Review of Real Techniques ‘Expert Face’ brush

Before purchasing the ‘Expert Face’ brush, I had heard so many great reviews about it! I have used sponges and regular foundation brushes to blend my M.A.C. foundation, and I thought I was happy using those, that was until I bought this AMAZING make-up brush. 

Firstly, this brush was designed by Samantha Chapman, a professional make-up artist and beauty blogger. There are many tutorials on how to use this brush online which I find helpful. 

The brush itself is not pricey at all. I purchased mine at Ulta for around $9. The brush has an orange handle, and the shape of the handle makes the brush fit perfectly in your hand. The brush hairs are soft, but dense, which means you are able to really buff the foundation into your skin for a flawless finish. I found flat foundation brushes difficult to use around my nose, but this brush blends extremely well all over my face. This brush also washes very easily (I just use baby shampoo!). I also use this brush to blend my bronzer under my cheekbones!

I would definitely recommend this brush to anyone who is looking for a foundation brush that blends amazingly and isn’t expensive at all. Definitely a 10/10 product for me!

 

 

Review of Benefit’s ‘High Beam’ highlighter

This is the lighter of the two liquid highlighters by Benefit. I have fair skin so I use, ‘high beam’ instead of ‘sun beam’, which is the highlighter meant for darker skin tones. This highlighter gives a very natural looking glow to the skin. I apply this product to the top of my cheek bones, and it looks so natural, yet you do notice it as it catches the light! The packaging of this product is just like nail varnish, and is very easy to apply. Just dot onto skin and blend, and you have a perfect, natural glow! I am a big fan of liquid highlighters as opposed to powder ones as they look a lot more natural! You can get this product at most Benefit counters! x
