We all use makeup brushes on a daily basis but no one really pays any attention to them (well I don't), I mean they're just there and they're used and then put back until they're cleaned. At least thats what I used to think but since I'm on a mission to find the perfect base makeup I keep trying to find different ways to apply my makeup rather than just using my fingers (not the most glamorous I know) and in doing so I've fallen in love with the Real Techniques brushes.
Real Techniques are makeup brushes by Sam Chapman (one half of Pixiwoo, makeup artist and famous Youtuber) and are such amazing quality! The brushes are extremely soft with synthetic bristles and affordable for all, the cost varies for each brush depending on size etc which is understandable and sometimes its better value to buy the sets. The Core Collection set is priced around £20 and includes 4 brushes making it what, £5 for a brush that'll last ages? Definitely worth it!
Although the brushes are individually named as you might be able to see in the above photo I barely take any notice of what they're meant for and swap them about a bit for example the blush brush is way too big for my face so I alternate using it as an all over face powder brush, that and my contour brush are my absolute favourites out of the selection I have - its more of an egg shape and honestly the perfect size for me. The detailer brush (the tiny one) can also be used as a lip brush or concealer brush, total multi-tasker.
Its also handy that brushes are colour cordinated, gold means the brushes are used for base products, pink for 'your finish' and purple for eye products and I also love that they can stand upright. I hate leaving brushes down in case they make surfaces messy when I'm rushing around like a headless chicken trying to get ready (having white furniture does not help) I also want to excuse myself for the state of my contour brush, its safe to say its looking a little bit used. Anyways I hope you enjoyed this, I really can't recommend these brushes enough :)
Thanks for reading, Jenny xo
P.s do you own any Real Techniques brushes? If so, what are your favourites?
I'm so tempted to try these, i only have one foundation & blusher brush that are old now so i could do to update my makeup bag :)

I'd definitely recommend them, if you're thinking of updating the expert face brush from this range is meant to be perfect for liquid foundation :) Jenny xo

they're amazing! so lucky, i've still a few to complete the set like the expert face brush :) I feel the same, such an essential xo
DeleteI really want to either get these brushes or the Zoeva ones, I can't decide x

I haven't tried the Zoeva ones but I really want too as well, you could always try one or two brushes from both and see what you prefer :) xo
DeleteI have the same brushes and I love them!. Never used to pay attention to brushes either but when my makeup was streaky I decided I better start looking for new brushes. My favorite is the buffing brush from the core selection and stippling brush!

I still have to get the stippling brush, I've heard its perfect for applying cream blush! brushes just don't seem to get as much attention as they should xo
