Real Techniques Brushes | Blush Brush

Hey guys! I'm back this evening with a post about my latest new purchase... The Blush brush by Real Techniques!



I absolutely love this line of makeup brushes and they are definitely the most "high end" brush brand that I own (bar one massive Ted Baker powder/bronzer brush that was included in a Ted Baker makeup set which my brother and sister in law bought me for Christmas in 2012). At the end of last year I used up the last of my summer birthday money to buy my first two RT brushes, the Stippling Brush and Expert Face Brush - in dire need of new products to try whilst also being fed up of constantly applying foundation with my fingers.

Both of those brushes have been used regularly and the Stippling brush is one I'm particularly fond of to use to apply L'Oreal Paris True Match liquid foundation, whereas the Expert Face brush I have found doesn't apply foundation as nice as first thought but during this week it's got a new use in applying clear powder all over my face to keep that dreaded shininess at bay.

In Boots today I was browsing the makeup brushes and after reading some reviews online last night and an exchange of texts from Grace it was soon a no brainer that this Blush brush was needed in my life. Currently the brush I own for applying blusher is a cheapo one (probably in a gift set from Boots many moons ago) and it sheds so bad. There's probably been times I've looked back at photos and there's actually been brush hairs from this brush on my cheeks and I've not even noticed! How embarrassing. From what I read online, the RT Blush brush can also be used for contour for bronzer, which is great. Its tapered top can really help get into the hollows of your cheeks for adding bronzer and then blend out using the rest of the brush, as well as probably being helpful to dust powder all over quick and effectively. Some bloggers have said it's too big for their face but I have chipmunk cheeks (which I hate) so it might work well with my chubby face, ha ha.



I am super excited to start playing with this new brush and hopefully achieve much nicer effects with both blushes and bronzes in the future compared to the cheapo items I've owned for goodness knows how long! It's just a gorgeous brush! I'm in love. Also at only £9.99 too it's a great investment for a brush of excellent quality, is Cruelty Free and will be perfect for on the go or carrying in your travel makeup bag because it's so multi functional!

Do you have a favourite Real Techniques brush?
