Sculpting Must-Have.

Sculpting Brush 

‘Featuring a wide, angled head, specifically designed to help create defined contours, the sculpting brush is a must-have in your makeup bag to enhance your natural features, or to modify the shape and look of your face. Use with cream or powdered bronzers to define and contour the hollows of the cheeks. Apply a light sweep of blush for a soft rosy finish’

There has been so much buzz about the new Real Techniques Bold Metals Brush Collection that their two new brush releases appear to have gone unnoticed. I am a massive Real Techniques fan, and I own every single one of their brushes but I have absolutely no interest in paying high-end prices for their Bold Metal brushes, as they just don’t seem worth the £20+ each price tag! Therefore, I'm very happy to see that Real Techniques are still adding to their original brush line up.

The Real Techniques Sculpting Brush is one of the two new brushes, and it is the answer to your contouring prayers, and I know this is going to be a massive seller for Real Techniques. The bristles are shaped into narrow oval, which is what makes it so effective for contouring as it fits into the hollow of the cheek perfectly. The bristles are quite dense so it can both apply your contour powder or cream of choice as well as being able to blend it in too. What I particularly like about this brush, is that the head is quite small, so you can go as subtle or intense as you like and you can even use it for all over bronzing, or precise blush application.

If you're a contouring newbie, I think this brush is definitely worth a shot as it's pretty foolproof as it does all of the hard work for you and you really can't go wrong. You could even use this brush to apply powder or highlighter due to the precise shape so it's a real multi-tasking brush and a total steal at just £9.99. Just like all Real Techniques brushes, the bristles are incredibly soft and they're so quick and easy to wash and dry which is always a massive bonus. 

Overall, this brush is incredible! Its super soft and works wonders with my new NARS Contour Blush. Like the rest of the face brush range, the sculpting brush is sturdy, dense and super soft. I've also given this a wash and it doesn't shed - I find Real Techniques original brushes are pretty well made.
