Real Techniques Travel Essentials Makeup Brush Kit, Makeup Brushes, Perfect For On The Go, Multicolored, Vegan Synthetic Makeup Brush Bristles, 4 Piece Set

Over the past few months, I have discovered the benefits of investing in quality makeup brushes. I have been gradually adding to my collection and have found Real Techniques brushes to be very good and reasonably priced. I started with the Starter Set, followed by the Angled Foundation Brush, the Blush Brush, and now the Travel Essentials Set. This set would actually make the perfect starter set for somone new to makeup and/or brushes. The foundation brush works great. It really blends well and I feel like it actually works faster than my Shany foundation brush of the same style (I use L'Oreal True Match Liquid Foundation). The Multitask Brush can be used to apply blush, powder, etc. For me, I find it better suited as a blush brush but it really can be used for anything. I don't usually wear mineral powder foundation but I had some laying around (L'Oreal) and I tried applying it with the Multitask Brush and it looks great. This is the best I've been able to get it to look, so I may use it more in the future. The Domed Shadow Brush is sized between the Base Shadow Brush and the Deluxe Crease Brush from the Starter Set. It works well for applying shadow all over the lid, in the crease, and blending, which allows you to create a complete look with only one brush. I also use it to apply concealer. The brushes are well made. They all have a nice weight and feel good in my hands. The hairs are soft and easy to clean. I washed them immediately and a few times since with Johnson's Baby Shampoo (the Calming Lavender is amazing!) and they held up with no shedding. I also use brush cleaner after every use. Overall, I can't find fault with this set. Its versatilitly really does make this a perfect starter set. I feel like this should be renamed to the "Starter Set" or just the "Essential Set" because this set really does contain the essentials for every day use, not just for traveling. I definitely recommend this set for anyone new to makeup, anyone on a budget, or anyone who just wants to keep things simple. You can achieve a complete look (foundation, concealer, eyeshadow, blush, and powder) with just these threee brushes. I look forward to trying my next Real Techniques brush, the Expert Face Brush. I'd also like to point out that that Real Techniques has a YouTube channel where they post tutorials for all of their brushes plus lots of extra content. They're informative and fun to watch.

Anyone who has ever used Real Techniques brushes know that this brand is simply incredible! The quality of what you get, and the great price of the brushes makes it a staple in anyone's makeup bag and a repeat purchase! I have every brush in the RT collection and finally decided to get the Travel Essentials set to add to my RT collection. Of course, I knew these brushes would be no different from my other beloved RT brushes. They are all so great. The bristles are soft, making it great for my sensitive skin. The bristles hold powder/cream/liquids like a dream! The application is smooth and the brush just seems to glide across your skin setting makeup in place. My favorite brush in this pack is the Multi-use brush (the fluffy pink one). It's great for applying my powders all over my face to set my foundations. I can also use the same brush to apply my blushes, powders or creams! The foundation brush in this set is bigger than the foundation brush in the Core set, making this one more likely to use. The smaller one I only use for concealer. The bigger bristle head on this brush does make applying cream or liquid foundations a little easier than the Core set Foundation brush. I really enjoy that they have put an eye brush in this set too. It truly is a travel set. You get your foundation brush, your multi-tasker, and an eye brush. You can do a complete look from home or on the road for travel with this one kit. The packaging is cute, and you still get that great brush holder to carry your brushes with you wherever you go. This ensures your brushes stay in place and don't get messed up like they would in your cosmetic bag. RT has done it again and made my loyalty to their brand even greater! If you are a first time purchaser of Real Techniques, I would highly recommend this Travel set AND the Core set and I promise you won't be disappointed! Both sets are great and you'll get a great idea of how RT brushes work. You'll be so pleased and want to start collecting them all.

Essential Foundation Brush - Meh. Out of the entire range of RT brushes, I haven't used this one very often because I don't feel like it's big enough to apply foundation to my entire face. I usually reach for my Boots no. 7 or Mary Kay foundation brush. If you like your foundation brushes on the smaller side, you might like this. Multi Task Brush – YES. This brush is my most used out of all my RT brushes. I use it to apply powder foundation, blush, bronzer, highlighter, contour... just a GREAT brush overall, extremely versatile. Domed Shadow Brush – Great for blending eyeshadow. It's on the bigger side of eyeshadow brushes. Panoramic 2-in-1 brush case/stand – Meh, I tossed this because I found it a pain to use. I didn't like that it was always open and that my brushes weren't sealed off from the outside environment when the case was closed. I would prefer if they came in a case like the Sigma brushes, or if they included a cute little bag to keep them in, but that's just me. I don't like having to put each brush back into a specific place, and I feel like this gets dirty and isn't easy to clean. I could do my entire face with these three brushes. I would say that this is my favorite set of brushes out of all the RT brush sets. I've had the full set of these brushes since they first launched in 2012. Since getting them, I've used at least three of them every single day. That's two years of constant use, and they look and preform the same way they did the day I received them. Since getting the full line of these, I have not purchased a single new brush. My old mac brushes lay untouched in the back of my drawer. Not to mention that just one Mac brush costs as much as the whole set of these ones. Did I mention that you can now buy these at Walmart? These brushes are superior to animal hair brushes in every way. They are cruelty free. They are extremely easy to clean-- I timed myself, and I can wash twenty brushes in seven minutes. They do not get stained. I purposely didn't clean red OCC Lip Tar off of my lip brush for a month, and the lip tar came off as easily as any other product. (I use Trader Joe's Tea Tree Body Wash or just regular Equate hand soap to clean mine.) They don't hold any funky smells or bacteria after washing, since the bristles aren't porous, unlike animal hair bristles. For the same reason, they dry off very fast. My RT face brush takes about 30 minutes to dry if I leave it damp on a washcloth, and I can dry it almost completely in a few seconds if I rub the brush against a sham. I've cleaned and dried my brushes right before using them to do my makeup regularly. My mac brushes take hours (sometimes days) to dry completely, even if I wipe them against a sham first. Another advantage of the non-porous bristles is that you don't have to condition them. After washing animal hair brushes, you are supposed to condition them with an oil or conditioner so they stay soft and don't get brittle. If you don't, your brushes will start shedding. The RT brushes don't need to be conditioned, and they don't shed. Then, they are soft. Softer than animal hair. They pick up product and dispense it with ease. Product doesn't linger in the brush nearly as much it does on animal hair brushes, which lets me use less product. Truly a pleasure to use and apply makeup with. My one small gripe is that sometimes product can get stuck on the black grip part of these brushes, but that is hardly an issue since it cleans right off. They just might look a bit dirty after rolling around in your makeup bag. These are so durable and have held up better than any brush I've ever had before. As I said before, I've been using them for two years already and they look and feel the same way they did the day I got them. I'm sure that they will last for years to come. I would give these to a friend. I would repurchase. Affordable, durable, just a great product. These would be a great gift to anyone that wears makeup. I would recommend these over any other brush on the market. I feel that this is a truly superior product in every way.

I was in the market to replace most of my makeup brushes, and in the 15 years since I bought my set of MAC brushes, their prices have seriously gone up (out of my price range). Therefore, I did my research on the best (affordable) makeup brushes, and Real Techniques was consistently rated number one. Some of the important things for me were: 1). Excellent Quality: brushes that had substance, and don't feel flimsy or lightweight when I hold them 2). No Shedding: I can't stand brushes that shed 3). Variety: I don't need a 35 brush set, when I use 12-15 specific brushes. I ONLY wanted great brushes that I need, and I can see how easy it would be to get seduced by the huge brush sets for just $17.99....DON'T do it!! 4). Realistic Price: I can't pay $45 for one brush. But I don't mind paying a little more for really good brushes. I got everything I wanted with this set, the Real Techniques Core Set, and the Stippling Brush. I'll be back FOR SURE to buy the set for eyes, and that will complete my set. I am thrilled with these brushes, I use them daily, I take good care of them (washed them with Brush Shampoo before first use, and I lightly spray them with brush cleaner and wipe them down after each use), the cases are excellent quality, I can even fit my Stippling Brush in with this set, and I have not experienced any shedding after several days of daily use. I absolutely recommend these brushes, and this brand. On their official website, there are even tutorials on how to achieve certain looks, and how to use each brush, very helpful to me since I wasn't sure how to use a Stippling Brush but I'm so glad I bought one, it saves a ton of money in foundation because you use 1/4 the amount used with a flat foundation brush. GET THESE WHILE YOU CAN, AMAZING DEAL!!!

The Real Techniques line of brushes is a real find! What a great deal! They're so much less expensive than some of the "famous" brands, but much better quality than what you can get at the drugstore. I'm not sure I'd qualify this as "travel essentials" set, but admittedly, the brushes get the job done. The foundation brush is too small for my taste, but it's a high-quality brush that can be used for lots of other tasks (eye shadow blending, concealer blending, contouring, etc.). I love the powder brush and use it every day, and the large eye shadow brush is really nice too. The only thing I don't use at all is the travel "case." It's a nice idea, but I don't need it. It works as advertised though, and you can stand brushes up in it. I have bought many of the RT brushes, I highly recommend them!

I was looking for a set of brushes that was good quality, easy to use and beginner friendly. I came across this set and decided it was a good price. I don't regret it. They are very smooth and help me with the final touches because they make the makeup spread out smoothly and evenly. They pick up good amount of product and deposit it nicely on the skin. I use the pink one for blush and it does its job to deposit the color and smoothing it out. I use the purple one for eye shadow, specially if I only have time to deposit one color on my eye lid, and same thing here, it picks up a lot of product and spreads it out evenly. And finally I use the yellow one for powder foundation even though you can use it with any kind of foundation (liquid, cream, compact and loose powder). Easy to use, clean and maintain , the hairs don't fall out when I use them or when I clean them. Very nice for the price. I recommended for all, beginners to expert, you will be surprised what you get for your money. Only thing I don't use is the case, but if you travel this might be a plus for you, as stated in the title.

I own almost all of the Real Techniques brushes at this point, and I have to say I'm impressed with almost every single one. These brushes and their companions are perfect for someone who wants something better than ELF or drugstore brushes, but doesn't want to spend a fortune on high end brushes. The bristles on the big, fluffy (pink) brush are nice and plush, but incredibly soft and smooth, I think the big brush in this collection is actually a better size and shape for applying blush and bronzer than the actual RT blush brush is, but that may just be a matter of preference. The domed eyeshadow brush is excellent for blending shadow out, works very well as a crease brush as well. I personally don't find it ideal for packing shadow onto the lid, but once the shadow is there it's great for blending. The bristles are, of course, very plush and smooth. I like the foundation brush in this set more than the actual foundation brush that you can buy separately only because it's a little smaller, so I feel like it gets in the areas around my nose and under my eyes a little more easily. Again, the bristles are very smooth, and don't leave streaks. All in all, I'd say this is an excellent set for the price, and a great all around set to get you started toward a great face.

I have been watching the Pixiwoo sisters on Youtube for years and have wanted these brushes forever! They are very very soft and seem to be well made. The bristles don't fall out and they are very easy to clean, unlike natural haired brushes. The only thing is that they seem to work better on cream products rather than powdered products (because they are synthetic haired brushes), but it seems to work out for me because you can pick up less product and then build the color up while buffing it in at the same time. It makes for a longer lasting finish. I use these three brushes everyday and I intend to buy more in the future. Great bargain!

購入してすぐに届きました！ パッケージもしっかりしてて、触り心地もよかったです(*^_^*) 早く使いたいです！お値段以上だと思います。。

Mon premier kit Real Techniques. Très satisfaite de la qualité, le pinceau fond de teint ne laisse pas de traces, le pinceau yeux estompe à merveille et le pinceau blush est parfait aussi. Jolies couleurs et poils très doux et sèches très rapidement après lavage. Pochette pratique pour partir en voyage puisqu'on peut y glisser aussi d'autres pinceaux et peut servir de présentoir. N'hésitez pas à aller voir sur le Youtube de Real Techniques pour des démonstrations.

Dieses Set enthälte alle Pinsel, die man unterwegs gut gebrauchen kann - die Foundation Brush für flüssiges Makeup oder auch zum einarbeiten von Concealer. Die Domed Shadow Brush kann man sehr gut zum auftragen und verblenden von Lidschatten nehmen. Die Multitask Brush verwende ich für Rouge oder Puder für das ganze Gesicht. Ich habe noch zwei weitere Sets von Real Techniques und diese drei Pinsel ergänzen meine Sammlung perfekt. würden aber für unterwegs auch reichen. Ich habe die Pinsel mittlerweile auch schon oft gewaschen und sie bleiben super in Form und verlieren bei mir keine Haare. Da ich Neurodermitis und sehr empfindliche Haut habe, kann ich sagen, dass die Pinsel auch angenehm weich auch auf empfindlicher Haut sind. Der Kauf ist auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen und der Preis ist es auf jeden Fall wert, da ich keine vergleichbaren Pinsel günstiger gefunden habe. Habe diese Pinsel auch nirgens günstiger gefunden als hier bei Amazon (es sei denn man wäre in den USA).

What an amazing product! I got this mainly because it came with the travel bag/ brush holder and I couldn't find any brush bags which would fit my other Real Techniques brushes in. The brushes that come in the pack are brilliant essentials, particularly for beginners. The foundation brush is a great size and spreads your foundation flawlessly. The eyeshadow brush is great for the base shades of your eyeshadow and blending in. The multitask brush can be used for blusher, bronzer, blending, powder and even light contouring! All for an amazing price - one of these brushes sells for a minimum of about £12 in Boots! I also got mine on Amazon Prime so it came the day after I ordered it and I didn't have to wait for weeks! Could not recommend this product enough, Very pleased with everything about it.

I bought this package for the blush brush (that only comes with this kit). This brush is awesome ! Perfect for applying precise blush but also to blend it. The bristles are super soft and dense. I love it! It's an unique brush, it's shaped in a way that if you use it with a specific angle, it's precise and could be used for contouring, but if you turn it a bit, it becomes large and perfect to blend. I don't really use the other brushes because I don't put on foundation but I heard the foundation brush is great and the eye brush is pretty dense and great for precise blending.
