someone to pack and ship for me as I'm disabled. Thank you for your patience 😊
