Real Techniques Foundation Brush

I was worried it might be a fake or copy, but its exactly the same, it is Real techniques brush. Nice brush to use when applying makeup

Although advertised for the application of foundation, this is the optimum size and shape for contouring. The tip is 1cm wide, with the inner hairs 5mm wide, 3 cm in depth (across the angle), and 2-3 cm in length. Because of its small size and shape, its extremely versatile. I use powders, but I don't see why it couldn't work equally well with liquids.As a man with prominent bone structure, I contour to accentuate my favourite features, and many brushes are too large or spherically shaped to apply precise contouring. Smaller brushes don't allow for continuity as application with small brushes and blending with larger brushes also disperses the product outwards too much - thats fine for blending bronzer/blusher, but absolutely not right for contouring - a different kind of blending is needed.The dainty inner hairs along the tip allow for delicate contouring for a natural cat-eye, the depth of the hairs allows for excellent precision contouring on the nose - so fine in fact the it barely needs blending out (if you're delicate with how you apply the product to the brush), and for defining cheekbones and temples - applying the contour in soft thin lines, and then sweep through making use of the angle allows for the most natural and precise contouring I've ever done. I've used all sorts of applicators, and brushes from different brands, and this is absolutely my top suggestion for contouring.I use MAC's Coquette eyeshadow - its a cool-toned dusty mauve/brown, and when blended well, has worked with varying shades of skin (both my own pale and tanned, and on others). Please don't contour with bronzer, its a separate layer with a different purpose, and I certainly wouldn't suggest this brush for bronzing.Again - for contouring, hands down it'll be your new beauty must-have.

I'm absolutely in love with this brush. It applies foundation really well and it's really easy to keep clean and sanitised. Definitely worth the money!

Great foundation brush, no loss of hairs. Colour of handle was orange and black, but it does state colour may vary. The brush quality is exactly the same as the pink one, so if you don't mind what colour then you will be happy 😊

I love these brushes. You simply can't get the same finish with any other brush or sponges and I've accumulated alot of brushes over the years, including Mac, no7, bobby brown but these are my favourite. I'm not an expert at putting make up on but these make it so easy!!

Just what I wanted

Great coverage of foundation using this brush, easily cleaned with warm water. Would definetly recommend this product

I find this brush slightly smaller than the QVC I was previously using and although the bristles are very soft, I kinda don't like that when applying foundation. It feels abit flimsy when your applying foundation. I admit the shape is great for applying round the nose and mouth though. Maybe I'm comparing this too much to my old foundation brush, and perhaps it will grow on me. But not my fav so far!
