Real Techniques Core Collection Review

I got this brush set for Christmas after hearing so much good things about it. Before I got this I was using ELF brushes and I thought they were good but oh my God these are amazing in comparison. There are 4 brushes in the set. The buffing brush, contour brush, detailer brush and pointed foundation brush. My favourite brush in the whole set is the buffing brush.

Buffing Brush:
I love this brush it is so soft and blends in liquid foundation really well. I use this to blend in my foundation and it blends it in so well and creates such a flawless look. This is my favourite brush in the whole collection as it is so amazing.

Contour Brush:
This brush is really good for applying blusher and bronzer. It applies blusher really well as it is the right shape to fit your cheeks.



Detailer Brush:

This is probably my least favourite brush in the whole set as I prefer to use my fingers to blend in  concealer. On the days that I have used it it has blended in the concealer really well.

Pointed Foundation Brush:
I often use this to put foundation on my face before I buff it in with the buffing brush. I have also heard people use it to blend in their concealer but I haven't tried that yet.

These brushes were created by Sam Chapman(from Pixiwoo ) The brushes are made from synthetic Taklon bristles and they are a 100% cruelty free. The brushes are £21.99 from Boots on Amazon they are only £18.83 so a little bit cheaper. The set comes with a case which makes it great for travelling and the case can be turned into a stand which is really helpful to have on your desk or dressing table. These brushes are really worth the hype and I really want to try more of the brushes. I think I'm going to get the starter kit as I really want to try them.


Have you tried these brushes?

    1. If you try any elf brushes try the ones from the studio line or the bamboo line as they are better than the ordinary line x
