In July, it's no secret that I fell in love with Real Techniques. I bought the Core Collection (review here) and I've used those brushes religiously since getting them. It's not a surprise that I've wanted to grow my collection even further. When I went into Superdrug, I was looking about and out the corner of my eye, I spied (ha) the Eye Makeup Brush Starter Set reduced from £21.99 to £14.99. And how can one turn that down?!
If you know me, then you will know that I LOVE nothing better than seamless eyeshadow, so these appealed to me. Real Technique brushes are some of the best brushes on the market, and are just stunning! You can't deny the purple and black brushes don't look professional! The brushes also have their dedicated job on them so you won't ever forget what they're for.
Left to right; deluxe crease brush, base shadow brush, brow brush, accent brush and fine liner brush. |
I don't know about you, but I think these brushes look incredible sitting alongside my other brushes within my collection. There's just something so amazing about the brushes that I love and makes me want the whole range. Maybe it's just the inner beauty blogger within me..
Deluxe Crease Brush - I adore this brush! It is most definitely one of the best brushes ever created for blending eyeshadow and making it look perfect. The bristles are densely packed together nice and tightly. They are shaped together to look round, and fit fantastically into your crease.
Base Shadow Brush - This is probably the brush which I rely on most. It picks up shadow immensely and then packs it onto the lid. Maybe it's my imagination, but I feel it makes the shadow more pigmented. Or maybe it just picks up product better than any other ol' brush!
Brow Brush - The new best thing ever. I just use it to fill in my brows, simple really. Apart from that, I use it to smoky out colour on my lower lash line. It's angled to my liking to fill in my brows. From using this, my brows are definitely 'on fleek'.
Accent Brush - At the moment, I'm currently using it for a highlight colour in my inner corner and brow bone. It's small and precise enough to get the product exactly where I want it. It's one I use quite regularly and honestly, it comes in handy!
Fine Liner Brush - I haven't found a definite job for this yet, although, I do know once I do, I will love it. I have used it with shadow to give the appearance of liner on my upper lash line. The bristles aren't soft like the other brushes so it makes it easier to use for liner.
I genuinely think these brushes have been sitting in Superdrug waiting for me to pick them up, and I am not afraid to admit that I am (slightly) late on the bandwagon with these but I do wish I'd picked them up sooner! Since I own one too many palettes, these brushes get used almost daily. Of course, I just want to go on and collect even more of their eye brushes because I'm a bit of a hoarder that way..
Have you tried these Real Techniques brushes?

Thanks so much, Kirsty! xx
DeleteI love my Real Techniques brushes. The price is right, and they work so well and hold up great over time.
ReplyDeleteFor the price, they are incredible quality x
DeleteI absolutely love these brushes! By far the best eye brush set I've owned, and more than a year later after tons of use and plenty of washing they're still going strong :)
ReplyDeleteMisia xx | gowashyourface.com
I know I'll get plenty of use out of them! x
DeleteI've never used these brushes but I've heard a lot about them!
ReplyDeleteThey are honestly as good as everyone says x
DeleteI love my Real techniques brushes but I haven't bought these (yet!), they look so good though!!!x

DeleteI love RT brushes! I have nic's collection, and a few odd ones. I want to get my hands on this collection and the core collection. Fab review :) x
ReplyDeleteAbi | abistreet
Ooh I love the look of Nic's picks, heard they're really good x
DeleteI love this RT set, they are amazing eye brushes for a great price!
ReplyDeleteA Little Dose of Makeup
My go to brushes at the moment! x
DeleteI bought this set years ago and still use a few of the brushes to this day - brilliant for the price although the eye brushes do tend to deteriorate faster than the core collection (probably because of the size haha)
ReplyDeleteIqra |The Blushing Giraffe x
There's a few brushes I'd repurchase the set for! x
DeleteReal Techniques brushes are one of the best drugstore brushes. Great quality and not as pricey. Lovely post! x
ReplyDeletewww.ninzbeauty.com
Yep, loving them for those reasons! Thank you x
DeleteHaven't tried those brushes but I do have real technique brushes. I love them
ReplyDeleteYou would love these x
DeleteI've never tried these brushes before but I have heard such great things about them.
ReplyDeletexoxo, Jenny || Breakfast at Lillys
They're worth ever rave they get x
DeleteI abso-frickin-lutely love this set of brushes! The deluxe crease brush is my favourite in the set as it's so soft and blends out my shadows perfectly.
ReplyDeleteI haven't actually used my brow brush for my brows yet... Perhaps I should, haha. My current brow brush is on its last legs (or bristles, should I say?).
Great post lovely! xx
Kathryn | Chapters of Kat ❤
I think I love them as much as you! The crease brush is one of the reasons I wanted this set! Oh yeah do try the brow brush out! Thanks Kat! xx
DeleteReal Techniques is awesome! I own almost all of their regular brushes, but I really want the new gold ones, but they are a bit pricey. I also just bought their gel brush cleaner, and it makes their brushes even softer, and smell amazing. Thanks for sharing :) These brushes really are great.
ReplyDeleteGosh you must love them to own majority of them ha! The bold metals are gorgeous looking! I read a post the other day about their brush cleaner! x
DeleteI LOVE LOVE LOVE Real Techniques brushes - I used the foundation blender and it's my favorite.
ReplyDeleteLove all their brushes I own, I couldn't say I dislike any! x
DeleteHave you tried the "it" brushes from Ulta? They are to-do for!
ReplyDeleteNo because we don't get Ulta in the UK! x
DeleteI'll have to try these brushes!! They look amazing, I use elf or MAC brushes and I've never heard of these!
ReplyDeletexo Adriana - Daily Dose of Design
I've heard some of these brushes are better than mac! x
DeleteReal Techniques are one of my FAVORITE brush brands! The quality is top notch - I am shocked (yet very thankful) they are so affordable!! I also love the way they look as well, in such pretty bright colors!
ReplyDeleteThe quality and the price are incredible! x
DeleteI was really tempted to pick up this set in the offer just for the base shadow brush as it's just the best and one I use everyday but you can't get it individually! xx
ReplyDeleteJasmine Talks Beauty | Zoeva Giveaway
It's really annoying you can't get it separately because it's great for shadow! x
DeleteI haven't tried these brushes but I've got the face brushes and I love them! xxx
ReplyDeleteYou would love these then! x
DeleteI bought this set because everyone needs purple brushes in their lives, but my sister took the lot - and Core Collection - for herself lol. I'm eyeing their new rose gold brushes now.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a typical sister haha! x
DeleteThese are beautiful brushes! I need to get some new brushes, and these would be perfect!
ReplyDelete*adds to basket* hehe! x
DeleteWow, those are great looking brushes! Love the handles and the brush heads look so soft but substantial. I need to try Real Techniques one of these days...I just need to make room for more brushes, lol
ReplyDeleteYou're missing out, you need to buy them! Create more room because you need them in your collection! x
DeleteOoh what a barg!! I need some better brushes, mine are really cheap and they do the job but it's just not as good as it looks on youtubers!
ReplyDeletesheepishlyshameful.blogspot.co.uk
Well, your makeup will look flawless with these brushes! x
DeleteI love these brushes along with the core collection, they pretty much make up my whole make-up brush collection, lovely post x
ReplyDeleteSophie | ssophiespot.blogspot.co.uk
Same as me, I only use Real Technique brushes within my routine with a few exceptions! x
DeleteI am brushed obsessed and always looking to add to my collection. I love how sleek they look and the bristle look so great.
ReplyDeleteOh trust me, so am I! These should totally be added to your collection next! x
DeleteReal Techniques always comes through! You can't go wrong with either of their sets
ReplyDeleteCan't go wrong with any of their brushes! x

ReplyDeleteAha I'm glad! They sell them on their official website x
DeleteI love my Sigma brushes but I've wanted to try these for a while.
ReplyDeleteI'm the opposite - I love these brushes but have wanted to try Sigma for a while! x
DeleteThese are the only eye makeup brushes I own and I really like them! The only problem is that five eye makeup brushes don't seem to be enough anymore :D. All the RT brushes are amazing!Xx
ReplyDeleteAnu♡ | Based On | bloglovin
Haha I wish to get more eye brushes in the future from them, maybe their Bold Metals because they look stunning! x
DeleteThese brushes are amazing! I only use those and the results are always good. I also love the blender, you should try it, it really is a gem! (I have a review on it, it's in my top 5 drugstores picks if you're interested, btw! :-)) xx
ReplyDeleteBitchin' Pam'

DeleteI love getting new brushes :) I just started to really clean my old ones and it's amazing how much dirt and old make up gets stuck in them.
ReplyDeleteNothing better! Yeah it's disgusting and wouldn't think there'd ever be that much! x

Aren't they just! Oh you do! x
DeleteRT brushes are so awesome! I love the face brushes the most and use several every day. You must pick up the blush brush (I use it as an all over powder brush) and the buffing brush (I think this comes in a kit; you can't get it alone), but they're must-haves for me :)
ReplyDeleteI can't choose if I prefer the eye or face brushes! I own the buffing brush and love it! Never tried the blush brush! x
DeleteI love my real techniques brushes. How do you wash yours btw?
ReplyDeleteJoanna
I just use shampoo and water! x
DeleteI loved the RT core collection but I didn't pick up the eye collection as I don't need all of the brushes. The deluxe cream brush sounds great though, I might see if I can buy it separately :)
ReplyDeleteVelvet Blush
I picked it up because I'm a bit of a collector that way! I'm not sure if you can, sadly! x
DeleteI haven't tried RT brushes yet, but they're high on my wishlist!! They look stunning indeed!!
ReplyDeleteIlse | www.ilsedanielle.com

DeleteI've never tried these brushes before! I'll have to at some point. I currently use Eco Tools and LOVE them. I probably have every single brush the company has made haha
ReplyDeleteI am get to try Eco tools! x
DeleteI'm always looking for new brushes! These look great! Thanks for sharing!

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this!
Excuse to buy them then! x
DeleteNever tried this brand before but they look great. I love that they are labeled, so cool!
ReplyDeleteIt's an extra little touch! x
DeleteI love this set, but I have been a bit guilty of forgetting about them since my zoeva brushes arrive. I'll make sure to use them tomorrow!

ReplyDeleteLove them no matter the use! x
Deletethank you for sharing! I never have good brushes
ReplyDeleteYou need these then! x
DeleteGreat effort getting them so cheap! I'm glad you like them, I found I didn't get on that well with all of them! Love the base shadow brush though. Hadn't thought of using the brow brush to smoke out shadows though, will have to try to do that! Gweni xxxx
