About a week ago I decided to buy one of the collections of The Real Techniques brushes. All of my other brushes were getting old and I had enough of them. I did really want to purchase some Real Techniques brushes because everyone goes on about them! There are three Real Technique brush collections and when I was looking around The Core Collection would be the one that would suit me best. It comes with four brushes, the buffing brush, the contour brush, the pointed foundation and the detailer brush.
The Buffing brush:
This is so soft and has so many bristles. It really does feel like a fluffy throw on your face. I use this for my foundation and powder. I do though especially love it to apply my foundation, it blends it in so well and easily. Also with the powder it doesn't make the powder give a cakey finish but more of a natural finish. I do like how all the brushes have the names of what they do as well. You know for sure what you are supposed to use the brush for.
The Contour brush:
To be honest I don't really tend to actually properly contour my face. Of course I do use bronzer near enough everyday but I don't use any other contouring kits or products. However when I did use this to do my bronzer, I didn't really like the look it gave on my face. You could hardly see the bronzer and it didn't apply very well. Since then I have not used this brush but I will try it out if I start to get more into contouring.
The Pointed Foundation brush:
Now this is a brush I do use everyday for school. As I don't wear foundation for school which is mainly because my school does not really allow make-up so we have to make our make-up as natural as possible. On this note actually, does anyone have any recommendations for make-up that looks natural? If anyone does please give me some suggestions in the comments below. Thankyouuuu..
Anyway I use this brush to do my concealer under my eyes and spots on my face. It really does blend well under your eyes and gets all of the darkness under there. I find that it is not as good for spots or redness on the face but still does work.
The Detailer brush:
I actually don't know what this brush is used for exactly. Is it used for concealer or the lips or I don't even know?? I do use this brush for my lips however, I put my lip liner on and lipstick and then use this brush to mix them both together. I find that it just gives such a better look and makes the lip liner and lipstick better. This brush really does blend the both together and I love it. Have been non-stop using it!!
I absolutely LOVE love the colour of the brushes as well! Am I the only one who is loving copper at the moment? So in my opinion I do really like the Core Collection. I do think though that some of the brushes are better than the other brushes in the collection just by what they do and how they apply the make-up. I would definitely recommend this collection. It has the brushes that you would use day to day and they don't give an unfinished look. If anyone of you have tried or do use these brushes then please let me know in the comments so I can know what you think of them as well!
Byee and see you soon x ERIN
