Real Techniques Travel Essentials Brush Kit Review

Hey guys!

Today I'm going to share with you a set of brushes that I use on a daily basis to apply my makeup and that is the Real Techniques Travel Essentials Kit. I bought this kit when I was visiting relatives in the States at an Ulta Store in New Jersey. I also wanted to purchase the Core Collection but sadly, the store that I went to was out of stock of that kit. Real Techniques is a brand by Samantha Chapman who is half of the Pixiwoo sisters, very popular youtube beauty vloggers.

Company Description: Everything you need to create flawless looks at home and away: Look pixel perfect even in harsh light. Ultra plush, synthetic taklon bristles are hand-cut and 100% cruelty free. Extended aluminum handles are light and easy to use. Includes 3 full-size brushes + case: 

Essential Foundation Brush: Build flawless custom coverage with liquid foundation or concealer

Multi-task Brush: For effortless application of powder, blush and bronzer

Domed Shadow Brush: Tapered design smoothly shades and defines eyes

Panoramic Brush Case 

Fun Fact: Real Techniques Brushes are colour-coded. Their blue brushes are for eyes, orange brushes are for bases (foundation, concealer, etc) and pink brushes are for finishers (blush, powder, etc).

Another Fun Fact: Real Techniques brushes can stand alone with the help of their rubber ends.

So now on to the brushes!

Essential Foundation Brush: I heard in some youtube videos that the main complaint for this brush is that its small for some users. But for me, I think this is the perfect size. I love using this to apply my foundation and concealer. I like that the brush is really pointed so it can reach the nooks and crannies of my nose and under eye area. When I first used this brush, I felt a little scratch on my face but after a few uses I didn't feel it anymore. I guess I just had to 'break it in'

Multi-task Brush: I don't really use bronzer a lot so I mainly use this brush to apply blush. I love how it picks up enough product but not too much to apply blush with just one natural-looking sweep. This is a great product for powder blushes, bronzer, highlighters but I don't think this will work with cream blushes even though its taklon.

Domed Shadow Brush: I love how multi-purpose this brush is for me. I use this to pat the shadow all over my lids while also using it for the crease and blending as well.

The kit also includes a brush case which is really great for traveling because it protects the brushes while still preserving the form of the brushes. Also, I've had these brushes for a few months now and have washed them every week but I have yet to see the brushes shed. If you have access to Real Techniques brushes I suggest you try them out. They're great quality with reasonable prices.
