Real Techniques Brushes...

[pinkstinks]

After seeing the deal at Boots I had to get them such a good price! Has anybody used this set or got any recommendations for how to get the most out of them? They are extremely soft so I'm excited to try them out. I tried the real techniques egg thing but if I'm honest it didn't do much for me!

I bought some for my DD (she's 13yo) at her request for her birthday.
She wears more make-up than me but very very subtle.
She's a bit 'brand influenced' so IMO there was no point buying her BodyShop or M&S Autograph or Barbara Daly (which is the brushes I have) she'd always hanker after the RT.

She loves them (I got them on a Buy One Get One Half Price offer)

I have the silicone eyeliner 'brush' . Bloody useless

My dd1 (20) likes them - and the egg thing!

I have a set of the eye brushes and they are nice and soft and great for a smooth, consistent application, but I had to reverse them based on size - my eyelids are pretty small, so I ended up using the two biggest back to front, which has worked much better for me. There are some videos available on their website actually with tips on using all their brush sets - and make-up reviewers on youtube have done some too, so it's definitely worth a look if you're a bit cautious about just experimenting.

70 - I would tell a 13 year old she can be 'brand-influenced' when she earns her own money.

I have RT and Clinique brushes, but I have some brushes I bought in TKMaxx that are just as good.

RT face brushes are really good, especially the buffing brush, much better than their eye kit, imo.
