A week or so ago I finally broke down and purchased a few RealTechniques Brushes. I have been wanting them since the very first day they came out but I only was interested in a few. The reason it took me so long to get them is because my Ulta was always sold out. I know I could have purchased them online, and I probably should have but I go through phases where I don’t let myself online shop for makeup… If I let myself do that all the time I would get way to carried away… Regardless, let us rejoice for my Ulta to finally have them in stock. Not just in stock–BOGO50!!!
On one side of the brushes the brand is marked and on the other side the name of the brush itself is the detail. They are wider on the ends and flat so they stand up perfectly on their own. That detail also makes it a bit harder to store with your other brushes. The ferrules are colored aluminum. The brush hairs are made of synthetic taklon fibers. All of the brushes in the line are white on the tips. They are sold singularly and also in kits. I only have two brushes to show you. The Blush Brush and the Stippling Brush.
Blush Brush
Though this is called a blush brush, I feel like the size and fluffiness of the brush make this perfect for an all over powder brush. It is nice and tapered, a lot like a MAC 165–only larger and without a pointed tip. It almost looks egg-shaped. Because of the shape and size of the brush it can take over a lot of different functions. I would say this is a must-buy!
Stippling Brush
This brush is like a shorter bristled MAC 187. Because of the shorter hairs I feel like they are more dense and less bendy which can give you better coverage when stippling on foundation. While this is good for applying foundation, it is also good for other cream or liquid products like blushes or highlights. Another must-have from the line.
As you can see from the shot above these brushes are densely packed but have a scattered amount of white bristles poking up. Very characteristic of the line. Overall I would say that these brushes are nicer than I ever expected. I can kick myself for not having picked up these brushes sooner… Rest assured, RealTechniques brushes will become more prominent in my collection very soon. The creator, YouTube Beauty Guru: Samantha Chapman did a great job in designing these. I think they are great and I encourage you to pick some up. If you were on the fence I need you to throw the other leg over and purchase JUST ONE. You will then see that they are completely justifiable in price and quality.
