GP: Real Techniques Core Collection Brush Review

Hey! I'm Becky, you may know me from MyBeautyEdit  or you may not know me at all, so let's get started!

The Real Techniques Core collection brush set it made up of four brushes,  the contour brush, the buffing brush, foundation brush and finally a detailer brush.

At first I was slightly sceptical to buy them, simply because they were a tad pricey and you only get 4! But maybe thats just me being picky haha. Although I had heard some brilliant reviews about them, 'top quality!' and 'So dense and soft!' I just had to give them a whirl! So after bustling around in boots gathering all my money at the counter, they were in my bag! I went straight home and couldn't wait to try them out! I have to agree with the reviews they're so dense but not in the way they don't glide nicely but they weren't flimsy. They're smooth and really give a flawless look.

Let's begin with the contour brush shall we? I personally use this brush for blush, it is a really dense, small-headed brush, good for contouring with any powders that take ya fancy. The tapered end makes it precise for application. Some people say this brush is too dense, although I disagree, It glides over my skin well and isn't difficult to apply product.

The Buffing Brush is a fantastic brush, it is well-balanced in density and flexibility, which makes it perfect for blending liquid foundations. This brush is great for a natrual, flawless look that blends out product evenly. 

Onto the Pointed foundation brush, although a lovely soft brush, I find its too small for me.. I personally would use this for blending concealer or perhaps even creamy eyeshadows. All in all, a good brush although it mainly sits in the brush pot for me... 

The Detailer Brush, what a little wonder! I use this for the inner corners of my eyes or to apply subtle lip product, as I always mention- I don't use lip products often, so I mostly use it for a little bit of shiny, silver/white powder to go on the inner corners of my eyes. I occasionally use this for concealer if I'm feeling a little artsy fartsy with my make up but, brushes are such an effort to clean! Am I right or am I right? 

For £21.99 for a set of brilliant 4 brushes, its fantastic! although if I could pick and choose, I'd probably swap the foundation brush for another Real Techniques brush. My favorite has to be the buffing brush, the queen of all make up brushes.

I hope you enjoyed my little post! Thank you Rachael for letting me write to your readers, I hope I didn't babble too much :/ If you'd like to please do check out my blog
