Real Techniques Your Eyes / Enhanced Starter Set (£21.99, link)
I've wanted this brush set since receiving the Real Techniques Core Collection as a birthday gift back in June. I popped into Boots yesterday to pick up some bits and I noticed that I had enough points on my clubcard to get this, so into my shopping basket it went!
The Your Eyes/Enhanced Starter Set consists of the following (from L-R above):-
Deluxe Crease Brush
I'm sure you've all heard of this one before! Like the Buffing Brush from the Core Collection, the Deluxe Crease Brush is the star of the show in this set. It's mini kabuki style head is perfect for blending in creamy concealer under the eyes and over blemishes. And of course it's also great for blending in darker eyeshadow colours into the crease.
Base Shadow Brush
The ideal size for sweeping a base colour over the lids, this brush is also good to use for setting powder on top of concealer too.
Accent Brush
This brush is great for adding a lighter colour to your inner eye corner, and is also ideal for taking eyeshadow underneath the waterline.
Pixel-Point Eyeliner Brush
I've never used an eyeliner brush this shape before (I always use the fine pointed tip ones) and I was worried that this would be far too thick. However, if you carefully flatten it down when applying your cream/gel eyeliner, you can get an even line no problem. I still prefer the fine pointy ones, but that might just be because I'm still new to this one.
Brow Brush
Your standard angled brow brush shape, this works really well for filling in brows with brow/eyeshadow.
Like the Core Collection, the Starter Set comes with a handy dual stand/carrier case and all of the brushes are made from ultra plush, synthetic taklon bristles. A great set of brushes if you're just starting your collection, or simply wanting to add to it!
P.S: The winner of the Betrousse Must Haves box is Jess! Congrats!
These brushes look lovely :-) Although I still havent got round to buying the core collection yet x

I love Real Techniques brushes, such great quality :) x
DeleteCongrats to the winner of the Betrousse Must Haves. I also use my brow brush to line my upper lash line and I find it works really well! :) I love the way these brushes look, the purple handles and black/white hair is very pretty!

I'll be sure to give that a go! I love the purple handles too :) xx
DeleteI've got the core collection brushes and love them, I want to pick up the other brush sets, I really like the sound of the deluxe crease brush and the brow brush :)
ReplyDeleteGrace x
They are fab! :) x
DeleteI am thinking of getting this set myself!
ReplyDeleteI only have the powder brush from the real techniques and i wanna try some of their eyes brushes as well-apart from the buffing brush of course now that u mentioned it! =)
The Buffing Brush is AMAZING. It's the only brush I use for applying foundation now :)
Deletejust adore real techinique brushes. bought the expert face brush the other day :)
ReplyDeleteI'd really like to get that one to see how it compares with the Buffing Brush :)
DeleteI love these brushes! Except for the liner brush-it's a weird size. I find sometimes their brushes are a weird size, but that'ok because you can use it for something else. That eyeliner on I use for concealing small spots instead!
ReplyDeleteIt is a weird size isn't it? I'm still getting used to it, but I think using it to conceal small spots might be a better idea!
DeleteI want these brushes so badly x
ReplyDeleteThey are fab :) x
DeleteHurrah for Boots points eh! :)
ReplyDeleteI hope to get this set some time this week. So excited to get my hands on the Delux Crease Brush.

DeleteThe Deluxe Crease Brush is amazing for using with creamy concealers, makes it so easy to blend! xx
I have this set and I absolutely love them! Im so glad I bought them :)

DeleteI bought this and the core collection a few weeks ago and LOVE them! I might treat myself to every brush in the range once I get a bit of extra money :-) xxx
ReplyDeleteI want them all too! :) xxx
DeleteI can't wait to treat myself to these brushes! I'm going to pick up the face ones first I think x
ReplyDeleteDefinitely get the face ones first, I think they really show how great Real Techniques brushes are. Then of course you'll want them all! x
DeleteI have this set and to honest its what i have looking for the brush hair is fine and soft , and blending the eyeshadow perfectly.
ReplyDeleteI am in love with <3 Deluxe Crease Brush
