Real Techniques -
Core Collection
Ok, so these may look familiar to a
lot of you. They’ve pretty much taken over every blog site at some point or
another. Even though I own many of the individual ones, I didn’t see many
reasons to pay for the collections, because initially I didn’t think I would
use many of them. However, everyone keeps raving about the buffing brush
included within the set, and the contouring brush also looks pretty good.
Buffing brush - The world and they mama looooooooove this brush for foundation, and I have to agree that it is fabulously well-balanced in density and flexibility, which makes it perfect for blending liquid foundations. Even if you prefer another brush for liquid foundation, the Buffing brush is your ticket to a natural finish, blending out excess product for a far more natural look. I love this brush as much as the rest of the world.
Contour
brush - A beautifully
dense, small-headed face brush perfect for contouring with bronzing or
highlighting powders. The tapered end makes it brilliantly precise for accurate
application of product to define your features. It is arguably too densely
packed and short to act as a blending brush for cheek products but it applies
colour brilliantly.
Pointed
foundation brush
- I surprisingly like the smaller size of this brush, as it makes a great
concealer tool. However, I would probably be sitting in front of my mirror for
an hour if I chose to use this for foundation. It definitely has a place in
this collection, though, as it's a great basic brush.
Detailer
brush - It's tiny,
it's flat, and it’s tapered. You can't really ask for any more in a concealer
brush, but I find this brush redundant for my makeup routine. I have yet to
find a perfect place for this brush within my routine, however I’m determined
to find the perfect way to use it.
Other features that make this brush set standout is the softness of the Taklon hair used in the brushes, and also the little 2 in 1 stand and case. The set as a whole is clearly well thought out. As a collection, Real Techniques combines innovative new brush shapes with basic tools in an affordable set. Overall,
these are the best brushes I have ever used. They’re affordable and incredible; they’re just as
good as any other high-end make up brush. Another great thing to mention is how
easily they are to clean. I give them a really good, deep clean once a week, to
keep them in good condition, and they wash amazingly and dry super fast.
EVERYONE WHO DOESN’T OWN
THESE BRUSHES REALLY SHOULD DO!
This collection retails for £21.99, even though
you can sometimes pick it up cheaper with offers online and 3 for 2’s within
Boots. I actually got it for £15 when HQHair.com was having a massive discount
moment. Two more brush sets are available along with many separate brushes from
various worldwide online retailers and selected, larger Boots stores for those
within the UK.
