Assuming these three brushes are indicative of the whole set, which also includes a setting brush and a blending sponge, we think this is the best option for the majority of makeup wearers. However, the crease brush is excellent for other steps in your routine, such as dabbing concealer on the inner corner of your eyes, spreading your eyeshadow primer on your lid, or precise tasks like contouring around the nose.Īcross all three of the Real Techniques brushes we tested, the bristles felt feather-soft and didn't lose their texture, even after I washed them with my Zote Laundry Bar Soap. If you don't have a defined crease (the contour between the lid and the browbone), you may find it too fluffy of a brush for the deliberate application of shadow for creating the illusion of depth. The bristles are fluffy and not densely packed like the Expert Face Brush, and it didn't absorb an excess amount of product, meaning that what I applied onto the brush was exactly how much product appeared on my skin.Īs for the Deluxe Crease Brush, it has short bristles and a round, dome shape, which fit the curvature of my round eyes perfectly and deposited exactly the quantity of eyeshadow I expected with every swipe. The 402 Setting Brush was the only powder brush tested that I loved for dusting on both setting powder and for blush and bronzer.

Cream foundation took a bit more blending, as it's a thicker formula than liquid, but the effort still yielded an airbrushed appearance. The shape of the brush isn't perfectly cylindrical like most of the other foundation brushes we tested rather, it's flat on its front and back. The bristles of the Expert Face Brush, which I used for applying both cream and liquid foundations, are tightly packed, meaning liquid foundation looked smooth and streak-free. The Expert Face Brush, 402 Setting Brush, and Deluxe Crease Brush found in the Real Techniques Everyday Essentials five-piece, synthetic set were hands-down the best brushes we tried.

We also chose the Sephora Collection Deluxe Brush Set ( available at Sephora) as the Best Upgrade option for serious beauty buffs who want greater brush variety and durability. Won the title of Best Overall for its feather-soft bristles, ability to beautifully blend makeup as well as withstand washing without losing structure, and great value.

Our conclusion: The Real Techniques Everyday Essentials We tested out the most frequently used brush types (foundation brush, powder brush, and eye crease brush) from 11 makeup brush sets of varying price and quality.

Whether you're a beauty pro or a novice, makeup brushes remain the most integral part of depositing makeup for whatever result you’re looking to achieve.įor most people, investing in a makeup brush set, versus buying each brush individually, makes sense. It's easy to get distracted with the slew of glow-inducing highlighters and eye-catching eyeshadow palettes available-until it comes time to apply them. Makeup brushes are an underestimated part of our beauty routines.
