The Real Techniques Brushes core collection - How I use them

Hey Guys!  

Welcome back to my blog!

     For today's blog post I will be telling you about how I use my real techniques core collection makeup brushes!

(starting from the left)

• buffing brush - the buffing brush has given me the best results with my translucent powder! When I use it to apply the powder I use about 3 sprinkles on the brush. I get instant results and I am more matte by the end of the day than when I use the powder puff that comes with it!

•  contour brush - This brush is absolutely perfect if you are like me and cannot create a contour line without it being too thick and strong and have to blend it in for ages, then this brush is the one for you! I use this brush with a dark eye shadow to contour my face and it creates a smooth and reasonably deep line in the hollows of my cheeks. When blending, it doesn't take long at all, it blends as you contour.If the blending isn't adequate for me I just use the same brush to blend in circular motions and It does the complete trick.

•  detailer brush - I use this brush with eye shadow to get in in the crease, corners and some times waterline of my eyes. This brush really does an excellent job! it is the right size to get a perfect bridge colour in the crease of your eyelids. You can also create a smoky eye by using it on the left side of your eye an going around and down (see video link at the end of this post to see how I do it).

•  pointed foundation brush - The pointed foundation brush is my favourite brush to use. I put one pump of my foundation on my hand, use the brush to apply it to my forehead, cheeks, chin upper lip and nose - I use some of the foundation on my chin to blend down my neck and on my jawline. Then, I just blend in all my foundation around my face and the brush gives me even and full coverage. The brush does not suck up any of the foundation at all!  ( I know this because when I finish using the brush when I swipe it on my hand to see if there is any foundation left I can use there is none absorbed in the brush).
