REAL TECHNIQUES BRUSH REVIEW
So recently I bought some new Real Techniques brushes after hearing so many positive things about them. They are said to be soft, non-shredding and professional feeling. So I am going to test them out, try different looks and put them through their paces and let you know if all the fuss is about after all they are a little pricey.
The brushes I bought were a variety of face and eye brushes so I will split the review up depending on which one you are more interested in.
FACE BRUSHES
I opened up the package I was immediately pleased. They are a huge range of brushes to fit your needs. The buffing brush has a dense bristle and really evenly spreads and blend foundation without shedding much like the rest of the brushes.. It's top is slightly flat which allows it to fit the side of you face and even though the brush is chunky it can go into all the contours of your face. The contour brush is similar in texture with it being soft and relatively dense however has a tapered end. Personally I wouldn't use it as a contour brush as it is slightly chunky and when applying the highlights I want it to be relatively subtle and precise so I don't look streaky. Having said that I do love to brush but would use it more for blush, bronzer or powder. The foundation brush was a little bit of a surprise what with it being quite small and thin but it does the job of a Foundation brush and it equally tactile. the Detailer brush is very similar to the accent eyeshadow brush but more tapered. It is perfect for the day when you need to use that industrial strength cream concealer to cover those stubborn spots. It is so delicate and precise that is would also work perfectly with lipsticks to get a perfect shape and coverage. Over all the face brushes are great and are clearly of brilliant quality which makes the price really quite reasonable as they will last.

EYE BRUSHES
The eye brushes are equally as good as the face brushes in my opinion. I have never been the person who does overlay elaborate eye looks and only really use neutrals however when I'm feeling particularly adventurous I will do the odd smokey eye and strong brow. The base shadow brush is the perfect shape for the lid. It is quite dense and so it creates a good layer of colour on the lid smoothly as does the crease brush. The Crease brush is actually one of my favourite brushes despite the fact that I feel it is a little too dense and thick to do the crease line however it will do the job as well as being perfect for blending eyeshadow. My favourite use for this brush is actually for buffing in concealer as it is similar to the face buffing brush, equally dense and soft, however smaller. The Pixel Point Eyeliner brush is actually the only brush I don't see me using. It is, and I know I have said it for them all, very soft and thin however I don't use gel ever line and so I don't feel the need for it. Having said that if I ever did I would probably be more than happy to use it. Another one of the brushes is the accent brush which is perfect smudging under the eye so achieve that Olsen twin look which I am in love with. The brush is also perfect for highlighting under the eyebrow which really brings out your eyes and frames the face. When shaping and defining your eyebrows the Brow Brush is really perfect. The angle creates a very accurate shape to create natural shape and texture to your brows with this purple tinted and soft. I am over the moon with my purchase and providing I look after the brushes I hope to have them for a while. I really hope I encouraged you to consider the brushes as I truly do feel that they are great and couldn't much more highly of them.
