Real Technique Sam's Pick Brushes


Real Technique have undertaken a huge following over the past couple of years and I included highly recommend their brushes due to the amazing quality. Although for some people they may come across as slightly expensive the diverse range truly makes up for this. Another important factor is that the Real Techniques Brushes are so soft due to the fact of their cruelty free bristles and once washed they keep the shape and their softeness which is amazing.

The set in which I am currently in love with is the Real Techniques Sam's Picks Make up Set. This is a limited edition range, the set contains six full size brushes which retails for £29.99. The set includes two Base brushes which are the Buffing Brush and the Pointed Foundation Brush, two Finishing Brushes which are the Setting Brush and the Multi-Task Brush and Lastly two Eye brushes which would be the Essential Crease Brush and the Fine Line Brush.

 




The Multi- Task Brush was the biggest brush within the Real Technique Sam's Picks Set, RT says that it could be used as a blush or bronzer brush, however I felt that it would be too big to be used as a Blush but would be more suited to a Powder Brush, as it helps to secure my makeup in place for the whole day. This brush gives you a light even coverage which is perfect for everyday wear makeup.




The Setting Brush can be used as a highlighter or even an under eye concealer. Although I prefer to use it as a blush brush, I particularly don't like big brushes as my blush as I prefer petite brushes to go on the apples of my cheeks so it can be easier to apply the blush. This brush is extremely soft and very light meaning that the bristles are not dense making it so perfect to use as a blush.









The Buffing Brush has to be my favourite brushes out of the Real Technique Set. As the bristles are nearly flat this is perfect for applying foundations, as the brush allows you to buff the foundation onto the face effortlessly, it can also be perfect for blending tinted moisturiser , primer and any other cream products. I would certainly recommend this product as it certainly makes the foundation last longer if you apply the primer before hand.





The pointed Foundation Brush is described by Real Technique of being good to use with liquid foundation and to be able to build the custom coverage. I felt that this brush had a better use of becoming my concealer brush it works exceptional for under the eyes. The method in which I do this is I use the tip of the brush to apply the concealer to my skin and then use the flat sides of the brush to blend it in. This brush is amazing for blending in tricky areas like the nose, this can also be a good tool for highlighting.


The Essential Crease Brush is a flawless blending brush on the crease of the eyelid, the bristles have been cut to a relatively stiff way but however does have softness within it like the other brushes. I hope to be using this product more in the up and coming months due to the fact I'm wearing eye shadow on occasion, so I would need to try this product out more to create a better view upon this brush. However after the few times I have used it I do adore this brush and wish to carry on using it more.

The Fine Line Brush, this brush is to be used as a eyeliner brush as it has unique precision as the bristle is hard but it is long in length meaning that it could take time to get used to for some people. I can not also comment much on this product as I have not used it yet and is only going by other reviews of a variety of people, I hope that this brush leads up to its expectations as I only wear liquid eyeliner on occasion so I shall have my opinion ready when I use it myself.


I honestly feel that this brush kit is the best Real Technique have released and I am so pleased to have this set as it is a limited edition. As you get six amazing quality brushes which are cruelty free with such soft bristles. As these brushes are a set of size and retailing at £29.99 this would mean that each brush would only cost £5, I personally feel this is amazing value as the results of the brushes are astounding. I also feel that this set would be perfect as a starter kit as it has every brush that you would want starting off your makeup collection brushes. These brushes are easy to wash and very quickly to dry which is good as you would want to have the brushes dry asap. I would highly recommend buying this set.



Lastly to mention that sorry that the photos of my brushes are not clean, I do clean them every couple of days but I  completely forgot to clean for the review.Thank you for reading, I hope to hear opinions on what you thought about Real Techniques Sam's Picks.
