Hi all!!
Hi all!!
I am going to
review a makeup brushes set from Real Techniques designed by Samantha Chapman
and these brushes have made their strong mark when it comes to quality and
usage. Afterall, they have been designed by the makeup professionals
themselves. I bought these brushes some time back and love these. For
foundation, blushes I always prefer to use these brushes.
Price: 15.33 pounds or $18.

My thoughts: These are the best brushes I have used. They came in plastic
transparent box which contains a case that holds the four brushes. I loved the packaging,
very classy. The brushes are very soft and have a metallic gold lower part and
rubber grip which looks sexy and very soft to hold. Brand name/logo is endorsed
on the lower part with red colour
and brush name on the
other end. The brushes are very easy to wash as I use them almost every
day and they have not shed so far. Apart from that, these brushes are very
travel friendly as instead of taking whole plastic box I put on dual carrier n
put in my makeup box. Also very light
weight. These are
made of Taklon bristles which are synthetic therefore 100% cruelty free. They
are really very soft and smooth on the face and always deliver perfect flawless
results.

I
will describe these in detail now.
Buffing brush: Buffing brush is a dome shaped slight wide brush with enough density of
the bristles. With its soft bristles, this buffing brush picks up the product
well and gives a flawless application of the foundation, evenly distributing the
foundation all over the face and blending it nicely. Due to this there is no
cakiness or patches. I use it to apply Mac Fix Powder Plus foundation and it does a perfect job to buff
the product on my face.

Contour brush: Contour brush is an egg shaped
brush with soft and decently dense bristles. It can be used for highlighting
the cheekbones, contouring and to dab some loose powder underneath the eyes to
set your concealer.

Pointed
foundation brush:
This brush is a tad smaller with a pointed end and when used on the
entire face, it can result in streakiness but if you will use it for particular
area like under the redness on your nose or on some blemishes then this can be
utilized fully where the larger brushes may not prove much of a help. This too
can be used to apply your liquid or even the powder/creamy foundation.

Detailer
brush: Like the name says, it is a brush that can be used for certain details
like highlighting the inner corners, or other places. It’s smaller than an eye
shadow brush size makes is a multipurpose brush. You can also use the same to
dab on some loose powder on the blemish you just concealer or even to apply the
concealer on a tiny blemishes you are trying to hide! The bristles are stiff
moderately so that they can be patted on the area properly without getting
bend. Other than that you can use it in
any ways you like.

Final verdict:
Real techniques Core Collection Brushes are value for money, if you
will compare it with any of the quality brushes like MAC, sigma etc. They soft,
dense bristles with slender handles make them delight to use. Even after using
and washing them so many times, they have not shed which make them an
investment. These are suitable for everyday use and even for beginners.

I ordered a brush set from the real techniques website and was able to select the shipping address as Delhi, India. My order is in the confirmed status and I have not received it yet. Have you guys tried ordering directly from the website now?
ReplyDeleteI have ordered from iherbs.com and my order came within a week but I was being charged custom duty of about 1800 bucks. The parcel came via DHL. i think you should contact them or mail them immediately and confirm the same.
