Rather than using my fingers to apply makeup the time has come to buy some brushes.The product comes in a retail box, meaning it would be ideal as a gift. It comes in a hassle free packaging.I bought the following:-1 x Real Techniques Concealer Brush1 x Real Techniques Expert Face Brush1 x Real Techniques Powder BrushWhen I went to the YSL shop, instead of paying £40 per brush I was advised that these Real Techniques brushes were as good as the YSL ones. Big praise for these 'cheap' brushes. As I had no bushes I was advised to buy the above as my 'core' set.The brushes feel and look great. The metal banding across the middle screams quality. The bristles are fine but strong.I'm not an expert at these things but having tried a friends and then the ones at YSL these are really up there with the best. My friends cheap ones smudged the foundation onto my face and the concealer brush left lines. These brushes however were faultless. Even for a someone with no experience with these things, I made it look easy!To all the haters out there who are screaming that the product is fake. Please check who is selling the product. The main seller is Bolo themselves. If you buy from another seller then I'd agree that they could be fakes however could you imagine what negative press would come from Bolo direct selling counterfeit products? I think Real Techniques would be instantly on the phone to trading standards and proceeding with their legal teams!All in all a great product.* If you have any questions then click my profile and drop me an Message and I will be happy to help you.[...]

5.0 out of 5 stars Does the job perfectly

I am very pleased with this brush. I bought it after seeing various makeup artists on YouTube using these brushes to apply foundation, including Pixiwoo. One of the Pixiwoo ladies is behind this range of brushes. The bristles are very dense and quite soft, so it is comfortable to use. It is absolutely brilliant for applying liquid foundation for a natural finish with no harsh line along the jaw line. If you use it with a light touch around the forehead and eye brow area and edges of the face, there are no tell tale thick patches of foundation.It blends very nicely around the eye area with the concealer I use for my dark eye circles. Also if you happen to apply a bit too much blusher you can gently buff over it with this brush and it will soften it a bit.The price is very good for the quality of the product and I would definitely recommend it over the flat style foundation brushes or sponges. Sponges absorb way too much of your expensive foundation, whereas this seems very economical. It also cleans easily with warm water and shampoo.

Amazing for blush or bronzer

4.0 out of 5 stars Soft, absolutely no hair loss

I've been using this to apply both heavy foundations and lighter blur creams. It's great at spreading evenly and doesn't absorb too much product. Great value for money too.Pros: good even distribution with no bristle lossCons: the brush head could be larger.

5.0 out of 5 stars Concealer brush

C. · 31 May 2025

It's easy to use, blends my concealer very well and I will say it's a good value for money as it does what it says because it's a good product for beginners

5.0 out of 5 stars Does what I need it to.

I use this brush to apply L'Oreal Age Perfect Makeup balm foundation. For the price, it does a surprisingly good job. No streaks, good distribution, and buffs well on my sensitive skin. The bristles have some density, and handle is nice in your hand. I think it's a reasonable price for what you get. (In the 8 pound range). In fairness, I didn't purchase it to be a workhorse brush. It fits my needs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best brush ever!!

A. · 17 April 2014

I have really sensitive skin. I use Bare Minerals mineral powder foundation and find that the BM brushes (Laura Gellar and Smashbox brushes too) make my skin itch and feel so sore, and after make up removal my face is red. I was starting to worry I was allergic to my BM powder. Buying this brush was my last attempt to try it. I have watching tutorials from Sam on you tube, and read reviews for this brush on here, Boots and Real Techniques website and decided to try this. WOW. I am not allergic to the product, it was the inferior brushes that caused the itching and redness! This brush is so soft, I gently buffed my whole face with no product on the brush, no redness or itching. The next day I used the brush to apply the powder like a dream, it held the product within the hairs and applied evenly and did not shed any hairs! Usually I have to wipe loose hairs from my face and top, but not one hair fell out! I am a difficult to impress beauty addict, but this brush totally impressed me. I can not be without it, and was such a reasonable price. I will be buying more RT brushes. Try this brush if you use mineral powder makeup, loose powder or bronzer. You will not be disappointed.

3.0 out of 5 stars Soft but already fraying bristles

Arrived in broken packaging and already fraying. Soft and good when working with powder.

Great for loose powder

Soft and fluffy so it applies very little product, avoiding a cakey, dusty look. Not more than 2 hairs fell out. I'll definitely buy this brand again

Ottimo !!!

Il miglior pennello per correttore che abbia mai usato fino ad ora ..In genere non mi trovo mai bene con i pennelli per applicare il correttore ma questo pennello è diverso… sarà la morbidezza e la forma scalata e a punta..Ottimo per me.

Buy it!

L. · 18 May 2025

I bought 2 and got another one this month. It’s such a great versatile brush. You will not regret buying it.

muito bom para o que se propõe. Finalizador de contorno, de iluminador e pó.

Bardzo dobry pędzel

K. · 9 August 2023

Używam tego pędzla od jakiegoś czasu. Bardzo dobrze sprawdza się do pudru prasowanego i sypkiego. Włosie jest syntetyczne i miękkie. Polecam.
