Real Techniques Brushes

The brushes are colour coded and correspond to the key steps of the make up application; gold to create a flawless base, purple to enhance eyes and pink for a perfect finish.

Since the brushes are synthetic and are taklon bristles, they are ultra-soft and smooth.  Taklon brushes are also more hygienic than real hair brushes because they do not trap dead skin cells or bacteria. Taklon hair makes them easier to clean. They also have aluminum handles which make them extra light too.

I bought two sets and also three individual standing brushes.

Stippling brush – my favourite brush! A dual fiber brush which creates an airbrushed look. I use in circular motions as if I am buffing in.

Foundation brush – probably the brush I use the least. I prefer to use the stippling brush as it is more flexible.

Blush brush – a dense brush designed to contour and define cheeks, it does exactly that!

Starter Set

An essential set to create eye definition;

Deluxe crease brush, base shadow brush, accent brush, pixel-point eyeliner brush & brow brush

1)             Base shadow brush - applies a smooth, flawless foundation of colour.

2)            Deluxe crease brush - an oversized brush designed for effortless contouring.

3)            Accent brush – a small brush designed for precision detailing, highlighting, and smudging.

4)           Pixel-point eyeliner brush – I found this brush to be too soft and not pointed enough, although there is a new fine liner brush which would be much better for applying liquid or cream eyeliner.

5)           Brow brush – easy to use to define your eyebrows.

If you are after affordable, quality brushes, then these are for you. They are easily washed and I haven't had any problem of shedding. I like the fact that most brushes are multi-purpose, easy to use and to put it simply, do their job!
