I'm probably one of the last people to review the Real Techniques Expert Face Brush. But I cannot resist sharing my thoughts about this brush with you all. This brush is very special to me. Why? Because it was my first "proper" foundation brush.

Earlier, I had only used those flat foundation brushes from generic brands that used to shed like crazy all over my face and leave those dreaded streak marks. When I first heard about Real Techniques, I immediately went to their website and had a look at all their brushes. The Expert Face Brush appealed to me instantly. It was the only RT Brush that I really wanted at the time. But the next big obstacle was its lack of availability in India. I asked my aunt who was living in the States to send one to me.
I cannot describe my joy when I received this brush. It was the softest brush I'd ever felt. And the bristles were nice and firm, with just the right amount of give. So I ran to the mirror with my foundation bottle in hand (yes, I used to use foundation back then). Its dense bristles helped in buffing the foundation into my skin. It didn't SIT on top of my skin, instead it became a PART of my skin. And there were no streak lines! There was absolutely no shedding of bristles on my skin (that made my face look like a cat had been sitting on it). The brush cleaned really easily with baby shampoo and water. It hasn't shed a single bristle despite being washed numerous times.

Fast forward to two years later and I have ended up buying a few more Real Techniques brushes, thanks to their easier availability in India. I own 3 Expert Face Brushes at the moment. That included the first brush that my aunt had sent to me. I will always keep that one with me (I'm sentimental like that). I may always try out other foundation brushes, but I will always keep coming back to my Real Techniques Expert Face Brush. It will always be my first love (in terms of foundation brushes).
For the price and quality, you cannot beat Real Techniques. So my final advice is this: If you have access to them, go get 'em!
