One thing I've noticed throughout my adventures into makeup is that you're hard pressed to find a brush with the primary purpose of highlighting. Think about it, there are shadow brushes, blush brushes, foundation brushes, even contour brushes, but how many highlighting brushes can you think of? Off the top of my head, I can only think of 1 or 2. Of course some brushes have highlighting in their descriptions but it's usually just an afterthought, being shadowed by a larger use like blush or foundation. In my personal collection I use a number of different brushes for my highlighting needs, none of which were originally intended or bought primarily for highlighting, but get the job done superbly!
If you've been a reader of my blog for a while now you may be familiar with my love for Sam Chapman's Real Techniques brushes, especially the Stippling Brush (review here). So when I saw 3 new YouTube videos from the Real Techniques channel featuring new brushes my face just lit up! Check them out after the jump!
First and foremost, these Real Technique face brushes are just so darn cute, aren't they? They look like pretty little flowers. Anyways...the second flower in my Real Technique garden is the Blush brush. A bit of this review is going to be pretty much a repeat of the RT Stippling Brush Review I featured a week ago, as the quality of this line of brushes is across-the-board superb. But I do have to admit that at first I did not share the same enthusiasm for this brush as I did for the Stippling Brush. However, that soon changed...find out how after the jump!
No, what you're looking at here is not a pretty dandelion, it's better than that: it's the best stippling brush ever made! I purchased the Real Techniques Stippling Brush as part of an ULTA haul a while ago, so I've had plenty of time to play with it and let me tell you, it's amazing. I've been a huge fan of the Pixiwoo sisters since I began my journey into makeup madness and I credit them with my ability to not make myself look like a fool when I dress my face up. So there was no hesitation when I found out that Samantha Chapman was coming out with her own brush line, I knew I had to have them all. I wasn't prepared to find my holy grail of stippling brushes as I'd all but given up on using stippling brushes to apply foundations. But I can tell you now that this is one brush you DO NOT want to pass up on your next trip to ULTA! Find out why this brush will change your life after the jump!
