Real Techniques Cruelty Free Foundation Brush, Uniquely Shaped & Color Coded, With Synthetic Custom Cut Bristles For an Even & Streak Free Makeup Application

I was attracted to the Real Techniques brushes because of the colorful handles, but once I bought my first brush, the quality and reasonable prices kept me coming back for more. I've used them with liquids, powders, and creams, and they work beautifully with all three. The bristles are soft, and pick up plenty of product. They retain their shape when washed, and I've had no trouble with bristles falling out. Even though these brushes are reasonably priced, they are as nice as high end brushes.

This is one of the first Real Technique brushes I purchased and what began my love for this brand. This brush is amazing quality and is so soft! It applies my foundation so easily and gives my face a flawless complextion. Seriously! This is the best foundation brush I have used to date, and I have tried a lot ranging from really cheap, to really expensive high end brushes. It's very easy to clean and maintains it's shape which has been a real problem for me with other brushes purchased in the past. This brush dries quickly too - I leave this to air dry and it's good to use again within 2-3 hours. Excellent buy - I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this brush to others and the complete Real Techniques range.

I think this is one of the better synthetic brushes on the market right now, especially for the price, but it's still a synthetic brush nonetheless. There hasn't been any significant shedding since I got it and with proper cleaning I believe this brush will last someone quite a long time. My only real complaint is how much make up I feel gets wasted with this brand.

I'm a makeup freak. Once I began to use these brushes, my best friend commented on how good my skin looked! I have a huge blotch on the right side of my cheek beginning right below my eye going down to the center of my cheek due to aging and sun damage from using Retin-A. But using this brush to apply makeup seem to have improved my skin's appearance so much to elicit the above comment from my friend who is a real FASHIONISTA!! That's what I call worth the money spent on these brushes. I went ahead and also bought the other brushes in the line. I am so pleased with the purchase and the results.

This brush is smaller than you think...and does the job...but it's not the best out there. My favorite hands down from Real Techniques is the "Buffing Brush". However this does a decent job as well - it's just different than you'd expect. Once you get over that, it's really nice for spreading evenly...since it's small, it's not the fastest application but you can spend time detailing where you want to layer more foundation on. Might also be a decent contour brush if you want precision. Another thing I'm not fond of is the bristles feel more plastic, but at the same time because of that, it won't absorb product which will save you a bit of $$ if you like to use expensive foundation. All in all, if you go in with lower expectations you might be pleasantly surprised. The price point is decent, which is why I shouldn't complain too much! I will still use it from time to time...I like how you can "paint" on the foundation with it. I like to go over my problem areas and paint on more foundation with this brush.

I've read the reviews that talk about how this brush streaks their makeup. Maybe I'm jaded, but I expect this to streak some (but not all) foundations. What I use this brush for is to get the foundation on my face without losing a lot of it on a sponge or having to rinse my fingers off because I'm applying with my hands. The brush could possibly be thinner, but I'm not going to split hairs. It's not super thin, but not thick. The angled brush allows me to slather some foundation around my eyes, under my nose, and by my hairline. If I'm using a brand that is streaking, I go back with a wet sponge and fix it up.

I have the set of this brands other facial brushes. Those brushes are wonderful for getting that airbrushed look when smoothing foundation, blush, just about anything. So, when I saw this Foundation Brush, I thought it must be awesome. Well, it's terrible! It's rough on my skin, it looks like my foundation is streaked and thinned out. My makeup looks like I applied it with a fine toothed comb! I will save it to use to paint and edge the walls in my house. Don't bother with THIS particular brush. The others are great. I'd give it no stars if I could. :(

I was looking for a relatively inexpensive, high-quality foundation brush when I stumbled upon this. I've been using it to apply liquid foundation, and have absolutely no complaints. The bristles are high quality, synthetic material, applies the liquid very smoothly (especially with the angled bristles), and cleans easily. The flat end (so that you can stand the brush up on its own) is also a plus.I also checked out the tutorials online - they're pretty useful. Next time I need a new face/cheek/eye brush, I'll definitely check this brand out again.
