Real Techniques make-up brushes

There's been a lot of commotion about the Real Techniques make-up brushes lately and so I thought I'd give them a try to see what the fuss is about and brought the Real Techniques Face Brush and the Stippling brush

This is what the boots website said about the two brushes:

•  "Real Techniques Expert Face makeup brush is ultra firm and broad, perfect for the application and blending of cream or liquid foundation."
• "Create a flawless base with this beautifully designed Stippling brush by Samantha Chapman, which helps you build coverage gradually for an airbrushed, high definition result."

I used the face brush to soften in my concealer before applying my Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation. I was actually surprised as to how even my foundation was using the face brush. The fine bristles reach every pore and the coverage of my foundation was so much more even, those pimples and annoying blemishes were covered so well and as a little added plus, the brush was so soft on my skin! 

Although the stippler brush is intended to be used as a brush to apply concealer and primer, i use mine to apply and blend in my blusher on the apples of my cheeks and on my temples. I found the stippler brush to be less effective than the Real Techniques face brush and actually resorted back to using my old Body Shop blusher brush. Thisaybe because I used the stippler brish to apply my blusher and not my concealer and primer.  

Although the stippler brush dont live up to my expectations, i would definitely recommend the face brush by Real Techniques. I will definitely be buying more Real Techniques brushes and will let you know how they compare to the descriptions on the retailer websites.
