I absolutely love Real Techniques. Their brushes are so high end in performance, but the cost is so affordable.

My beloved mama once told me years ago:
“Take good care of your brushes and they’ll take good care of you.”
She was right!🥰I have some that are 5-10 years old and still work great!

The rare beauty concealer brush is so awesome for concealer and really gets into the under eyes perfectly. I find myself using it daily.

Ulta had that brush for $17 last year. I was so excited to get a $48 brush for 17 bucks. It is hands-down my most used brush in my brush arsenal! Love you Mila!!

I love using the real tecniques deluxe crease brush for concealer too ✨ Works great, and I feel like it is a bit big for the crease anyways (at least for me) 😊

IT Cosmetics makes great brushes and Bare Minerals have a few that are excellent, too. If I ever hit the lottery, I'm buying a full set of Wayne Goss's brushes, though. They are to die for!

Excellent timing, just getting back into makeup and setting up my tools. You explained very well for even a beginner like me to understand. I'm an artist and know how important good brushes are.

I’ve had some nice Mac brushes they last for a longtime but real techniques makes some really soft and inexpensive brushes!

Thank you! I’ve wanted to learn about brushes for a while now. Love that you gave such a breadth of options, too!

I’ve found myself doing all my makeup with different size of dome brushes hahaha Don’t know why I love this shape so much 💖💕

I love your videos. I’m the oldest and my mom didn’t wear makeup. (I grew up in the late 90s, before you could how to be a makeup artist on YouTube.) So, had to teach myself, but I’m still not comfortable in my skills. Your videos are informative and your looks are more natural and practical. Sure these MUAs on YouTube are beautiful and crazy skilled. But, I’d feel crazy uncomfortable walking into a PTA meeting or a parent teacher conference with very dramatic eye looks. But your looks are stunning yet classy. Thanks for that’

I have real techn blush and setting brushes for 4 years (in old design with black bottom part) and they are still in great shape!

Thank you!!! I’ve been waiting for you to talk about make up brushes .. so excited to finally see it!!!

[TexasMom]

I have some of those brushes and they’re great!! real techniques, it cosmetics… however….I am absolutely obsessed over BK beauty brushes and the new Angie hot and flashy make up brush set absolutely unbelievable!!

[amytrumbull]

I have and love the heavenly luxe brush and it’s fantastic…. I use both ends and the concealer side is so perfect, whether I use liquid or cream concealer. I am using the Nars concealer in the little tub…it’s a cream and this brush puts it on perfect.

This was a great video! I have many of these in my regular rotation. I have to agree with the real techniques small setting brush being perfect for a natural under eye concealer application, I do the same on light makeup days.

[LauraLVTGW]

Wonderful video!! Very informative and detailed. Now I know how to use those "extra" brushes that come in a kit.😊. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and all your hard work. 💖💖
Would love a video on cleaning them!
