Real Techniques - Stippling Brush

I posted last week sometime asking for some advice on which foundation brush I should get and I had a few replies saying I should try one from the Real Techniques range, in particular the Stippling Brush. I had a quick look online to see if I would have to order it, or if there were any stores that sold them. It said that Boots was a stockist and since there's quite a large one in Belfast I decided to try it.

At £11.99, this was less than half the price of the MAC brush I had been considering buying. Considering the price, I wasn't expecting too much from it, but thought I would give it a try anyway.

I use this to apply my MAC Pro Longwear Concealer as I had heard it was good for applying concealer. I put one pump on to the back of my hand and tapped the brush into it. I then applied it to my face in a swirling motion. I was surprised straight away at how well it went on to my skin, because it was actually perfect. It gave me amazing coverage straight away and quite a natural look. I'm not really one for using brushes when it comes to applying foundation/concealer so I can't believe how well it worked, and I'm so pleased that I tried it because I fell in love straight away and won't be able to go back. The only downside that I can see is that when applying without a brush, I only needed one pump of product to get pretty good coverage. If I want to achieve the same coverage, I need two pumps, but one is still adequate, so this isn't really a problem!

I highly recommend everyone to try this if you're looking for a new brush, and I thank Jessica and Ellie for recommending this brand to me!
