I've always used the cheap, bog- standard supermarket style own brand that never last. I decided to change my ways and start investing in brushes that really will help me to complete my look. I've read a lot of good things about real techniques and when I saw the core collection on offer on Amazon I thought they were worth a try.
Real techniques is owned by beauty gurus Sam and Nic Chapman and is available in all major drug stores (or on Amazon). There core collection set consists of four brushes; a detail brush for precision, a pointed foundation brush for liquid foundation, a buffing brush for powder and a contour brush for, you guessed it, contouring! The set also comes with a stand for the brushes.
I AM IN LOVE with the buffing brush. It's perfect for applying powder over the skin and can get every area of the face. I've found that by using this brush, my make- up stays set for longer as the brush has actually applied the powder to my face.
In terms of the detail brush, I really like it's small so I've found it perfect for concealing blemishes. I just apply the concealer to the blemish and then use this brush to blend it. It's the perfect size.
I've got to admit I was expecting big things from the foundation brush but I was a little disappointed. It's very small compared to other foundation brushes so it takes a long time to apply foundation to the whole face. However I will say I love using this for applying foundation under my eyes and on my nose as it's smaller and more precise.
Finally the contour brush. I absolutely love this. It's kind of pointed at the top which makes it perfect for contouring. The tip makes application precise and makes sure that your make- up goes exactly where you want it.
Overall, I am converted. I am loving these brushes! They are so soft and make doing my make- up so much easier. I will definitely be buying more.
Talk to you tomorrow, Chloe xx
