Real Techniques Sculpting Makeup Brush for Contouring (Packaging and Handle Colour May Vary)

I love this brush, I use it for foundation as it gives the best application and gets into all the nooks and crannies of your face (side of nose, round eyes etc) so I've already bought a couple as I like to have backups. Very impressed with this vendor too, arrived very, very quickly considering it came from Belgium, literally arrived earlier than some of my UK orders. Will defi order from these guys again. Edit: if you give these a deep clean, you know with a brush cleaning liquid, the hair fallout is unreal - at first I thought it was me going at it too roughly but the 3 further brushes that I bought and tried different cleaning methods also moulted and when I say moulted I mean by wash 3 or 4, chunks of hair were coming out, I dry them upside down on a brush hanger and never get the ferrule wet but whatever you do it will moult. Shame as I love the brush but I’m not replacing a makeup brush once every few weeks no matter how good. Not the sellers fault which is why I didn’t change the star rating and it was a genuine authentic product and identical to others I’ve bought, including their propensity to moult, shame as I love how it applies your your base.

Bought for £5.99 during Black Friday Deals this year. Extremely happy with the brush. I've been using it every day since I got it and don't intend on changing to another brush any time soon. The bristles are soft and leave no marks when I use the brush. The shape of the head is great: I use it exclusively for applying my bronzer to my forehead, cheek hallow area and chin. However, its too big to use on the nose, so you'll have to get a separate brush to contour that part of your face. I can vouch that what it says on the box is true - the brush does help create magnificent face contouring. I also really like how it says the name of the brush on the handle - that makes it easy for me to know what this brush is meant to be used for, especially considering how many different brushes I have in my make-up drawer. Admit it, we've all been there - looking at a brush and thinking: what was it's exact application...?! Well this name on handle thing takes that confusion away, so two thumbs up for that :) Also, it's got a flat back, so you can prop it up and it'll stay standing (if you've got the space/time/willingness to balance it after every use). I personally don't use this feature of the brush, I just chuck it in the drawer for next time, but thought I might mention it. As you'd expect the pink is a nice shimmery shade and the black is super easy to grip, so design wise Real Techniques has done very well. I recommend to others, even at full price, its definitely worth the buy. P.S. I've included several pictures for you to see how the brush came (it'd make a lovely present) and what it looks like when open (including a close up of the head's shape). Enjoy XD

Amazing quality for money as it’s genuine real techniques - bristles are really soft and fantastic for applying cream products, I use it on my Chanel bronzer and it’s fab. Really recommend!

Great brush, blends good

Having owned the Real Techniques Starter Kit for a couple of years - and regularly used 3 out of the 5 brushes in it which isn't bad for this sort of set - I knew these were great brushes. They're durable, versatile and easy to clean. I'd struggled trying to find a brush in my collection of other brushes that was suitable for contouring and had even tried - without success - to cut down a blusher brush to form an angled head. So I was delighted to find this RT Sculpting Brush on Amazon for a great price. Though the Starter Kit is good and economical, I actually prefer to buy brushes singly as it quickly becomes apparent with sets which ones are likely to be the most useful. The Sculpting Brush is very versatile - it will apply foundation as well as contour and will work for powders and liquids alike. Check out the 'How To' session by Sam and Nic on YouTube as it is helpful. Their main tips? - don't pick up too much product on the brush and blend really well, building up contour as you go. If you'd like to contour effectively without spending a fortune on an appropriate brush, try this. It has the added bonus of a flat base so you can stand it vertically and like all RT brushes, the lower part of the handle is rubberized making them easy to hold and preventing slippage. If you're looking to build a Real Techniques collection on a budget, this brush is an essential - a great place to start.

This brush is AMAZING! It's one of my favourites from the range. You can use it to contour or to apply foundation. It's very soft and the slant makes it easy to contour your cheekbones, especially if yours are none existent. Works great with both cream and powder.

Great quality contouring brush. I have always struggled to contour correctly; I'm always left with a very obvious line! However I tried with this brush and it was much more natural, although still defined. I would recommend all the brushes from this range, they're just as good as high end brands but a fraction of the price. They are also very pretty brushes, nice for a dressing table and cruelty free.

I’ve got the rest of the Real Techniques brush range and was after a sculpting brush. As expected great quality and makes sculpting cheeks / under jaw etc very quick and easy.
