Real Techniques Expert Face Brush - Review





I have been using this brush for a while now to apply my liquid foundation. I much prefer it over the Real Techniques Foundation Brush, which I have been using to blend my concealer. In my review of the Foundation Brush, I said I wanted to give the Buffing Brush a go. However, after much research online, I decided that the Expert Face Brush would be much better suited to me as I use a liquid foundation. The Expert Face Brush is specifically for cream or liquid foundation.

The brush has a lightweight, aluminium handle, which makes it super easy to use and hold. The bristles are made from synthetic taklon and are 100% cruelty free. The bristles are soft and feel so gentle and luxurious on your face. The brush is ultra film and broad, allowing smooth application and making it easy to blend your foundation. As the bristles are short and dense, they pick up more foundation and leave you with a heavier coverage. This is perfect for those days when you have pesky spots or, like me, every day! The base of the brush is flat, meaning it can stand up on its own.

The Real Techniques brushes are created by Samantha Chapman. Her tutorial video for the Expert Face Brush can be found here. I have become slightly obsessed with these brushes. I have 5 in my collection now and I want ALL of them. Next time Boots has the 3 for 2 offer on them, I am going to stock up! The others I own are the Blush Brush and the Setting Brush. I will review them soon, but I love them all!

Have you tried the Expert Face Brush? What are your opinions? Which brush do you use to apply foundation?

    I hear such awesome things about Real Technique brushes but I have yet to try one. A little pricey for me but perhaps it's time to suck it up and try one lol

    Great review! I actually just picked up this brush last week as well. I originally gave into the hype and got the bufffing brush a few months ago, but I actually think this one is much better for applying foundation! The flat side makes it so easy to work under the eyes and around the nose

      Oooo thanks for that. So many people mention the buffing brush, but I'm not sure if they know this one. This one is perfect for liquid foundation.

    I've just ordered the Real Techniques Core Collection set, I'm very excited to try their brushes after hearing so many good things about them! I'm not a big fan of foundation brushes though so may give this one a go if it's not in the kit!

      Have you not looked to see what's in it? Lol. You will get a pointed foundation brush and the buffing brush, which lots of people like. The expert face brush is better suited for liquid foundation so it depends what you use. I hope you like your purchase :)
