Real techniques stippling brush - A review

Hello lovely readers :)

The description of the brush is "My dual-fibre stippling brush is the trade secret for creating airbrushed, high definition results with all types of makeup. Giving you the look of pixel perfect even in harsh light with ultra plush taklon bristles."

Personally, when I heard that Samantha Chapman had created makeup brushes I was over the moon! I love the Pixiwoo channel, their tutorials are some of the best out there so I have wanted to try one of her brushes since they launched.

I've been on kind of a spending ban for the last 6-8weeks so I had no idea until three days ago that my local Boots sold them! I actually gasped out loud! xD

I decided to just pick up the stippling brush first, I've heard no bad reviews about and maybe get some of the kits at a later date.

My opinion? I LOVE this brush! My 187 does the job but I find that it can leave streaks on my face due to the long bristles. My 130 just simply takes too long for full face foundation. This is the perfect middle-ground brush. It's quite firm and makes applying foundation a doddle! A definite must have.

Another great thing? It only cost me £11.99! Even my boyfriend gasped at that! ;)

What do you think of the real techniques brushes?

Thank you for reading :)
