Thank you to Real Techniques for sending me product in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.

I’m a huge makeup junkie. If you are too, you know that you can’t have great makeup without great brushes. Using makeup brushes is the key to flawless application. I never used to like using a makeup brush when I was younger until I realized how big of a difference it makes. My foundation is smooth and not patchy like it is if you use your fingers. My eyeshadow is perfectly blended and not a mess. There are a ton of tutorials online that teach you how to use certain brushes for certain things so you won’t be clueless. Basically if you don’t use makeup brushes, you should start! It’s changed the way I apply makeup forever.

Real Techniques has some of the greatest makeup brushes I’ve ever owned. Whether you are buying for yourself, your daughter, friend, loved one, or anyone else – you will not be disappointed in the quality. This holiday season, Real Techniques has released 3 limited edition holiday makeup brush sets. Each set has its own personality, so you can match it according to the makeup lover in your life.

Spotlight Essential Set

The Spotlight Essential Set is for the glam goddess in your life. Not only are these brushes incredibly soft, but they are made out of weighted brass ferrule which gives a heavy, but luxurious feel. Each brush is capable to work with cream, powder, and liquid makeup.  This set also includes an exclusive brush roll to store your brushes in – it doubles as a clutch!

• 300 Tapered Brush – Highlights and sculpts across cheeks
• 203 Tapered Shadow – Blends shadow into crease and eyelid
• 102 Triangle Concealer – Flat edge highlights tops of cheekbones, and angled edges contour around eyes, nose, and chin.

Multitask Set

The Multitask Set does exactly what it says. These brushes can be used for everything and anything – simplifying your makeup routine and creating a full face of makeup with only these 3 brushes. These are also able to be used with cream, powder, and liquid makeup. This set includes an exclusively designed panoramic case. It can be used as a carrier for your brushes or as a stand to keep your brushes organized! I love the bright, fun colors this set has.

• Exclusive Multitask Face Brush – Angled cut can be used to set powder, apply bronzer, and contour face
• Exclusive Multitask Cheek Brush – Extreme tapered cut can be used to apply color to cheeks, highlight cheekbone, and contour
• Exclusive Multitask Eye Brush – Soft tapered cut can be used to apply color to crease, highlight brow bone, and smudge lash line

Your Picks: Berlin

Your Picks: Berlin consists of 5 fan favorite, graphically designed brushes. The handles of these brushes are actually inspired by the street art scene in Berlin, Germany. This really resonates with me because my family is from, and mostly lives in Germany! I’ve never seen makeup brushes this cool.

From left to right ~

• Stippling Brush – 2 bristle types and lengths distribute product for a feathery finish
• Buffing Brush – Ideal for full coverage application of powder and mineral foundation
• Contour Brush – Applies highlighter to contour or create sheer, soft-focus finish
• Deluxe Crease Brush – soft, oversized design for effortless contouring
• Base Shadow Brush – Applies smooth, flawless color

Overall, every single one of these brushes are soft and made with great quality. I think each set has its own feel and personality. The Spotlight Essential Set is more for glam girls who want a feel of luxury. The Multitask Set is for simple women who just want an easy way of doing makeup. Your Picks: Berlin is for those rebellious, artsy women out there. Real Techniques does not disappoint for the holidays!
