"I've used these brushes on most models I work with backstage and on Debbie Harry for a film," says Najor. Rommy Najor, a makeup artist who works with model Constance Jablonski, says they are a staple of his both backstage at fashion shows and anywhere else. "These don't fall apart-and I've had really great, really expensive brushes only last a month or two." "I use my brushes every day, multiple times a day, and much more aggressively than everyday women," says makeup artist Vincent Oquendo (who works with Bella and Gigi Hadid, Chrissy Teigen, and Ciara). And when we interviewed some of the top makeup artists in the business, it's clear that the brushes' low price point has not affected their quality. Now.The Real Techniques range features staples like a Powder Brush, Blush Brush, and flat eye-shadow brushes, but also some unique brush shapes we're not used to seeing at the drugstore, like a_Buffing Brush_, Stippling Brush, and even a_Silicone Liner Brush_. It’s very hard not to go overboard about it but this is one every girl should own. The brush it so dense that it doesn’t soak up any of the product, it just lets you blend to perfection. It works really well for those of you who (like myself) want fuller coverage. But seriously, it works with powder or liquid foundation and gives a gorgeous airbrushed finish. It literally should be named Best Makeup Brush Ever Of All Time No Exceptions. My most recent and undoubtedly FAVOURITE purchase has been the Expert Face Brush. And for €13 it’s well worth the investment. The bristles are much longer and softer so it’s hard to overdo it, unless you’re really trying to. But it gives a delicate touch of colour to the apples of your cheeks that’s unbelievably flattering. I’ll be honest and say this guy looks beastly coming at your face covered in blush. I had been dying to find a new blush brush to replace my Up&Up brush which had started to fray so I did my research and bought the RT Blush Brush. The next two brushes were a little cheaper but no less impressive. At almost €16 it’s one of the priciest brushes I own but it’s worth the investment. Considering it’s still perfect after 3 years of use and abuse says a lot about the quality. I actually use it more for contour than foundation at the moment. Since I usually use a darker foundation or concealer to contour I use the Stippling brush to blend it out and make it look more natural. I don’t think I have ever used it for powders but it works beautifully with liquid products to leave you with an even, streak-free finish. It’s perfect level of stiffness to really work your foundation into your skin. My first purchase from this collection was the Stippling brush.

For all you animal lovers the brushes are cruelty free, made instead from 100% synthetic bristles. I have honestly recommended them to anyone that will listen and even managed to convince a couple of friends to buy some! They’re fab, super affordable brushes and have lasted really well down through the years (think I bought their Stippling Brush back in 2011!). Over the last few years I have accumulated a few brushes from Samantha Chapman’s ever growing collection of Real Techniques makeup brushes.

Ok so, three brushes is probably too small to call a collection but, anyway.
