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

Beauty and Random Favorites for 2014!

Happy 2015 Everyone! I hope that the start of 2015 is going well for you all. I am super excited to be sharing my top 2014 products with you. At the end of the blog post, I will be sharing some random favorites as well. I hope you all enjoy! Face: I have two favorite foundations for 2014. The first one is a high end foundation and it is the  Tarte Amazonian Clay 12- Hour Full Coverage Foundation . I have the shade Medium-Tan Honey. This is my special occasion foundation. Since it is pretty expensive ( $38) I do not want to use it every day. My favorite part of this foundation is how much it looks like skin on your face but it looks like a more flawless version of my skin. But I personally do not like the cake face look and I like the more natural look and this foundation gives it to me. The second foundation is from the drugstore and it is the  Loreal True Match Super-Blendable Make up . I am in the shade W3. I heard about this foundation all over YouTube but ...

Summer Foundation Routine 2015

Hi Everyone! I have been wanting to do this blog post for a couple of months now but I really wanted to test out the product and make sure that I really stand by my opinions. Everyone in the beauty community has been talking about the  L'Oreal Infallible Pro-Matte 24HR Foundation . I have been using my ride or die foundation, the L'Oreal True Match Foundation for years. So I was a little hesitant to try out a new foundation. Once I have found something I love, I don't like to stray away from it. I went to a couple of different places to figure out the best price for the foundation. This foundation can vary from $11 to $13, depending on where you go. I got mine at CVS because I had a coupon. I got my color in 107 Fresh Biege. I want to tell you two very important things about my skin. I have a yellow undertone to my skin and I have dry skin. Especially in my T zone area. So if you have a pink undertone, I do not recommend this foundation. Most of the ...

My Love for Pandora Jewelry!

Hello! I am super excited to be doing this blog post because it's about a topic that I have not really talked about on my blog. Today I will be talking about jewelry! Now ever since I was little, I have always wanted a Pandora bracelet. So many of my friends had them and my teachers had them and I was always so in love. Besides my Tiffany bracelet, my Pandora jewelry is my most prized jewelry pieces. So today I thought I would share my jewelry pieces from Pandora Jewelry  for you all! Three of the items I just got yesterday but I just had to share them with you because I am obsessed. So here we go! The first and my favorite Pandora item is my bracelet. The reason this is my favorite Pandora piece is because I got this as a graduation present from my parents and my little brother. My parents knew how much I wanted a Pandora bracelet and the fact that they took the time to pick out these charms specifically for my graduation present means the world to me. A lot of people thi...
