Soft, versatile, and professional
This brush is fantastic. Its soft texture allows for smooth and effortless application, perfect for foundation, concealer, or cream products. I love how versatile it is, as I can use it for different products and achieve a professional finish every time. It’s also easy to clean and keeps its shape after multiple uses. An excellent addition to any makeup kit.

Trendy and useful!
Overall, all the real techniques products are really good quality. I specifically like the size of the brushes and I feel like these shapes are not only trendy but also really helpful to work with cream, liquid and also powder products.

Great for powder foundation, loose powder- super soft but compact bristles.
I needed an inexpensive but sturdy brush for applying powder foundation and sheer powder. I liked the particular size and structure of this brush. Also, I had worked with Real Techniques brushes in the past, and found them to be reliable and long-lasting. I needed a brush with a flat bottom that I could stand up in a container on my desk, and this one has a flat bottom. This brush is very stable when placed onto a flat surface.All new makeup brushes usually shed a bit when they are new, but this one did not. The bristles are nice and compact, so the the brush holds a good deal of product. There are a ton of bristles, and they are very soft. The bristles are nicely trimmed. The bristles have been shaped into a kind of a gentle dome. This brush feels very luxe for its price point, and I can tell it is going to last a long time. The bristles are artificial, but again they are super soft. In my years of working with cosmetics, I’ve used some fairly high-end natural bristle makeup brushes. This Bubble Blending Brush is performing just as well as some of the three-figure natural bristle powder brushes I used back in the 90s. The density of the bristles does mean this brush is going to grab and hold on to a lot of product, so be sure to tap the brush, especially after dipping it into loose powder, unless you want to deposit a lot of powder onto an area of your face.The only complaint I have about this brush is that it doesn’t come with any kind of hard cover that snaps over it to protect it. I looked for a brush with one of those, but the ones I found looked pretty lacking in quality. I’d rather have a brush that performs beautifully, like this one, and forget about it not having some kind of protective cover.The brush’s construction seems sturdy. I’m going to be careful not to let water get down into the ferrule- the metal collar that holds the bristles in the brush handle- because with any makeup brushes, but especially these kind, excess water down in the ferrule will cause the glue holding the brush head to break down over time. (This isn’t specific to this brand of makeup brush- this will happen with any brush.) When this happens, the glue slowly begins to dissolve away, and the entire brush head of bristles can eventually fall out in one clump. I’ve had this happen, and glued the clump of bristles back in successfully in a pinch- but it’s just better to not have this happen. It’s not easy when cleaning makeup brushes to not get at least some water into the ferrules, but the less water that gets in there, the better, to make sure you don’t lose your brush head after letting water reach the glue. This is why, after washing your makeup brushes, you should always lay them down flat to dry, preferably with the bristle end hanging over the edge of a sink or desk or table, so the maximum amount of air can get into the ferrule and get rid of the maximum amount of moisture.I also learned this trick from one of my painting professors at art college. Pack your brushes’ wet bristles with inexpensive hair conditioner after washing them at least once a month, and leave them sitting for a couple of hours. Then rinse them thoroughly. Even artificial bristle brushes benefit from this little boost of moisture being put into their bristles. It helps to extend the life of your brushes. I thought it was silly when he told me about it, but I tried it, and it does make a difference.The other nice thing about these Real Techniques brushes is that if something happens to it, these brushes don’t cost an arm and a leg, and are easy to find if I need to replace this brush. So while this brush might not be a high-end Japanese whatever brand handmade makeup brush, it performs beautifully, and I am very glad I chose to buy it. If I need to replace it, I know I can head over to Amazon and re-order this brush.It’s easy to use, and makes application a breeze. I just whisk it across a pan of powder foundation, buff it around my face, and I’m ready to go. Or, if I want to use it with translucent loose powder, it works great for that as well. I have other brushes for contouring, but it would work for that purpose, and would be great for blush application as well. This brush is a sort of “Goldilocks” size- not too small or too big, and that makes it versatile. Looking down onto the top of the brush, across the bristles, it measures about 1 1/2 inches, and the bristles measure about 1 inch high above the ferrule. The brush head is about 1 3/4 of an inch wide. This sounds like it might be on the large size, but its compact build makes it easy to control, whereas smaller makeup brushes, if their bristles are not as dense, the bristles will “spray” powder everywhere, and make application more random and streaky.If there are any performance or condition issues that come up with the brush, I will update this review. But after using it for some time, I am very happy with this brush, and recommend it, and would definitely purchase it again. For its price, it’s a fantastic brush.

Worth it
This is a good brush. It’s dense but not too dense. I’ve used it with my foundation and powder. Works just as good as the expensive ones.

Las piezas se sienten de buena calidad, resistentes, las cerdas no estoy tan segura, se sienten bien pero no tan suaves, buena relación precio-calidad.

Ho visto questo prodotto utilizzato da un’influencer. L’ho acquistato perché interessata a un pennello fondotinta che prometteva di essere veloce e pratico. Che dire? Non ha deluso le mie aspettative. In 2/3 min riuscirete a stendere in modo uniforme e pratico il vostro fondotinta preferito 😉 Real Techniques è sempre sinonimo di qualità.
