- Q
Would this brush work for applying self-tanner to my hands and feet for even application?
- Asked by MH
- Official Answer By Real Techniques - Brand EngageThe Real Techniques Ultra Plush Powder Face & Cheek Makeup Brush is designed for applying powders, bronzers, and setting powders. Its large, domed shape and plush bristles help create a smooth, even finish. While it's primarily intended for makeup. You might want to consider using a brush specifically designed for self-tanner instead to ensure the best results. These brushes often have denser bristles and are shaped to help blend the product seamlessly into the skin.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Okay so I am a brand new to the makeup community and I was wondering is it okay if I use the same brush for bronzer and powder? I noticed they are both so similar. Fluffy, Huge and Soft.
- Asked by Betty
- Official Answer By Real Techniques - Brand EngageHi! We are so glad you're here! This powder brush is brush is much larger than our Blush or Bronzer brushes. We would recommend using separate brushes for setting powder and bronzer. Unless you are cleaning your brushes between each use, switching back and forth could result in leftover bronzer spreading on your skin where you don't want it when you switch back to using a setting powder. Have you looked into our kits? If you are a beginner, try our Everyday Essentials Kit (Item 2534700). The kit includes a foundation brush, our Miracle Complexion sponge, a small setting brush, an eye crease brush, and our blush brush (which is big and fluffy and could also be used for setting powder!) This would have everything you need to get started! Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Would this brush work for applying the Physician's Formula Murumuru Butter Bronzer? Or is there a different brush you recommend for that?
- Asked by Makeup Novice
- Official Answer By Real Techniques - Brand EngageHi! This brush would be perfect for applying pressed bronzer! You could also try the Real Techniques Blush Brush which could double as a bronzer brush (Ulta item # 2230002)Was this answer helpful to you
- Q

- Asked by JENNIFER

- Q
I want to set my face with the laura mercier setting powder, specifically my under eyes. Would this brush be good for that or would the real techniques setting brush be better?
- Asked by Makeup lover
- Official Answer By Real Techniques - Brand EngageHi there - great question! I would definitely recommend the Setting Brush for this because it has a smaller head, which is better for the delicate and small surface area you're working with around your eyes. Thanks!Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Would this work well to apply bare minerals powder foundation?
- Asked by Geninemarie
- Official Answer By Real Techniques - Brand EngageHi there - this would be an awesome brush for loose powder like Bare Minerals. The fluffiness of the bristles makes application just about perfect. Thanks!Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Is this brush good for applying bronzer?
- Asked by Joanna
- Official Answer By Real Techniques - Brand EngageHi there - this brush is fantastic for bronzer because the bristles are fluffy and more dispersed, which helps apply and blend really well. I think you'll be really happy with it!Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Which brush is best for bronzer?
- Asked by Joelle
- Verified Reply - Brand ExpertHi Joelle, This is a really good brush for bronzer. I think brushes that have larger, fluffier heads are best for bronzer because you want a lighter application (not targeted where people can definitely see lines, etc). There is one other brush I would recommend for bronzer. This one is a new one from our new Brush Crush line. It's a Kabuki brush, which has a huge head and really fluffy bristles and is meant for bronzers and highlighters. That's found here: https://www.ulta.com/brush-crush-306-kabuki-brush?productId=xlsImpprod17481001&sku=2521985&_requestid=448158Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Will this brush work for finishing powder to be applied all over the face? I didn't know if this brush was more for foundation rather than finishing powder.
- Asked by Sammy
- Verified Reply - Brand ExpertHi Sammy, This brush is *perfect* for finishing powder - I think you would be really happy with it. Because of the "fluffiness" of the bristle head, this works really well with loose and pressed powders, and actually isn't the best kind of brush for Foundation. For foundation, I would definitely recommend our Expert Face Brush (it's amazing): http://www.ulta.com/expert-face-brush?productId=xlsImpprod4260015 Hope that helps!Was this answer helpful to you

- Q
is this brush good for applying a face mask?
- Asked by Em
- Verified Reply - Brand ExpertHi Em, Thanks for your question. I actually wouldn't recommend this brush for a face mask. I think the bristles are too soft and not densely packed enough for that kind of application. There is a brush that I would recommend from our sister brand, EcoTools. It's our Flat Foundation brush: http://www.ulta.com/bamboo-foundation-brush?productId=xlsImpprod481496. I *love* this brush. I use it every day to apply my foundation, but as soon as you mentioned face mask, I thought this one would be perfect. It's flat, it's bristles are densely packed and they are very smooth which would make applying a face mask much easier. Hope that helps!Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Can use this specific brush for Pressed powder?!??
- Asked by helenita05
- Verified Reply - Brand ExpertHi Helenita05, This brush is great for pressed powder, if you want light, even coverage. If you're looking for a bit more coverage with your powder, I would recommend our Retractable Kabuki brush (http://www.ulta.com/retractable-kabuki-brush?productId=xlsImpprod6330143). The bristles on this brush are a bit more dense and angled, which gives you more coverage overall. Hope that helps!Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
I have this brush and love it for multiple reasons. Is there actually an exact same brush as this but with a shorter handle to allow for travel, purse use every day, etc.? Looking for something as big and fluffy as this powder brush, but just in a shorter version.
- Asked by rebecca
- Verified Reply - Brand ExpertHi Rebecca, What a great question! Right now, we have our Mini Trio that you can find here (http://www.ulta.com/mini-trio-brush-set?productId=xlsImpprod10521067). That has a travel sized brush with a larger head (but it's a bit smaller than the Powder Brush). We will take this feedback to the company, though, and see if there isn't something we can do here! Because there's nothing better than having your favorite brush at home AND on the go! Thanks!Was this answer helpful to you

Real Techniques has clearly cut quality costs
I've had my trusty set of Real Techniques brushes for about four years and recently went to finally replace them. I bought this brush first as my old powder brush is (just now) beginning to become a bit rough and scratchy. HOWEVER, I received this and tried it out only to find that it's significantl...

I like it
I do really like this brush along with the other real techniques brushes i own. However, it's a bit bigger than i would like it to be.
Wonderful
Absolutely amazing brush great quality would highly recommend much better than eco tools for a few extra dollars
It's big and fluffy
I've been waiting to hit a big, fluffy brush to use as my bronzer brush. This is slightly bigger than I'd like but it diffuses my bronzer good.
Best blush
I use other brand named blushes but this is my most favorite!
Nice brush
It is a good quality brush and works very well putting on my powder foundation.
