Real Techniques make-up brushes...
I am a huge huge huge fan when it comes to anything make-up related, brushes being no exception! My favourite brand of brushes are Real Techniques by Samantha Chapman, they are amazing quality; the brushes are sooooo soft and they are affordable too!
I came across these brushes through my love of youtube, one of the owners of the channel 'Pixiwoo' is Samantha Chapman (the creator of these brushes). I would definitely recommend checking out these brushes and Sam and Nic Chapman of 'Pixiwoo' on youtube, they are both make-up artists and do fabulous make-up tutorials!

Powder brush
|
I love the powder brush, it has such a large surface which makes it so easy to sweep my Rimmel Stay Matte powder over my face, I always keep this brush in my handbag whenever I go anywhere it is so handy and is of such a size that it would never get lost in my bag!
 |
| Blush brush |
I use the blush brush (surprisingly) to apply blusher to the apples of my cheeks, the shape of the brush makes it so easy to apply the colour to exactly where you want it! I sometimes also use this brush to bronze my face in the summer, for those days where I am looking a bit to pasty for my own good!
 |
| Contour brush |
The contour brush is what I use to contour my (otherwise non-existent) cheekbones being so mall it makes the application so precise and if I only apply bronzer to the tip I can use the edges to blend, I also use this brush to highlight different areas of my face.
 |
Buffing brush
|
I use the buffing brush to apply my foundation. This is such an amazing brush, it applies my foundation so flawlessly; leaving no streaks and allowing me to blend it seamlessly into my neck (to avoid tide lines).
 |
| Pointed foundation brush |
I only occasionally use this brush to apply my foundation since I am so in love
with the buffing brush for foundation application. When I do use this brush for my foundation I use it on days where I feel i need more coverage, I use it to concentrate foundation onto these problem areas for maximum coverage.
 |
Detailer brush
|
I use the detailer brush to apply concealer to my problem areas, I either use it to apply concealer to any blemishes I may have or to apply concealer to any under eye discolouration.

 |
Deluxe crease brush
|
I use the deluxe crease brush when applying a darker colour of eye shadow in my socket for extra definition, it blends colours amazingly and its flat top makes it super easy to use!
 |
Base shadow brush
|
The base shadows brush is the brush that I use to apply a wash of colour to my lid, the brush applies eye shadows effortlessly and can be used to blend any unwanted lines.
 |
Brow brush
I use the brow brush to fill in my rather sparse brows, I see a strong brow as being very important in a make up look as the frame my eyes. Without this brush to fill in my eyebrows I would feel like I had lost a very important feature on my face.
|
I love the colours these brushes come in too, they are so pretty and I find having pretty make-up brushes makes doing my make-up even more exciting!
