PRODUCT REVIEW: "REAL TECHNIQUES BRUSHES"

Hey everyone! It's been a very long time since my last post. I apologize for not updating my blog since last year been busy with my little one and my job. Anyhoo, I'm freakkkiinnnnn' back! I seriously miss blogging and sharing cool and fun stuff with you guys. So to start of, I have an awesome review for you today.

I purchased two (2) real techniques brushes, I think almost a week or two ago. I have the 1.) Expert Face Brush and the 2.) Stippling Brush. Bought those two awesome brushes from an online shop from Instagram. Bought it for Php 500.00 or $11.65 each! Really cheap compared to other online shops who sell it for Php750.00 or $17.48 each. If you guys are interested to buy some just comment down below and I'll provide the link of the
online shop or you can just search it from the Instagram "Sassyfabshop". Okay so let's proceed with the review.





I am really into makeup brushes. For me, I'd rather pay for the quality since it will give the best makeup finish because for me "Behind a great makeup is a great hand with the perfect brush." Real Techniques has been known for it's good quality and cheaper price compared to other makeup brushes like Mac, Sigma and Bobbi Brown.





I am totally in-love with these two brushes! Really soft and it really gives that flawless makeup finish. Hence, I am expecting more from the Expert face brush to be really good in buffing foundations but I found out that the brush is too small for applying foundation. It is denser enough to help you buff your foundation but you will take some time to finish your entire face to do it. So, I'm not really using it for foundations, I'm actually using it for contouring my face. The shape of the Expert face brush is perfect for contouring your cheek bones, jaw lines and your temples. You just have to dab the contouring powder very lightly since this brush tends to get a lot of product because it is super dense. Cream type product is the best for this kind of brush like the Chanel bronze universel. I'm gonna look for something else to make this brush work out for me, rate this brush for 3/5.





This is my favorite purchase! I love how  the synthetic bristles of the brush being tack as a stippling brush. I use this for applying liquid foundation or sometimes cream blushers. You will have that "airbrushed finish look" with this brush. Although this is not my favorite foundation brush (it is still the round kabuki or the flat top kabuki brush) because with this kind of brush, you are not actually buffing the foundation into your skin, you are just stippling it on top of your skin (if that makes any-sense.) But I will rate this brush 4/5 because I love how it works for me although it has some shedding issues.




Here's a closer look of the brushes! (Left: Stippling brush Right: Expert Face brush)




Maybe I will try the Powder brush and the Setting brush next time. Not actually a fan of their "core or starter" set collection, I find out that some of the brush in the collection is not really helpful.
