Real Techniques Core Collection

Real Techniques Core Collection

Real Techniques brushes are made of ultra smooth and have brightly colored metal handles. I am truly impressed with these brushes. They are so soft that I want to keep putting my makeup on so that I can continue using the brushes.

The Core Collection contains 4 brushes and a 2-in-1 case, Each brush is full size with a bright orange handle.

while still inside of it's packaging.

This is what the panoramic case looks like, when being used as a brush stand.

The Contour Brush: This contour brush is blessed with perfect proportions. Not only does it assist in flawless contouring, but it's also easy to use for a little bit of highlighter, or just a dab of blush.

The Pointed Foundation Brush: This brush is a little small for a foundation brush, but does work well for more intense foundation specification, or a larger area of concealment.

The Buffing Brush: I love this buffing brush! It's a medium sized brush, with bristles that are rounded at the edge, and flatter on top. The brush bristles are extremely firm, and yet somehow they remain astonishingly soft. I have yet to find a cosmetic product, that this little-baby can't buff smoothly into my skin.

The Detailer Brush: This brush does exactly what it's name tells it to do. It is a wonderful brush, and is very skilled in sneaking into all of the nooks and cranny's, that other foundation and concealer brushes, just can't quite make it into.

Real Techniques Starter Set by Samantha Chapman

Real Techniques Starter Set by Samantha Chapman

This kit includes five, detailed eye-brushes and a panoramic carrying case. All of the brushes are synthetic, with bristles made from hand-cut taklon fibers, and handles made out of aluminum. The carrying case comes with a Velcro clasp and a rope handle, for easy carrying. The case also as the ability to fold in half, and act as a brush-stand while you are using your brushes.

The five brushes included in this kit are:

Base Shadow Brush: This brush is intended for your foundation eye-color, or base eye-color. It also works very well as a crease brush, and reminds me very much, of a hybrid the of M.A.C. #217 Brush, and the M.A.C. #224 Brush.

Deluxe Crease Brush: This brush was made to assist in easy contouring. It is extremely thick, and has a flatter, domed-shape. It's also massive, so it's not meant for detail work, but for more expedient blending.

Accent Brush: The accent brush is basically a mini-smudger, that is also useful when perfecting detail work.

Pixel-Point Eyeliner Brush: This brush was made for fine, eye-liner application. However, I've found that it works better for thicker, eye-liner application.

Brow Brush: This is an angled brush that is to use to create sharp, featured brows. It also works well, in distributing eyeshadow right along your lash line.

This is the Panoramic Case, with it's Velcro strap, and rope handle.
You can also see how there is a little bit of cushioning in the case, to help protect your brushes.
