Top 5: My Favourite Makeup Brushes!

Makeup brushes are so important for
application to create a flawless face of makeup.  I’ve found my five perfect
brushes that I use daily for my signature look. 
If I’m without one of these brushes I do feel a panic starting to rise
in me!  I thought I’d let you in on my
favs!

Real
Techniques Buffing Brush:
I never ever got on with
those old flat foundation brushes, no matter how much I tried to get an even,
blended base, I always ended up straky and feeling cakey.  This brush however changed everythaang.  This buffs my foundation perfectly into my
skin, leaving it even, blended and looking as natural as can be.  I need a back up of this as I adore it so
much.


Real Techniques Duo-Fiber Contouring
Brush:
This is the newest in the bunch but it has been a permemant staple
in my handbag since getting it.  This
brush picks up the perfect amount of powder or cream product (not too much)
which allows me to create a gorgeous contour of my cheekbones.  I also use this to apply normal blusher and
it also works a treat.

Royal
& Langnickle Smudger Brush:
As you know smoky
eyes are my signature look and this baby is what allows me to get that
effortlessly smudged look underneath my lower lash line. I pick up a darker
eyeshadow with the brush and gently sweep it underneath my lashes to build up a
smoke – I adore it.

Real
Techniques Eyeshadow Brush
: Another brush which is
a permanent fixture in my bag.  The hairs on this allow me to pick up just enough product to apply a good amount of eye shadow and allows me to blend it out in the same application.  

Crown
Brushes Angle-Liner & Spoolie:
I picked this up
at IMATS 2012 and use it daily to comb through and fill my brows in.  It’s perfect! 

As with all brushes, to make them last
longer then do treat them well and give them the occasional wash.  You can read my post on how I was all of my
brushes here – http://www.katiesbeautyblog.com/2013/07/how-to-wash-makeup-brushes.html. 

What are your favourite daily makeup
brushes?  Are you a fan of Real
Techniques?

    I love the Buffing Brush as well (like all the other Real Techniques brushes). But I really need to try the Duo-Fiber brushes 🙂

  2. February 10, 2014 / 11:46 am

    Real Techniques are my favourite brushes, along with some Sigma ones. You should check the Sigma ones out!

    I love the Real Techniques Expert Face Brush.
    I use it every day for my foundation and to blend out contour and blush for a natural effect.

    I love love love!!! my real technique brushes! Definitely the buffing brush for my foundation and the eyeshadow brush. The buffing brush gives your foundation a more natural look instead of cakey which is a very good thing ^_^

  6. February 10, 2014 / 12:33 pm

    Ohh, I must try the Real Techniques Duo-Fibre contouring brush, it sounds great! I love the RT line, the buffing brush is also one of my absolute favourites.

    I really like Hakuro brushes. They are a little bit cheaper than Real Techniques. The quality is really good. They are very popular in Poland 🙂

    I've been meaning to get a real techniques brush, but at the moment I use e.l.f. brushes and they are surprisingly super lovely for the amount of money you spend!! I also got some great mini brushes from f21. Who knew??

    I am a huge fan of the Real Techniques brushes. I have the expert face brush and it applies my liquid foundation so flawlessly and blends beautifully. I also have the same eye shadow brush that is your collection and I love it just as much! It applies just enough product. May have to invest in the smudger brush you mentioned too as I am always striving for the perfect smokey eye look, and you seem to do it perfectly. x

  24. February 10, 2014 / 5:29 pm

    I'm the same when it comes to flat foundation brushes, they just don't work for me. The RT Buffing brush is my favourite! I have the eyeshadow brush too and really like it 🙂

    I do like the Real Techniques expert face brush- that shadow brush looks like something I may want! I recently became a fan of Sigma brushes, their F80 flat top kabuki has replaced all other foundation brushes for me!

  45. February 11, 2014 / 3:19 pm

    Real techniques expert face brush I use every time for foundation, really really love it. Love the setting brush they do as well.

    Real Techniques and Elf brushes are one of the best and cheapest brushes. If you want some high-end ones buy Mac or Sigma.

    Definitely a fan of Real Techniques. Although I haven't tried any of their brushes for the eyes yet!

    Invested in a Real Techniques brush a while ago and I haven't looked back since then.

  58. March 6, 2014 / 10:20 pm

    This is soon helpful, gonna go and try to find these brushes! Thank you!

    Real Technique brushes are the Chanel of the brush industry. They always have their brushes on point. Have been very impressed by their recent releases.
    I've written a post about buying makeup brushes and how to evaluate their quality. I'd appreciate it very much if you had a wee peep at it. xx

    Am I the only one who finds shopping for brushes a mandane task??
    It's such a thought provoking chore. So many things to consider, quality, brand, price, type blah blah blah!
    I've written a post about things you should consider before rushing to the cash register. I'd appreciate it if you had a wee little peep at it. xx
