After much contemplating, I finally decided to give some of the Real Techniques brushes a go. There’s been a lot of talk about these brushes since they were launched, some good reviews and some not so good reviews. Initially, what attracted me was the price and as Samantha Chapman is a makeup artist, I expected them to be very good.

I bought the Core Collection and the Shading Brush, both of which are reviewed in detail below.

Let me know what you think!
