Real Techniques Duo Fibre Brush Set

Real Techniques are the  brushes to have. Not only are these brushes made by fellow beauty junkie, Samantha Chapman aka Pixiwoo, the quality of them rivals that of higher end brands such as MAC. Although I am partial to a MAC 217, you can't beat a RT brush when it comes to price, quality and cute brush design. I am currently working on owning all of the Real Techniques brushes...

Now there are already sets of Real Techniques brushes out there... but these are limited edition (avaliable until around April 2014 I think - don't quote me on that) duo-fibre brushes. In this set you get a Face Brush, Contour Brush and Eye Brush but with the limited edition, sleek white handles. At first touch these brushes seem impossibly soft, but after having a play around with them I find this to be true of all but one of them. To me, the Eye Brush a little scratchy to use on your eyes - especially for applying highlight to the inner corners. However, after going unloved in my bush collection for a few weeks it now has a permanent position of applying highlight to my brow bone and down my nose. 

As for the other brushes, I prefer my Real Techniques Powder Brush to apply powder all over my face so I use this duo-fibre face brush for apply blush. It picks up just the right amount of product for a gorgeous flush across the cheeks. The contour brush makes for the perfect highlight brush. Apply your favourite highlighter to this brush and gently sweep across your cheekbones. Again I find this to apply just the right amount of product but it is also easy to build with if you so wish! 

The Real Techniques Limited Edition Duo-Fibre Brush Set is well worth the purchase if you are looking to expand your makeup brush stash. I wonder what Real Techniques will come out with next? I am currently eyeing up the Miracle Complexion Sponge...
