Real Techniques Expert Face Brush

I bought this brush in september and I've used it nearly everyday since.


This is what the brush looks like. It says the name of it on the side facing up but the flash is washing that out.

The first time I tried this brush I was horrified by the results. It put on so much product and didn't blend any in. I was so confused because I had watched Pixiwoo use this brush perfectly. I somewhat cast it aside as a fail for a couple days and went back to using my sponge.

After a while, however, I tried it again using the smallest bit of foundation possible. And then I fell in love. I realized that the amount of product I was using before was because I was using a sponge and, although wet, it still absorbed a lot of the foundation. So dipping this brush just barely into the foundation worked beautifully.


The tip is rounded and pinched into an oval shape.

I find that with this brush, unlike a flat top, it's easiest to use it like a traditional foundation brush and paint on the foundation and then blend. It doesn't work as well for me if I start with swirls.

Lastly, I haven't had a single 'hair' come loose or fall out. I wash it about every two uses and it comes clean easier than a traditional foundation brush even though this brush is thicker.

Where can you get one? Well, it's a UK based item and brand so it's not extremely easy to find. Ulta and Ulta.com both have it for sale. But I got mine on Amazon.
