Real Techniques Blush Brush and Setting Brush

I know I know, more brushes! But what can I say, I was on a roll. I threw away one of my tatty ancient blush brushes the other day, so I was in the market for something new.

I wanted something big and fluffy, and you can't get bigger or fluffier than the Real Techniques Blush Brush: £9.99 from Boots. I also immediately fell in love with the Real Techniques Setting Brush: £7.99, so picked them both up! I already own the Stipping Brush and love that, so didn't think I'd be dissapointed.



The blush brush is huge! I've seen other bloggers say they thought it was too big for blush, and at first I thought so too, but it works perfectly! It works nicely when you're going for rosy healthy looking cheeks instead of a more sculpted look. Its so so soft and great quality.

The setting brush is designed for putting powder under the eyes or applying highlighter. I love it for applying highlighter, and its great for contouring too;because its quite fluffy you can really blend the contours out.

Another great thing about Real Techniques is the price; £9.99 and £7.99 are really decent prices for such high quality brushes! I'm so so happy with my brushes now, I never really used to care, but now I know if I have decent brushes, it makes a big difference to my make up.

FYI: I'm going on a short spending ban. I'm only allowed to buy from the upcoming MAC Marilyn Monroe collection, so that I can save some money and expand the kinds of thing I blog about! So expect lots more 'top 5' and favourites posts! :)

Bye for now! xx

  1. I've been debating about the blush brush for ages! It is a lot bigger than I thought it was ha. You can't really go wrong with Real Techniques, I have the core collection and I've been using them over any other brush since xx.

    1. I'm really glad I got it, it's nothing spectacular since its just a blush brush, but it is nice quality, and its not as scary as it looks aha! I think I might invest in the eye collection next xx

    1. I know what you mean, blush brushes are blush brushes, they can't really do anything amazing. I think I just love it because my old brushes were on their last legs! :p xx

  3. Did you find the setting brush in boots as well? I've been after it for ages but didn't think they stocked it.

    1. Yeah I did! I think it's just a new addition though, I haven't seen it in Boots before either until I got it so they must just be starting to stock them :) x

  5. I've been eyeing up the blush brush for a while. I'm torn between it and the japonesque one, but this is much cheaper, so very tempting. Definitely need something like the setting brush for something under my eyes! Aah, this post is enabling me. Good luck with the spending ban x
