Real Techniques Brush Collection & How I Use Them.

I was never one for brushes, I had such a small collection but once 'Real Techniques' were released I began to build quite a collection! The thing I've learnt to do most with my brushes is not to use them simply for what they're supposed to be used for.. I see it more as a recommendation.. 

So I'm going to do a bit of an overview of which Real Techniques brushes I own and what I use them for! 

Blush Brush: I use this for all over face powders instead as I find the brush is slightly too large to focus on for just blush.  

Duo fiber face brush: I'm not the biggest fan of stippling brushes, I rarely use this but when I do it's for my all over foundation but I would like to give it another fair go. 

Cheek brush: I do use this for my blusher & I love the shape of this brush. It picks up just the right amount of product and blends really well! 

Buffing brush: I do use this for it's buffing features! Any cream contouring or thorough blending I'll use this brush. 

Expert face brush: My foundation brush- forever. I adore this brush and it's fab at buffing in all the foundation.

Deluxe crease brush: I really like this eyeshadow brush, I use this as a buffing eyeshadow brush to just blend the finished eye perfectly. 

Angled shadow brush: This is more of my crease eyeshadow brush working on the crease & the outer eye mainly. 

Base shadow brush: I use this as my concealer brush to buff in areas around my eyes and my nose, it's the perfect size for this and my eyeshadow brush collection is pretty full so thought I'd utilise this elsewhere!

Detailer brush: My clean up brush- whether it be focusing on concealing a spot, cleaning up any excess eyeshadow or around the lips. 

Eyeliner brush: I apply my eyeshadow onto the lower lash line with this brush and to layer and mattify any liner with black shadow. 

Accent brush: How I apply my red lipsticks! Such precision for the Cupid's bow, and like the detailer brush this helps with any little clean ups also. 

These are my core brushes but I do have others for filling in the gaps! I've currently got my eye on the Zoeva brushes which are on my current wish list and the most recent launch of Make Up Revolution being a range of makeup brushes these will no doubt be making an appearance in my collection too!  

How do you use your makeup brushes?
