As you know from our last post, you can see that here at Animal Zone, one of the most important things is cruelty free beauty and we have made it our mission to enlighten people about this subject
Most recently I have purchased a makeup brush set called " The Core Collection" from Real Techniques!
This set contains four brushes;
-The Detailer Brush
- The Pointed Foundation Brush
-The Buffing Brush
-The Contour Brush
-Panoramic Case
As Pictured Below!
Each of the four brushes have different uses including applying foundation(liquid, mineral or powder), applying lipstick, highlighter, eyeshadow, bronzer and blusher.
A overview of the brushes is that that are all 100% cruelty free, all hand precision cut and the way in which they are build means that they will last you a really long time! They have a flat surface at the bottom of the brush, which means that they can stand on their own on flat surfaces!
The contour brush, this brush can be used to apply highlighter, blusher and bronzer. It is really soft which is important as you wouldn't want to be applying your makeup with a rock hard brush! I personally won1 be using this brush a lot, not because I don't like it, because I don't really apply that much blusher, bronzer & highlighter! But when I do wear it I will be using this brush as I find it works with every different face shape! I also like the fact that the brush is quite compact so you could put it in your bag and take it on your travels! One negative I would say is that this brush is one available in the Core Collection Set, which can be a bit of a pain if you just need the one brush! But the sets in most cases do work out better value for money.
The next brush is the buffing brush, this is used to apply either powder or mineral foundation, however it could also be used to apply bronzer, highlighter or blusher but extra care should be taken not to apply too much of it! I have used this brush to apply some of my powder foundation and I found that it gives a even coverage! I personally wouldn't use it for wither blusher or bronzer as I think it would become too much! Again, This brush can only be bought in a set but a few reviews have said it is very similar to the expert face brush but i wouldn't know as i don't own them both!(yet ! lol ). As I said previously with the contour brush, the brush is soft, it is well structured and it has a flat base so it is able to free stand!
The next brush the detailer brush, this is used for concealer, eyeshadow, to toucher up foundation and even lipstick! Now I must say this is my FAVOURITE brush! Simply because you can use it for pretty much everything! I've used it for mineral eyeshadow and concealer and it is definitely one of my favourites! Like with all Real Techniques brushes, they are soft, well made and cruelty free! The only down side of this brush is the fact you can only buy it in a set, otherwise I would purchase many more of them! Like the other brushes in the set, this one also has a flat base meaning that it can free stand!
The last brush of the core collection is the pointed foundation brush, This is used to apply liquid foundation and I must admit that I have used this brush as of yet as I haven't purchased my foundation yet. But I am excited to use it! It has all the same features as the other brushes in the core collection, freestanding, soft brushes. And i feel like this will be one of the brushes which I use on a daily basis! This brush can also be used for concealer as well! The only negative of this brush is the pointed foundation brush can only be brought in this set. However there is another Real Techniques foundation brush on the market which you can buy separately, however I haven`t purchased it as of yet!
As a whole, I LOVE this set and Real Techniques, there are some quite good deals on at the moment with their brushes including buy one get one half price at Boots so go get it while you can!
I will definately be purchasing Real Techniques Brushes again!
