Real Techniques Blush and Powder Brushes.





Real Techniques Powder Brush (£10.99) and Blush Brush (£9.99) from Superdrug (currently buy one get one half price).

I've been wanting a new blusher brush for a while as I've realised that using my Real Techniques Contouring Brush isn't ideal (it's great for contouring though- duhhh). When I saw these bad boys were on offer in Superdrug I took my chance. All Real Techniques brushes are amazing quality- they're super soft and hold they're shape even after hundreds of washes. They're super user friendly and I honestly think they're the best brushes around.

The Blush Brush is a nice change from the typical angled blusher brushes you find on the high street. This is perfectly shaped for applying product to the apples of your cheeks. It's super soft in terms of both it's hairs and the shape of it. The Powder Brush is my fave of the two! It's super densely packed so it's perfect for packing on powder all over the face, but again the hairs are soft so it's not offensive or bristly. Buying these two brushes has further cemented my love for Real Techniques and I can wait til they launch more brushes that I can buy! What's you're fave RT brush? I think mine is their Expert Face Brush- let me know in the comments below! Thanks for stopping by x

My Makeup Brushes.



I'd thought I'd share with you what makeup brushes I use on a daily basis. This isn't the extent of my brush collection by any means but these are the brushes that live in my makeup bag. I'm a massive fan of the Real Techniques brushes, I think they're such good quality at a really reasonable price range. I use the Real Techniques Expert Face Brush to apply my foundations and BB/CC Creams. I find it really good for buffing in my bases products and giving a smooth even coverage. I also use it to buff out my concealer when covering spots and redness but I don't use it for under my eyes. I use the Real Techniques Contour Brush to contour (obs) and highlight and apply blusher. This means this brush gets quite dirty quickly so I probs wash this one the most and it's still in great nick! 

I use the Shu Uemura 18R to apply my powder and set my makeup, I was given a Shu Uemura brush set for my 21st birthday which I love! I then use the e.l.f Flawless Concealer brush to apply powder under my eyes and on blemishes. For my eyebrows I use this e.l.f Brow Wand and Primark Angled Brush to fill in and shape my eyebrows. I like the angled brush because it's quite dense making it good for packing product on. I use the rest of my brushes when I apply eyeshadow on off duty days! I use some for blendings and others for the crease. What brushes do you recommend? Thanks for stopping by x
