About a year ago, I discovered the makeup tools that definitely changed my entire life — or my makeup life. I have learnt that the right brushes make a great makeup and not necessarily the product itself. Well, of course the product is also very important but using the right brush makes a huge difference. The brushes that I discovered to be true magical workers for myself are the Real Techniques brushes. I wanted to have them for so long and I could not get them in Germany. So a friend of mine actually brought them back from the USA for me (Thank you, again). I started out with the Core Collection and the Starter Set. The Core Collection consists out of a contour brush, a pointed foundation brush, a detailer brush, a buffing brush, and a panoramic case. And the Starter Set consists out of a deluxe crease brush, a base shadow brush, a accent brush, a fine liner brush, a brow brush, and also a panoramic case.
In order to try out the brushes, I thought those two collections would be perfect. When I unpacked the brushes and first touched the bristles I was hooked. I have never touched any brush that was so soft as they are. I thought, if they are as good on the face, I have found the percent brush brand for me. And what can I say, they are truly amazing. Applying any kind of make up, concealer, powder, eye shadow, etc. is just amazing. They create such wonderful finish. And everything is so easy with them. I’m by no means good at doing my make up and I honestly do not wear a lot most of the times. But with those brushes, I started to be quite decent in comparison with my skills before. For example, I also was a one color eye shadow kind of girl, and now I love to do a multicolored smokey eye and it is really not that hard. Due to those brushes, I actually started to have fun doing my make up, because it finally looked decent and good. After I got the two collections, I had to get more. And I ordered them from their website (https://realtechniques.com/en/). I, now, have a pretty good collection of Real Techniques brushes and I love them all. But I do have some favorites and essentials which I believe are true miracle workers. And I will introduce them to you. I already mentioned the two collections — the Core Collection and the Starter Set. I still use those brushes most of the time. The ones from the Core Collection can be used in so many ways — from using for powder, blush, highlighter, bronzer, foundation, and concealer. For example, you are able to use the buffing brush for foundation, powder, highlighter, and bronzer. And every single time it gives you a great finish. The brushes from the Starter Set are mostly used for the eye makeup and you also can use them in different ways. I, for example, sometimes use the brow brush for a smoked liner or the deluxe crease brush for concealer. The next brush, that I absolutely love is the powder brush. It is just amazing. The 102 triangle concealer brush is the best brush to apply concealer due to it being shaped like a triangle. The setting brush is also one of my favorites, I most of the time use it with a very light powder in order to brighten up my under eyes or with a highlighter. The sculpting brush is perfect for highlighting, bronzing, and due to its shape also contouring. The last item that is very essential for me is actually not a brush but the miracle complexion sponge. This sponge is the best ever. It is just perfect for concealer and foundation.
Overall, all of the brushes I own from Real Techniques are amazing. They literally changed my entire makeup routine and life. For me they are the best. It is so easy to apply everything with them. And what I believe is the best about them is, they are quite affordable. You can buy them over their website, I believe they ship internationally. In Germany, you are able to buy them at Douglas. And in the United States, I think pretty mich every larger drugstore like Walgreens, CVS, etc. or Target or Walmart sells them.
At the end of this post, I have to thank Sam and Nic for inventing and selling those brushes. You two are geniuses. Thank you, thank you, thank you. They also have a youtube channel called pixiwoo. Go check that out as well, they are truly amazing!!
I hope you enjoyed reading and I talk to you soon!!
