I have watched Sam and Nic Chapman on YouTube
(their channel is Pixiwoo) and love their content! While I was a bit slow on
catching onto them (they have been around for years), I am a fan. They have a
makeup tutorial for nearly every look possible and are so down to earth and
relatable in their videos. When I
discovered they were the faces and brains of Real Techniques brushes, I knew I
had to try them.
Real Techniques brushes are stocked at
Priceline in Australia, however I do encourage you to shop around online as you
can get some excellent prices if you are willing to wait for shipping. I
purchased my Real Techniques brushes from a UK online stockist, Look Fantastic.
Yes, it is based on the other side of the globe but they offer Free Worldwide
shipping which usually occurs within 10 days of placing the order.
At the time I was shopping around for two
brushes from the Bold Metals range. These were discounted by 20% at both
Priceline and Look Fantastic (I took this as confirmation from the world that I
needed to buy them now!). However the latter still saved me almost $15.
Here is a breakdown of the prices (listed in AUD):
The Flat Contour Brush is very dense and
fits perfectly into the hollows of my cheekbones. I love using it with cream
contour products and I could also imagine this being a good brush for buffing
foundation. It is a little too big for contouring around the nose but that is
my only negative point regarding this brush.
The Bold Metals range also contains eye
shadow brushes (silver handles) and foundation brushes. However I narrowed my
choice down to a much-needed powder brush and a
not-essential-but-I-bought-it-anyway contour brush.
So if you are in the market for new makeup
brushes and would like something slightly fancier than the regular Real Techniques
brushes but don’t want to be paying the price tag of Nars or Charlotte Tilbury
brushes, I would recommend the Bold Metals Range.
