Comments about Real Techniques Expert Face Brush:
I'm traveling and forgot to bring my foundation brushes! So, I went into Ulta and gave this a try!
I've tried this brands beauty sponges and loved them. But, the brush....I'm kind of iffy about.
But, given that it's all I've got right now, it's doing the trick.

Comments about Real Techniques Expert Face Brush:
I bought new Lancôme foundation and this was similar to the brush the girl used. I have several ' it ' brushes and none are this type. I didn't want to invest a fortune into a brush in case the foundation didn't work out. I actually like the way this works better than the 'it' brushes.

Comments about Real Techniques Expert Face Brush:
I love this brush! After suffering through another brush that left streaks that I always had to buff out with a blender, I was looking for something else. This one was budget friendly and so I figured I'd give it a go. It works wonderfully with Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue Gel Cream foundation. Smooth, non-blotchy, non-streaky finish and doesn't suck up a ton of foundation. It's a keeper!
Comments about Real Techniques Expert Face Brush:
This was my first real techniques brush and after using their version of the beauty blender sponge, I really wasn't expecting much and had already planned to return it. It may not be the softest brush I own but I find it works really well for liquid foundation application. I do not get any streaking as some others have claimed and it doesn't soak up my product. I find one pump of my foundation on the brush covers half of my face, which is about usual in application. I have not had any shedding issues but have only washed it once. So far so good.

Comments about Real Techniques Expert Face Brush:
I use this to apply liquid foundation. It's dense, so it doesn't soak up the liquid like a fluffier brush does. Applies makeup evenly and soft on my face. I love it! Personally, I would want something rounder for powder. Hope this helps!

Comments about Real Techniques Expert Face Brush:
I actually was nervous to use a different foundation brush after using the same one for yrs. BUT the first x I used this brush and also more of REAL TECHNIQUES brushes I was so SHOCKED HAPPY AND AMAZED!!! So after that I bought more RT items and I like to tell u for women &men that don't like to use wash clothes to wash ur face with..U HAVE TO TRY THE BEST THING EVER..ITS A RT SPONGE FOR WASHING UR FACE..looks just like ur blending sponge but has holes all thru it ..u have to look it up and TRY IT ..ITS THE BEST THING ON EARTH!!..let me no wat u think of the brush and the sponge!!!!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Q:
I have already brought this brush, but can this brush be used for buffing and blending?Asked on 1/24/2018 by NiaD from IL1 answer
A:
Hi NiaD,
Great question, and the quick answer is absolutely! This brush is so versatile and it is just perfect for buffing and blending.
Thanks!Answered on 2/5/2018 by Brand Expert from Real Techniques
Q:
I'm looking to try Bare Minerals for myself and my daughter. While I'm looking for a fuller coverage I would like her to have a lighter coverage. This will be her 1st time wearing makeup so I want to start her out slow. Will this brush work well for both of us or should I get her something like the RT Powder Brush?Asked on 1/16/2018 by Lin from Texas1 answer
A:
Hi Lin,
That is super exciting for both of you guys! :) And how awesome you're doing that together. It can be pretty confusing to know which brush goes with what product, even if you're an expert on makeup!
One of the reasons I love our Expert Face Brush so much (and why it's our #1 selling brush) is because you can use it for both light and fuller coverage, so I think it would be perfect for you both.
If you want to really make her day, you could buy her a brush (or a few) from our beautiful new collection, Brush Crush, found here: https://www.ulta.com/ulta/a/_/Ntt-brush%20crush/Nty-1?Dy=1&ciSelector=searchResults. The Powder Brush and Complexion Brush in this collection would work great for her!
Thanks! And good luck!Answered on 2/5/2018 by Brand Expert from Real Techniques
Q:
Is your brand cruelty free?Asked on 11/27/2017 by Jordan Hedley from undisclosed1 answer
A:
Hi Jordan,
Yes, our brand is cruelty free. We do not use any animal hair/natural hair for our brush bristles. They are a high quality synthetic called taklon and we believe they actually work even better than animal hair, so bonus! :)
Thanks.Answered on 11/29/2017 by Brand Expert from Real Techniques
Q:
Do you think this brush would work well with the BareMinerals powder foundation? If not, what other brushes would you recommend?Asked on 8/27/2017 by Tasnim from undisclosed1 answer
A:
Hi Tasnim,
I think the Expert Face Brush would be great with BareMinerals powder. A bit part of the application of the powder is the buffing and blending, which this brush is *perfect* for.
Hope that helps!Answered on 9/6/2017 by Brand Expert from Real Techniques
Q:
Can I use this brush instead of the RT Powder Brush with my Mac Studio Fix Powder Foundation for fuller coverage?Asked on 8/14/2017 by Maddi from USA1 answer
A:
HI Maddi,
That literally is the exact combo I use and I love it. The Powder Brush is good if you want very light coverage, but if you're like me and want fuller, the Expert Face Brush is awesome for that.
Thanks!Answered on 9/6/2017 by Brand Expert from Real Techniques
Q:
Would this or the sculpting brush be better for liquid foundation. Also what would be the best blush brush in your collection.Asked on 7/9/2017 by Jen from Foxborough MA1 answer
A:
Hi Jen,
I love the Expert Face Brush for liquid foundation. Overall, I've found the rounded (non-angled) brush head is better for all over application. You are definitely spot on for that one! :)
For the blush brush, I actually have two favorites, depending on the look. If you want overall rosy cheeks, color that looks like a natural hue, the Real Techniques Blush Brush is amazing (http://www.ulta.com/blush-brush?productId=xlsImpprod3220067). The tapered head gives you control, but not too contoured.
However, if you want very precise application, like color over a contour, the Sculpting Brush you mentioned (http://www.ulta.com/sculpting-brush?productId=xlsImpprod11861065) is awesome.
Hope that helps!Answered on 7/20/2017 by Brand Expert from Real Techniques
Q:
Can this brush be used for powder?Asked on 6/28/2017 by Anu from undisclosed1 answer
A:
Hi Anu
I love this brush so much. I do - it's one that I can't really live without. But to apply powder, I think you would need a different bristle cut and density, and I don't think this brush would necessarily be able to apply loose powder the way others should, despite how great it is.
I would recommend a brush with a fluffier head to use with the products you're talking about. Here are a couple of really good ones:

Q:
Can this brush be used with a tinted moisturizer??Or will I need to use the Stippling Brush??Asked on 6/3/2017 by BATWOMAN from US1 answer
A:
HI Batwoman,
Great question! The Expert Face Brush is one of the most amazing brushes we make and can be used for just about anything! You could use it for tinted moisturizer, but I think that perhaps the bristles may be a bit too dense, and it might end up trapping the product in the bristles more than you would like. The Stippling Brush is a great alternative, based on how much more dispersed the bristles are.
You could also use our Foundation Brush - this is one that allows you to almost "paint" product onto your face, rather than buff in, and I think the cut and bristle type would work well with moisturizer. That item can be found here: http://www.ulta.com/foundation-brush?productId=xlsImpprod3220071
Thanks!Answered on 6/6/2017 by Brand Expert from Real Techniques
Q:
Hi I've been trying to find a brush that will help minimize the appearance of pores and wanted to invite if this brush or the stippling brush would be a better choice.Asked on 4/27/2017 by Newbie from Manteca, CA1 answer
A:
Hi NEwbie,
This is one of our most awesome and amazing brushes that we have in this line - it's actually our #1 selling Real Techniques brush!
The bristles themselves are dense and short, which gives you very targeted coverage (more medium to full).
If you're looking for light to medium coverage, the other brush I might recommend comes in our Flawless Base Set (it's the larger Buffing Brush). I actually use that brush every single day - I like it because its bristles are a bit longer and not as dense, which gives me the really natural look I like. You can find that kit here:

Thanks!Answered on 6/6/2017 by Brand Expert from Real Techniques
Q:
When using with liquid foundation will this give you a more light to medium coverage? Or a medium to full coverage? Like are the bristles really stiff or fluffy at the top?Asked on 3/23/2017 by Sopho from US1 answer
