Review: Real Techniques Core Collection Brushes

Real Techniques Core Collection Brush Set

Finally a review on the highly-raved Real Techniques makeup brushes! This core collection set is created to have perfect canvass and pixel perfect makeup coverage. I bought this from Hot Finds Manila, an instagram online shop that sells authentic cosmetics and I got this for 720php, but the original price is 920php, since they're also selling on Shopee Philippines I took advantage of using a 200php coupon. Great deal, right?

The brushes are synthetic taklon bristles that are hand-cut and 100% cruelty-free. They're very soft and dense, I ended up rubbing it between my fingers for half an hour while watching tv, lol! Plus, the extended aluminium handles are light and easy to use.

It also has a panoramic case which has a dual purpose, you can use it for travelling or on your makeup vanity as a brush stand.

My thoughts: 

I've been really wanting to have this brushes for quite sometime now, but its a little bit pricey here in the Philippines so it took me quite awhile to acquire this one. I'm really impressed with the quality of this brushes they're all soft and don’t feel harsh against my skin. Not to mention, the handle on these feel light and sturdy which makes them quite comfortable to use. Even though they aren't as dense as I would like them to be but that doesn’t affect their performance. Moreover, I haven't noticed any shedding or splaying so far.

Real Techniques Collection - Buffing Brush

I am extremely happy with this buffing brush. It's perfect for applying liquid foundations, powder foundations, and BB creams. I love the way it blends the makeup and creates a flawless base. It's not as dense as the flat top brush but it's incredibly close. 

Real Techniques Core Collection - Contour Brush

The Contour brush is my second favorite from the collection. I like that it’s little round and pointed at the tip as it helps create that precise contour in a matter of seconds. But if you don’t like a sharp look, you can easily blend your bronzer or contouring powder for a diffused effect. I also use it to highlight parts on my face like cheekbones and nose. 

Real Techniques Core Collection - Pointed Foundation Brush

I love this brush to apply my liquid foundation on those hard-to-reach areas like around the nose and mouth. It could also double up as a concealer brush to hide those nasty spots or dark circles and it works really well that way.

Real Techniques Core Collection - Detailer Brush

The Detailer brush is good. I like to use it for concealing under my brow area and for highlighting the inner corner of my eyes. 

My Rating: 5/5

What do you think about the brushes? Have you tried it yet?
