First Impression - Real Techniques Core Collection

I've been wanting to buy Real Techniques brushes for a long time since a lot of people have been loving their brushes. So I finally got a chance to purchase them at Walmart! It comes with four synthetic bristle face brushes and a 2 in 1 panoramic case which makes it travel friendly as you can use it as a case and a stand.

Cost: $18.97 (Walmart) 

$18.00 (Real Techniques Website)

Pointed Foundation Brush

The first time I used this brush I wasn't really wowed by it Since I’m so used to my Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge and its air brushed look it gives I didn't really like how my foundation looked with this brush. It blends out the foundation however you have to be careful and make sure you’re blending downward the face or else it leaves streak marks on the face. This brush is definitely going to be my least used brushes out of the four. 

Detailer Brush

This brush is supposed to be used as a lip brush or you can use it as a concealer brush. I found this brush to be too small to use as a concealer brush but it is a good brush to use when you want to apply a bold lip colour to get a more precise application. 

Contour Brush

The contour brush is one of my favourite brush in the collection. You can use it for many uses, not only for contouring purposes. But I used it to contour and this brush fits perfectly on the contours of my cheeks which gives a precise contoured look and it blends out amazingly.

Buffing Brush

The buffing brush is another favourite of mine and is a multipurpose brush. It is recommended to use with powder and mineral foundation. However, I use this brush to apply blush and it easily blends into my skin and I have control with the amount of blush I want on my face.


Even though I was not impressed with the foundation brush, I do like this core collection and think is worth the buy. The brushes are extremely soft and are 100% cruelty free. I also gave these brushes a wash to see if it would shed and the brushes were like new and there was no shedding.
