Real Techniques blush and expert face brushes

Real Techniques Blush brush and Expert face brush.

I finally purchased myself some Real Techniques brushes. After seeing alot of hype about these brushes on other beauty blogs and needed to purchase a new foundation brush (My Gosh one was 4 years old and should have been binned a few years ago!) I decided to treat myself to the Expert face brush (£8.99) and the Blush brush(£9.99).

Real Techniques brushes have been created by Pixiwoos Samantha Chapman. Sam's a make up artist and also a beauty blogger.

The blush brush has the most beautiful soft bristles I've ever used. There made entirely of taklon and are synthetic. They aren't scratchy on the skin they glide along perfectly. The brush itself deposits colour evenly onto the cheeks and picks up the perfect amount of product. I've used it with a variety of different blushes in different pigmentation's. Even with the highly pigmented colours this brush picks up a perfect amount to allow you to build up the colour needed on your cheeks. It also blends the colour perfectly out so your not left with any harsh lines. 

The expert face brush has become a holy grail item for me. I am in love with this brush. As with the Blush brush it has taklon bristles and they are the softest of the soft. Its a firm bristled brush which blends foundation effortlessly on to the skin. I've tried all my liquid foundations with it and have found that I use less product due to how well the brush deposits foundation. I also found that this brush blends my dream matte mousse perfectly, normally to blend that in without it being cakey or patchy I have to use my fingers. This brush also blends without leaving those annoying tell-tell  brush lines, it gets into every part of the face perfectly. I use this for everything but powder it blends my Mac studio finish concealer like a dream without taking too much product of my skin like some other brushes can do it keeps the extra coverage I want. I also use it to blend my Urban Decay Afterglow cheek tint, normally I use my fingers but I always find I go a little overboard. Using this gives I need less product and get a better over all finish. 

The brushes are free standing which makes for easy storage. They have perfect sized handles which help with control. They're so easy to grip and are perfectly weighted. 

Overall the Real Techniques brushes are great, I'm hooked and will for sure be putting them on my wish lists!

You can purchase them at your local boots or here!
