Welcome back to my blog, I hope you are having a wonderful day and had a great week, and I hope you are looking forward to reading my blog post this afternoon. I have been wanting to talk about my Real Technique brushes for a very long time but have finally decided to sit down and talk about them with you guys. I am only going to talk about five of them, but have plenty more to discuss about. I am going to be talking about the good and bad of the brushes, as well as the price and what they are used for. Some quick background info about the brushes is the different handle colour. The silver and white handled brushes are limited edition, but the silver handle ones I have are still available, the orange coloured handle is for face, purple for eyes and pink for all over. Some of the brushes I own I got in sets and you can not get individually but these are brilliant brushes and great for beginners in makeup and every cent is worth it, but I would recommend getting them off a website called iHerb because they are so much cheaper compared to Priceline and Terry White Chemist. I will talk about iHerb more in tis post like the price comparison and shipping as they are an incredible website for us makeup brush loving ladies. With all that background information being said, lets get started with the review.
The first brush is the Buffing Brush. This is perfect to blend in your foundation or concealer to begin with, but you should definitely use a makeup sponge to give the face product a flawless finish, because it can leave some streaks. This is also great for blending out powder but it is a little denser if you prefer that. This could also be great to blend out cream contour as it is dense and perfect shape. This brush is apart of a set with three other brushes, two of which I am mentioning in this blog. At Priceline, this set is called Your Base/Flawless Core Collection, and it is $47.50, and on the iHerb website, the set is $24.92, so it is much more affordable. Shipping is also at a great price, and you get 10% of your first order.
A Duo-Fibre face brush is something everyone needs and this one is by far my fav! I use this brush everyday to blend in my powder and it works excellently. It is so stunning with the silver handle because it is limited edition, but I have seen that it is still available so you can still pick this up. This set is called Nic's Picks, and I noticed that is unavailable on the Priceline website, but I do know that there are plenty of other places they sell them at, and it is worth checking it out at Priceline just in case, but I do know that it cost $69 for the five brushes. You can get this on iHerb and it cost $41.54 so it is so much more affordable.
Available in the Core Collection I mentioned earlier, is the Pointed Foundation brush. This isn't my favourite brush, but it an okay brush. It leaves streaks and is not suitable to do a full face of foundation as it is so small but I do suggest using this for concealer or primer as it would take so long to do your full face of foundation with this. I mentioned earlier the prices, even though this isn't my favourite brush this collection is still worth it.
Another brush available in the Core Collection is the Contour Brush. I love this for contouring or lightly bronzing. It is also the perfect shape to set under eye concealer as all the Real Technique brushes are incredibly soft! It blends out bronzer incredibly well and packs it on well too! Like I said earlier, the price comparison of iHerb and Priceline is listed above.
My last brush I am mentioning in this blog is the Shading Brush. This is the perfect blending brush and basic lid brush as well. It packs on lots of product and blends it out effortless and soft. This I my favourite eye shadow brush and I definitely recommend it. On the Priceline website, this brush is $15! Where as you can get it on iHerb for $8.30, so this is so much more affordable.
So, that was my review of my five Real Technique brushes. If you want to see me reviewing five more of my brushes I would love to know! If you recommend any other brushes I would love to know in the comments as well. I hope you guys have been enjoying my blog, I have loved posting lately and have so many fun post planned for the up coming months.
See you next Sunday!
