As promised in my review two weeks ago, I’m back with a little update on how I’ve been getting on with the Real Techniques Bold Metals Arched Powder Brush. If you missed the first post, you may want to read that first, you can find it here!So as far as setting powder goes, this is a dud, it just doesn’t pick up enough powder to do anything with, and that’s after washing. I tried it with my Chanel Les Beiges, my Soap and Glory One Heck of a Blot, my Rimmel Stay Matte, my Bourjois Healthy balance, and it just isn’t doing it.But, I have found a use for this. You know those blushes that are so intensely pigmented, it’s almost impossible to not end up with clown cheeks wearing them? This is perfect for those. It’s picks up a real tiny amount of product, even when you really swirl it in there, so it’s helps give that natural looking flush to the cheeks when any other brush would turn your whole face pink. I’ve been using this with some of my Tarte, NARS and MAC blushes the last two weeks and I like it. In the same vein, it’s great for bronzers that are a bit too intense, the brush fits nicely under the jawbone, and it only picks up the tiniest amount of product.Do I think this brush is worth the £25 price tag? No, I don’t. It’s pretty and it’s soft, and it works nicely with intense blushes and bronzers, but I have plenty of other brushes that do that too. In fact, I kinda feel the same way about the original Real Techniques Blush Brush, that doesn’t pick up much either, and if anything, it does a better job at blending than this.I hope that helps some of you who were curious about this collection, I know there have been a lot of rave reviews, but sometimes I do wonder if people still use these products a few months down the line? I’ve since bought the contour brush to give that a whirl too, but I’m not going to be buying any more, and I wouldn’t advise you to either. Your money is better spent with the original Real Techniques line, Nanshy, Zoeva or even MAC.What do you think of these brushes?
