I’m always ranting and raving about the latest foundations I’m using and why but recently realised I’ve given little or no love to the foundation brush department. Which is surprisingly as I’ve literally been using the same two or three brushes for months now.
Two brushes are from Real Techniques, the makeup brush line created by Samantha Chapman of Pixiwoo fame. They’re synthetic and designed for buffing and stippling respectively, and have taken the makeup/blogworld by storm. The brushes are incredibly soft and easy to use, no brush hair fallout or streaking here – and at 12GBP for the stippling brush and I would imagine something similar for the buffing brush if it was sold separately (it comes in the Core Collection kit), they’re surprisingly purse friendly. Although both can be used for a multitude of purposes, I particularly love them for foundation and other cream products.
The most recent foundation brush addition is from Dolce & Gabbana and is a miniature flat synthetic brush from their Mini Lace Brush Kit. I’ve come to love using this as it’s short-handled and easy to manoeuver again it doesn’t shed or streak and it feels just lovely against the skin. I reach for this one when I want a slightly heavier base with a flawless finish. So there we have it. What foundation brushes are you using at the moment and why do you love them?
+1 for the Real Techniques brushes, they’re life-changing!
They are, haha!
Same as for the RT Buffing Brush and also the Expert Face Brush! However, this week I rediscovered the Sigma F80 and it’s amazing with YSL Le Teint Touche Éclat!
Oooh… might have to bust that one out again, haven’t used it in ages.
Biteen obsessed with my Real Techniques brushes at the mo too
Same. Saw you bought another one recently… you’re bad!
I love the buffing brush:)!

It’s fab!
Loving the Blank Canvas Cosmetics F20. It’s similar to the Sigma F80 but less dense so it’s softer and faster to work with, really love it.
Where do you buy Black Canvas Laura?
Direct from their website -> blankcanvascosmetics.com
I use the Shiseido Perfect Foundation brush and it really is perfect! I have to try some Real Techniques soon! Have been hearing so many good things about the brand!
I use the stippling from RealTechniques. I absolutely love it! I was looking into picking up the buffing brush from them as well
Is there a way? and if so, how can i purchase real technique products from the UAE?
