Real Techniques Core Collection by Samantha Chapman (Review)

Hi everyone! Today I will be posting about some brushes I absolutely love. I had heard great things about these brushes and when I realised that they were created by one of my favourite youtube makeup artists (Samantha Chapman from Pixiwoo) it made me want to buy them even more!

The core collection consists of 4 brushes. The buffing brush, the contour brush, the pointed foundation brush, and the detailer brush. You also get a really handy stand with the brushes too which can also be used when travelling.

All of the brushes.

I use the Buffing Brush to apply foundation to the skin for a really flawless finish, but also natural looking. No brush lines or any cakey-ness. My favourite brush in the collection. It is also great for blending and buffing cream blush to make it look a little more natural.

I use the Contour Brush for applying highlighter to the tops of the cheekbones, and also for applying a matte bronzer to the hollows of the cheeks. This brush does all the work for you. It comes to a slight point so that the tip collects and applies the product, and the wider part of the brush blends and buffs for you. It also works for sweeping blush onto the apples and outward.

I use the Pointed Foundation Brush for if I want to apply a cream product to the tops of my cheek bones for a more dewy look, such as something from my ELF Shimmer Palette. I find this too small for actually applying foundation, but this brush isn't bad for patting in your concealer.

The detailer brush is great for applying a lip colour for a really defined look. This brush is also quite good for really focusing a cream shadow under the lashline or into the crease to then blend out. Obviously I would clean the brush inbetween these 2 things!

All the brushes. You can see 5 here, but the extra picture (top left) is what you can see on the other side of the image.

So these are all the brushes. This set is £21.99 which I don't think is bad for the quality! I really am thinking about looking into buying some of the other brushes from this brand. Any you recommend?

These brushes are part of my everyday makeup, so definately worth investing in.

 

Thanks for reading!

Come again soon!
