Real Techniques Core Collection First Impressions

I have been wanting this set ever since i bought my stippling brush and i finally got it, i couldn't wait to try out my new brushes so that night i removed all my make up so i could re apply with the brushes.

I only wanted the set for one brush and that is the buffing brush so when i tried out the others i was surprised at how much i like them.

I'm now using the buffing brush for my foundation and the stippling brush for blush and highlighter. The buffing brush for me gives a much better finish than the stippling brush its not as cakey and leaves your skin feeling like skin.

The contour brush is another of my faves it is shaped really nicely and picks up just the right amount of product.

The foundation brush is probably not going to get used that often but im going to have a play around with it n see how i like the finish.

And finally the detailer brush i think i'm going to use this for lipstick or try it as an eyeshadow brush.

Let me know what other uses you have found for the foundation brush and detailer brush just leave a comment

My Thaught's on Real Techniques Stippling Brush (help wanted)

OK so i have been using this brush over the past 6 days, i was so excited to get it home and try it, i used it with my normal foundation and a few others but every time i do use it i feel its left my face a bit cakey now i don't know weather i just need 'practice' using it to get the technique right or is it  the foundations i have been using I'm stuck.

I'm trying so hard to like this i will still keep using it even though I'm not 100% happy with the finish just so i can say i gave it a chance.

Have you got any tips on using this brush or have you done a youtube video i could watch

if so please leave the link in the comments for me i would really appreciate all the help i can get

thank you

Stippling Brushes V Buffing Brushes whats the difference?

 Every where i look people are using stippling brushes and because all the reviews are saying they are the best thing since sliced bread i now want one but which one. While i was looking online for one i also saw buffing brushes now what is the difference so i have seen 2 stippling brushes and 2 buffing brushes that i like but can not seem to choose between them as different people are saying different things about each of them so here they are

Real Techniques Stippling brush

This one is £11.99 buy it here which is kind of pricey for me but I've heard nothing but good reviews on this ones the bristles are shorter so i suppose it would be firmer and give a more flawless finish.

Real Techniques Buffing Brush

 The buffing brush comes in the core collection for £21.99 buy it here it is the last one on the right. You get 4 brushes which to me is better value for the price because in the set you also get a detailer brush, pointed foundation brush and a contour brush which are held in a handy case/stand.

Eco Tools Buffing Brush

This one is £9.99 buy it here and at the moment there is an offer on selected Eco Tools buy 1 get 2nd half price so i could get 2 brushes for about £15.00 i like the idea of Eco Tools with the whole earth friendly bamboo thing they do but is it worth it.

E.L.F Studio Stipple Brush

This is the cheapest one at just £3.50 buy it here and there are a tone of mixed reviews about it some are saying its amazing and others are saying the bristles are too long and they just fan out on your face but i have no idea!

I'm really looking to achieve that flawless airbrushed finish and haven't a clue which one to buy

have you tried any of these brushes and would you recommend any other ones for me to try

please leave a comment and let me know
