Starter set

Real Techniques Brush set

A couple of weeks ago i bought the starter set from real Techniques and i have been using it ever since so thought i would do a quick review and show you what i think of them and how i use them.

This is the starter set which includes all the essentials for your eyes. The set contains 5 different brushes; base shadow brush, deluxe crease brush, accent brush, pixel point eyeliner brush and the brow brush. All the brushes came in a black case that have sections for each brush and it can also convert into a stand. every brush is super soft and very gently on and around the eyes.




 Base shadow brush: This brush does what the name say's it is used to apply the base shadow colour to the eyelid, its great for applying powdered eye shadow and cream based shadows. No hairs come off on your eyes and its very easy to blend the colour on the eyelid.


Deluxe crease brush: Again this brush does what the name say's, i use to brush to blend a darker colour into my crease to create a simple smokey eye. This brush also makes it really easy to blend eye shadows and doesn't irritate the eyes or around the eyes.


Accent brush: This brush is really good for detailing where needed, i use this brush to add colour to my lower lash line ready to be smudged out and i also use it to add a dark colour to my upper lash line like a eyeliner. It can also be used to add a highlight colour to the inner corners of the eye and anywhere else needed.


Pixel point eyeliner: This brush is my least used brush of the set i have never used it for eyeliner because it is too big for my eyes but sometimes i use it to add the colour in the crease and then blend it out with the deluxe crease brush. This one is also really soft and delicate on the eyes.


Brow brush: This is the last brush in the set and this is used to fill in your brows. i never really use this brush because i find it to big for my eyebrows. I hardly ever fill in my eyebrows but when i do i like to use a small brush so its more precise for me because im not very good, so i find this brush makes my eyebrows look very thick and they never look right. This brush might be better with people who have experience or have bigger, thicker eyebrows to me.

Overall i really like the set because you get everything needed to make a nice look on you eyes. Its is also great to have it all in the same place and its great for travelling because the case is sturdy but not to bulky. Every brush is soft and are great for beginners, I think the price is very reasonable for the quality of the brushes and easy to get hold of. Certain brushes i like more than others but i still use every single one even if its not for what its supposed to be used for.

i am really sorry about some of the picture qualities but the lighting in my house is awful and i had to use my phone because my camera is broken and in repair at the moment.

Thank you for reading
lots of love
