Real Techniques Core Collection Reviews
-
Lovely and Affordable
I bought the Core Collection mainly for the buffing brush. I had heard wonderful things about Real Techniques and the buffing brush in particular. Despite being drawn to the buffing brush, I actually have found a use for every single brush in this set. I use the buffing brush for my loose mineral powder foundation and it is perfect for this. It picks up and distributes the product effectively and is so easy to clean. I use the contour brush for bronzer mainly, but it is also great for highlighter. Since these are synthetic, they work well with cream or powder products. The small foundation brush I like for cream highlighter or to help blend under eye concealer. It is personally way too small for me to use as a foundation brush. The small lip brush is the worst in the set. It's not great for lip products because the shape and size seem wrong. However, I have found a use for this in my nail kit. I use this for cleaning up the edges of my nail polish by dipping it into a cap of nail polish remover and working it around the sides of my nails. This set of four brushes comes with a little travel brush roll and only costs $18. Such a bargain for the quality and versatility you receive! I personally don't like the look of the Real Techniques brushes because they come off as cheap. I'd much prefer the handles to be completely black and more slim. Still, for what you pay these are great. Since they are so lightweight, they are great for traveling too. — 7 months, 3 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Essential for creating a flawless complexion
After discovering the Pixiwoos and finding out Samantha Chapman had her own brush line that's very affordable, I was glad to hear that they are now being offered at ULTA. I purchased this set along with the Travel Essentials. First off, the hairs are super soft and synthetic taklon so it's cruelty-free. No shedding at all! Brushes are light-weight. This has what you need to blend in your foundation/concealer. The Contour brush is great for applying powder and highlighter for a perfect finish. The Pointed Foundation Brush is great to get those hard to reach places for blending foundation and/or concealer. The Detailer brush is good for concealing but I could also use this for eyeliner. The Buffing brush is amazing to buff in foundation (powder/cream/liquid). It reminds me alot of the Face Expert brush, which will be my next purchase. All brushes are great for blending in your makeup for a natural look. The case is too awesome. It can fold over to protect your brushes. It can be folded back and held by this adjustable string resembling a shoe lace, that can make it stand up as in the picture. Plus the part of the case where it folds over has an elastic band where you can fit 2-3 more brushes. I intend to buy the whole set to retire my aging brushes that I've had for over 10 years. I absolutely love these brushes. — 1 year agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 5 of 6 people said helpful

Soft brushes
This is a really great set and very affordable. Dont confuse affordable with lack of quality. These are really nice and soft and blend seamlessly. They are synthetic so you can use them with a variety of products. The only one brush that i dont like as much is the small precision brush. Its supposed to be used for concealer or lipstick but i find its too small for concealer and too big for lipstick. The rest are all thumbs up-again a great set. — 2 months, 1 week agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

One of the best sets I've ever come across.
I initially discovered the real techniques brushes whilst watching the makeup tutorials of the BEAUTIFUL Tanya Burr (pixi2woo) on youtube, I always saw her using these fantastic brushes (particularly the buffing brush) and raving about how lovely they are, they made her look even more stunning. Naturally I didn't think Australia would be lucky enough to have them but alas, Priceline has done it again and now sells the entire Real Techniques line! These brushes are super soft, the handles are very pleasant and sturdy to hold and just the right length, the buffing brush is as incredible as you may think and I adore it for applying MUFE HD foundation, as well as powder products. The detail concealer brush is amazing for application of cream/pot concealers that are a little harder to budge sometimes such as cult classic MAC Studio Finish and can imagine it would work just as brilliantly with the Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealers. The contour brush finally allows me to be able to realistically contour my cheeks and lightly apply highlight and blush in an even and precise manner. I also like the pointed foundation brush for really soft diffusing of concealer, though I personally think it's too small for an entire application for foundation to the face, it'd take ages! The travel case is convenient, compact and makes it easy to store my brush brands separately, these brushes wash extremely well and I have yet to experience any shedding. My only qualm is that in Australia this set costs me $44 whereas on the US website you only have to pay $17, aside from this they're a major asset to any makeup fan! — 5 months, 1 week agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

All you need for a fantastic base
I love this set, it literally came with everything I have ever 'needed' to achieve a flawless base. Concealer blush, buffing brush, pointed foundation brush and the contour brush which is still a bit advanced for me. This is a set to grow into and is fantastic for makeup neophytes who really want to step up their game. — 11 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful
