Core Collection

Good brushes especially for students and those who starts their journey in makeup. They work fine, they are soft, they don't shed (very important,when you apply your makeup and end up picking hairs from your face) and good cleaning behavior. Only negative is the black rubber at the end of the handle, it become sticky and gross within months of use. I use Mod Podge matte to coat it. It work …Read more

Essential and high quality, and for my basic makeup needs, they're in fact all the brushes that I own. I use the buffing brush the most, to apply foundation, setting powder, and everything else that requires a whole-face application. Contour brush the second, to apply blushes and occasionally to contour. The detailer brush is great for applying concealer and eye shadow. I hardly ever use the …Read more

super soft bristles and affordable price point. personally though, I didn't have a use for the concealer brush so I gave it to a friend.

Had this set since 2013 or 2014, and the brushes held up beautifully in 4 years. They've never shed, and although the rubber bases have gone sticky that doesn't affect functionality.

Over the years I've come to really use all the brushes. Used to be buffing brush was my favourite - but the expert face brush is softer and better for blending out liquid foundation. Now …Read more

Love love love it!

Love it! I use the buffer brush every day to set my makeup and the contour brush to contour (I also sometimes use it to blend my undereye concealer or to set it with powder - works amazingly for that as well). I rarely reach for the foundation brush, although it's a great brush it's just not my prefered way of application. The detailer brush is a bit stiff, can be used for precise …Read more

At risk of repeating what I have said in my other reviews of Real Techniques brushes, they are very soft, very affordable, and attractive to me because they are synthetic and cruelty free. I have had this set for a long, long time, and some of the brushes I use quite often. Here are my thoughts on the individual brushes in the set:

-Contour Brush: I do like this for cream contour …Read more

I love this set.
It's really soft and easy to use, as well as very versatile.
You can use this with liquid, cream and powder products which is very useful.
I also use the tiny concealer brush to do detailing on my eyeshadow because of how short and precise it is. I really love these four brushes and use them very often

I feel Real Techniques is a staple in many people's collections and it's for good reason, they're inexpensive, they're good quality, and they're easy to get your hands on. They are so soft and easy to clean. I use the contour brush for setting powders, I don't think it's a great shape for carving the cheekbones, but it works under the eyes. The pointed …Read more

I enjoy the two larger brushes in this set - I use the largest for powder to set my makeup and the other for highlight. Both are beautiful and soft and feel so luxurious!

I am not a fan of the two smaller brushes - the flat foundation brush is just not what I'd use to apply foundation and I can't seem to find any other use for it, and the lip brush is ok, but it's rare …Read more
