I did a fair bit of research when looking for a new set of make up brushes. I decided to try the real techniques line because of the online reviews and the price - why not at that affordable price. I am so glad I did. These brushes are way better than most of my high end brushes from Sephora or MAC. And they are seriously a fraction of the price.

I haven't seen a bristle fall out, which is amazing. They wash so well and have the right amount of softness and stiffness.

Check out amazon to get the best price. If in Canada - I actually found amazon.com better than .ca for these brushes.

compared to the price tag of sephora brushes, sigma brushes, and basically ever high-end brush there is.... real techniques brushes are the absolute best! in my opinion, they are just as good as high-end (maybe even better) and doesnt break the bank! they are fluffy, fall out proof, and super soft. besides my beauty blender, real technique brushes take up 98% of my makeup brushes lol. definitely worth a try if your in the market for makeup brushes :)

Every brush is amazing, really does the job, I end up having two brushes like this simply because that this duo fiber face brush is also in the Real Techniques Nics Picks Set too.. I have to say this is my favorite brush for 2014! I love the fact that this brush picks up enough product that its not so over powering, you can really control the amount of powder you put on your face. Its also very versatile. I use this brush for powder, blush and even a little contouring ever once in a while.
