Cheap Thrills: Real Techniques Expert Face Brush Review.

I’ve been getting free samples from PINCHme lately and one of the things they sent me was the Real Techniques Expert Face Brush.

I'm a foundation brush.

This is not an expensive brand and I was like, “Eh. Cheap brush. Pass." because this is the kind of terrible person I am. Then I decided to give it a try anyway and holy crap, this is a really good foundation brush. I generally just slap my foundation on with my fingers and call it done, but the finish I got using this brush was beautiful. I even took a selfie to try to capture it:

Obviously this is not the best quality brush I’ve ever used so I have no idea how it'll hold up over time, but for that price, who cares? It gives me a perfect, even, poreless finish and my foundation seems to last longer. It’s a game-changer! It’s available on Amazon (25% off) which is nice. Real Techniques has a whole line and travel kits, so if fancy brushes aren’t in the budget (or even if they are) I’d check these out.

Just to be clear, PINCHme sent me the brush along with some other samples - I was under no obligation to write a review of any kind but this brush impressed me and I like to review inexpensive things that impress me.

    I've been using their blush brush for a few months, and it has been really good!

    Real Techniques make very good quality brushes. Price and quality are not synonymous. I've had several of them for well over a year and they are like new. But I'm jealous that PinchMe actually sent you something good! Usually I get a packet of terrible shampoo or stinky Beyone perfume or nothing at all.

    OK, I am the biggest cosmetics snob out there, and owned super pricey MAC, Urban Decay and Stila brushes across the board. That is, until I tried RT. Again and again, I reach for my Real Techniques brushes. So much so that most of my expensive, "will last a lifetime" brushes are in my makeup case I reserve for Makeup Purgatory. They. Are. That. Good. They wash up really nice, too, and never shed.

    Real Techniques is also available at Kohl's - just an FYI. I bought their makeup sponge, and I love it. I've never tried applying foundation with a brush. I may have to try that.

    Also available at Target, Fred Meyer if you live in the NW...my daughter uses them and told me how good they were...(we also have splurged on all the well known brands) I still need to buy one or two.

    The RT brushes are great- they'll last and last and won't budge. I have 4 of them, I've had them for at least 3 years, probably more, and they're like new and they work really, really well.
