Makeup brushes.

Ever since I became interested in makeup I have obsessed over brushes, but I never took the risk to buy the expensive branded ones (if it's more than £10 it's expensive to me). But then one day I accidentally came across Real Techniques, now, to me, at the time, those were expensive brushes, taking into consideration I was only about 16 and was just starting to earn my own money, so I didn't want to spend it all on about 9 brushes when I could get 24 for the same price on eBay. My god I did not know what I was missing, eventually I invested in two packs of Real techniques brushes, The starter kit, which is used on the eyes, and the core collection which is used on your face. They are the softest, easiest to use and not forgetting attractive brushes I know of. I have used these brushes since purchasing them, and have never been tempted to change. Although, the brushes have titles written on them as to what they are intended to be used for, I have found some are good for more than just that, for example the 'Deluxe crease brush' I use this on my eyes, and I also use it under my eye with concealer. This is the amazing thing about real techniques.

They're affordable
They're durable
They're versatile 

It's true what they say, if you have good enough brushes you don't have to be a makeup artist to create gorgeous and flawless looks.

In the two packs I bought there were 9 brushes in total.

In the starter kit (Purple handles)
-Base shadow brush
-Deluxe crease brush
-Accent brush
-Eyeliner brush
-Brow brush

In the core collection (Gold handles)
-Detailer brush
-Pointed foundation brush
-Buffing brush
-Contour brush

Each set also came with a panoramic case to put the brushes in when travelling, or just as safe storage solution to keep them nice.
