Brand Focus:The Real Techniques Brushes


Hi everyone!
I have been wanting to do this blog post for so long and it is finally here! Today I am doing a brand focus on The Real Technique Brushes! Yay!

Now this is really exciting because not only do I love make up brushes but the creator of this brand is a fellow Youtuber. Her name is Samantha Chapman and she has a YouTube channel with her sister Nic Chapman called Pixiwoo!

So I am going to tell you a little about the line and then I will get into each of the brushes.

-Now these brushes are synthetic brushes. Which means that the bristles are cruelty free, soft, and creates flawless definition.
-These brushes are color coded. Some of you are probably wondering what each color means. The orange color is for creating a flawless base. The purple color is for enhancing the eyes. The pink color is for the perfect finish.
-Each brush hand is hand cut to a specific shape for specific uses.

And the best thing is that these brushes are so inexpensive but such good quality!

All this information is here.

Now on to the make up brushes!

This brush is the Expert Face Brush. This brush is specifically used for foundation. I think this brush gives you flawless glowing skin. I think this brush is easy to use, you do not need to put a lot of foundation on your face because with this brush a little goes a long way. I also really like the handle of this brush because its sleek and easy to hold while you blend your foundation into your skin.


This is the Buffing Brush. They do not sell this individually but they do sell it in a set. I love this brush for bronzer. Now, when I first got this brush, I had no idea what I was going to use it for. I apply my bronzer with this because the brush is dense, it is flat top, and you have completely control of where you want your bronzer to go. You definitely can use this brush any way you like but that is just how I use it. 


The next brush is the Stippling Brush. This brush is so versatile because you can use it for foundation or for concealer or for cream blushes. I use this brush for all three of these things. Lately I have been using it for cream blushes. But it works well for all three of those things. I also like how small it is because it makes blending precise. Some stippling brushes are so big that you cannot use it for multiple purposes but this brush you can. 


This brush is the Multi-Task Brush. I enjoy this brush. It is not my favorite but it is a good brush. The only thing I use this brush for is to put on powder. It puts my face powder on evenly, smoothly and not cakey. Since this brush is round shaped and not dense, the powder just glides on your face and stays put. I like that this brush is so big but the handle is so thin so you still can grip it well. 


This is the Deluxe Crease Brush. This is not sold on it's own, it is sold in a set. This brush is versatile for a couple of things, concealer and blending eye shadow in your crease. Now I have tried this brush both ways and I prefer to only use it for my eyes. Personally, it did not work well to blend out my concealer, it kinda made my concealer streaky. But for blending eye shadow into the crease, this is fantastic. This is small yet dense which is perfect to add a lot of color or not so much. It is easy to use and precise.


This is the Base Shadow Brush. This brush is amazing for eye shadow! It is great for packing eye shadow onto the lid. Blending eye shadow, as well as putting eye shadow in the crease. This brush is so versatile. I also really like how fluffy it is.


This brush is Accent Brush. This brush is SUPER DUPER TINY! This brush is the perfect brush for putting eye shadow into the inner corner. That is all I use this brush for and nothing else. It puts enough eye shadow onto the brush without putting so much that it causes fall out. I think this brush fits perfectly into the inner corner. Love it!


This is the Pointed Foundation Brush. This is the only brush out of my collection that I had no use for. The reason is that I do not like these brushes to apply my foundation. But what I can tell you is that the tip on the end is perfect for getting into those colors around your nose. This brush is not as dense as most foundation brushes are. If you like using these types of brushes but you like light coverage foundation, this is the brush for you. 


This is the Setting Brush. This brush is amazing! This brush has gotten a lot of hype on YouTube and for a good reason. This is great for setting your concealer. This fits perfectly under your eyes and it adds enough powder to set your concealer but not to much powder that causes cakiness. I also have been loving using this brush for powder highlight. Since this brush is pretty small, it works great to put enough highlight to not make your face look like a disco ball.



This is the Brow Brush. I do not use this brush for my eye brows. I use this brush for eyeshadow to create eye liner. I really like using black eyeshadow and this brush works perfectly to make the perfect precise line. This brush creates a smooth line and it actually makes the powder liner look like gel. I have not tried this brush on my brows but I think this would work well for that to. This brush is a little denser than most of the angled brushes and that is why this brush works so well.


This is the Miracle Complexion Sponge. I put this in my April favorites and I explained how much I loved it. This sponge is so unique because of how it is shaped. I have been loving using this for my foundation and my concealer. I also love how inexpensive this is. I heard it is a dupe for the Beauty Blender and I cannot say if it is true or not because I have never tried the Beauty Blender. I think this is a great sponge if you do not like brushes but like using a sponge for your foundation. 

I hope you enjoyed this brand focus! I enjoyed writing this post for you! I hope you all have a wonderful day/night!

Carpe Diem,
Sophia

Battle of the BB Creams!

Hello everyone! Now as you all can tell, I love the Battle of the series. The reason why is because I can review a bunch of products for you all in one blog post. Since it is summer and not many of you want to wear a ton of make up, I thought I would tell you my favorite BB creams. I also want to let you know that there might not be many blog posts in the month of July. The reason is because I am in college at the moment and I am super busy. I will try to put up as many as I can but I just want to let you all know! :) I hoped you all had a wonderful June! What is a BB cream?    Now BB stands for blemish balm. A BB cream is supposed to have a moisturizer, primer, concealer, skin treatment and foundation all in one. BB creams have been all the rage for a while now but not many people talk about them anymore.   NOW LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE! Round 1: This is the  L'oreal Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream . This BB cream was one of the first BB creams that ...

First Impression: Sephora Favorites Meet Your Match!

Hello everyone! I am super excited to be doing my first first impression blog post! Yay! Now I got this a while ago but I have not really touched it or played around with it. A first impression is basically my opinion on these products and how I think of them the first time I swatch them, use them , stuff like that. Now this is a value set from Sephora and it is the  Sephora Favorites Meet Your Match .  Now this was pretty popular among some YouTubers a while back and I really liked the products and wanted to try them and it was only $25 for 6 sample size products. Which I thought was a pretty good deal.  Packaging:  I love the packaging. I thought it stands out because of the bright colors and the interesting print on the cardboard. I also love the concept of matching you lip gloss to your nail polish. I thought it was a really fun idea for summer.  Match 1: This is the first lip product that I want to tell you all about an...

Spring Trends 2014!

Hi Everyone! Spring is finally here! I am so excited for spring because I am tired of the cold. But where I live it is still freezing.....oh spring, where are you? Anyways, I wanted to show you all my favorite Spring Trends for 2014! Even though summer is my favorite season, spring trends this years are really fun. My first favorite trend is blood orange lips! Now when I first saw this trend I got really confused because the blood orange color seems more like a summer trend. But this has been all over makeup magazines and this trend was also popular on the runway during Fashion Week. What I really like about this trend is that your whole make up look can be soft and dewy and the POW! Blood orange lips! The lips seem to make any makeup look put together. Plus it makes you stand out and then you will be a trendsetter. The next trend that I have been loving is pastels!  Pastels is always a trend during the spring time but pastels are just amazing! But this year it seems...
