Real TechniquesSetting Brush With Ultra Plush Custom Cut Synthetic Bristles and Extended Aluminum Ferrules to Build Coverage

Live Real Techniques brushes. This brush is not a disappointment, especially for the price. I have a significant number of higher quality brushes, but keep RT in the rotation… they are soft, are great for blending and lighter days, and hold up in shape. Not only that, but they also remain soft long after other brushes at this price point become scratchy and streaky.This brush specifically is wonderful at laying down highlighter, but more surprisingly, I love it for powder placement/budding under my eyes and along the sides of my nose. It’s precise and pleasant to use, making it an effective brush for those days when I’m too busy/lazy to wash my regular go to brush. Plus… it’s cheap enough that I don’t feel bad that it’s technically a double of something I already own. No disappointment here, even if the bristles fall out after a year or it loses softness/effectiveness.

This is the best brush.... I took pics of the highlighting brushes I love the most, all for different types of products. The brighter, darker pink BH Cosmetics (No. 4 from the Carnival Celebration brush set) is really nice for cream highlighters like the IT Cosmetics Hello Light Cream luminizer. Next, the Real Techniques Setting Brush 402 (light metallic pink brush) is my FAVORITE brush right now. It's amazing for highlighting, setting the parts of your face you want powdered, setting under eyes, cream contour, since it's synthetic and small it can be super precise yet it can also buff a super glossy looking highlighter into you cheeks beautifully. It's very multipurpose. Now we come to the DUcare brush (long black one, no number) it's an exact DUPE of the Anastasia Beverly Hills A23 brush. This is a synthetic brush that is listed as a blending brush but I think if you're using it on your eyes it won't work too well. This brush is exactly what you want to apply highlighter in a soft application at the tops of cheekbones. Softly tap the skin for a beautiful application of a metallic, blinding highlight. Or buff a super glossy highlight from tops of cheekbones to temples for an ethereal glow. The BEST way I've found to use this one is with your Super Shock Highlights. Tap the brush in and buff for a glowy look of swirl the brush in your product to pick up a little more, buff to melt in to the skin and glow to the Gods! I highly recommend this brush! The last brush in the picture is important. It's my Heavenly Luxe Mega-Fat Fan brush and after I've done my base products, bronzed, highlighted and blushed I take my Makeup Revolution Radiance palette (dupe for Hourglass Ambient Lighting palette) and I buff my skin making sure everything is blended and soft. This brush and these powders are the perfect combination! Finally, I spray my face with Fix Plus. Make sure you're melting the powders into the MAKEUP so you don't look powdery and textured.

I have used this brush for many months now. Let me tell you, this thing holds up to every day use! So far, I have not noticed any bristles falling out of it. The brush also maintains its shape beautifully! I mainly use it to apply cream blush, but I have also used it for applying liquid foundation. It does a great job applying both. You will not be disappointed in this brush. It is the best one I own, and I have purchased much more expensive brushes that have not held up nearly as well as this one.

Love this brush for setting under eyes and to blur pores in cheeks. Highly recommend

I just love the Real Techniques brushes -- they are so soft. Seriously, you'll just want to keep brushing it across your face whether you're putting makeup on or not. But I actually do use this brush -- mostly for adding a bit of setting powder under my eye. It also works really well for highlighters and for dusting off any fallout from your eyeshadow. Lots of uses for this little beauty. And while the handle is a nice smooth metal, the end has a rubber feel so it's really easy to hold on to. Just a nice brush all around.I have several of their brushes and they have all lasted a long time. I wash this brush about once a week and so far I haven't seen any shedding, and after being washed, it looks new again. I really like that the tips of the hairs are white because then it's easier to tell when it's clean. I use the Ecotools brush shampoo and it works well. I do recommend that you wash your brushes regularly if you want them to last. Plus, clean brushes just apply makeup much better.I recommend pretty much all of their brushes, but make sure you are getting an authentic one. It wasn't until I started reading more reviews that I read about some people receiving fake ones. The one I got was in authentic looking packaging and I have another RT setting brush that I purchased at Ulta -- so I know it's real -- and this one weighs exactly the same (.3 oz/9 grams) and the writing is exactly the same as well (Real Techniques by Sam & Nic). Mine isn't shedding and the bristles feel exactly the same, really soft. My other brush also has a metallic handle, but it's a different color, more of a rainbow color. But it was part of a holiday gift set and wasn't a stand alone brush. If this one is a fake, then it's the best fake I've ever seen. I will update my review if anything changes or the brush starts shedding, but I think I got an authentic one. If this seller isn't selling fakes, they need to contact the customers who believe they received a counterfeit brush and make things right. I have noticed that the reviews seems to be about a wide variety of brushes and some people received some that weren't even in the correct packaging, so clearly fakes. Maybe the seller got their brushes from different distributors, but I recommend they figure things out because selling counterfeit items is not only against Amazon policies, but it's illegal.

Great price point and this brush is great with absolutely no fall out at all!! I use it to brush away my setting powder on my eye lids and under my eyes, it is the perfect size for this function. It is extremely soft with the perfect amount of stiffness to remove my powder. It cleans easily also. Although I use it for powder it has many functions that you can use it for applying makeup.

Very simple face brush, I use this to dust away my setting powder that didn’t settle. Also good to dust away eyeshadow that fell to my cheeks.
