I have heard so many good things about the Real Techniques brushes that I had to pick one up on my shopping trip yesterday. I couldn't resist!! It's not my fault. Plus I really did need a new brush. :) The range in Boots in Manchester was really comprehensive, so I was definitely spoilt for choice, but in the end I decided to go for the stippling brush, which was £11.99. I think this is a pretty standard price for a good make up brush, and I generally don't mind parting with that amount of money if they are good at what they are supposed to do and last a long time. On the Real Techniques website this brush has been branded as the 'multi-purpose trade secret', and is suited to all make up mediums. The Real Techniques brushes are designed by Sam Chipman, make-up artist and blogger, and I have to say I'm really happy with mine. Although I can't tell if these brushes are going to last for a long time yet, they completely fulfil the description 'multi-purpose' as I have used them for most of my face make up, and particularly like it for applying a cream blusher.


Overall, I really have to agree with everyone else who is raving about these brushes! I love it and can't see it being easily replaced by any other brush any time soon. I would definitely recommend this for anyone looking for a good, multi-purpose brush
