If there is one brand in the beauty industry that has gained a huge following in such a short amount of time and made an impact, then it is definitely Real Techniques.
Until recently I was really concerned about the tools I was using to apply my make-up, I would always buy cheap and then just replace it when it became a bit ropey. But, after stumbling across the pixiwoo channel on YouTube I took the advice of beauty guru Samantha Chapman and invested in a good quality make-up brush.
Until recently I was really concerned about the tools I was using to apply my make-up, I would always buy cheap and then just replace it when it became a bit ropey. But, after stumbling across the pixiwoo channel on YouTube I took the advice of beauty guru Samantha Chapman and invested in a good quality make-up brush.
I purchased the Real Techniques Stippling Brush, created by Samantha. Her aim was to create a professional set of make-up brushes that were easy to use. And, if I may say so, Samantha did a very good job of it!
For my first purchase I decided to go for a brush that would be a good all-rounder, which is why I purchased the stippling brush. The duo-fibre brush has short bristles meaning it is good for applying foundation, powder, blusher and highlighter. The brush also contains longer bristles, this is to ensure that the product does not clump, which also means the brush will be easier to clean.
My first impressions were that this brush would not blend my foundation in properly because the bristles are so soft, but I was wrong, I can now apply my foundation in record time. The brush is quite small in size, which I like, as it means that it is good for travelling with and is easy to hold. The shortness of the brush means that you can be more accurate with your blending.
A lot of thought has been put into this product which is why I am impressed with the little details, such as the shape of the handle. The end of the handle is a lot wider, it's almost an hourglass shape, which means you can stand the brush up on its end rather than having to chuck it into your make-up bag because it would leave product on your dressing table.
I've been using the stippling brush for just over a week now and it has not shed one bristle yet, this includes being washed.
If there is one downfall then it is definitely not related to this brush but perhaps the company. The products from Real Techniques are not readily available throughout the UK and will mean you will most probably have to buy them online. I purchased mine online from Boots, other stockists include Love-Makeup, Cocktail Cosmetics, Beauty Chamber and Cloud10Beauty.
The Real Techniques Stippling Brush is a good investment, although it is £10.99, it will definitely last you a long time and give you the perfect base to your make-up, mine looked flawless!
Is there a brush you would recommend from Real Techniques?
