Not long ago, I picked up 2 of the Samantha Chapman Real Techniques brushes from iherb.com because I needed more brushes, having read about quite some good reviews on them, and really really affordable price tag, there was no reason not to try out.

Real Techniques Powder Brush 1

The first brush that I picked was this powder brush, it’s huge and fluffy.

The brush handle is made of aluminum and it’s quite light weight.

Real Techniques Powder Brush 2

Being an affordable brush, thankfully the quality is not compromised.

The brush is soft and dense, and it picks up loose powder or metorites really well. The huge size gives an advantage of an even buff without harsh edges. I dislike using puff for loose powder as it tends to create patchy spots.

It dries overnight under fan after wash, which makes it even more convenient. I didn’t experience any shedding at all which was really awesome.

Other than powder, it actually work with liquid foundation too.

Being at only USD$9.99, I really could not find any fault with it.
