The Real Techniques Powder Brush is engineered for seamless powder application, helping you achieve a professional, high-definition look with ease.
For Loose Powder:
Dip the brush into your loose powder, ensuring a light coating on the bristles.
Gently tap off any excess product on the back of your hand or the powder container lid to prevent over-application.
Lightly sweep or dab the brush over your face, starting from the center and working outwards, to set makeup, reduce shine, or blur imperfections.
Tip: For the most natural finish, use a lighter hand and build coverage gradually.
For Pressed or Mineral Powder:
Swirl the brush gently over your pressed powder compact or mineral foundation.
Tap away excess product.
For mineral foundation, apply in circular buffing motions to work the product into the skin. For pressed powder, use soft sweeping motions to set your base.
For Sheer Bronzer Application:
Lightly pick up a small amount of bronzer with the brush.
Apply to areas where the sun naturally hits your face (e.g., forehead, cheekbones, nose, chin) for a subtle, sun-kissed glow. The large, domed head provides a diffuse application, preventing harsh lines.
Body Application:
Its large size makes it perfect for evenly applying setting powder, body shimmers, or subtle bronzer to larger areas such as the neck, décolletage, and collarbone for a unified and polished look.
Your Real Techniques Powder Brush requires no assembly. Simply remove it from its packaging, and it's ready for immediate use. Its ergonomic design means it feels balanced and comfortable in your hand right away.
This powder brush is highly compatible with a variety of powder-based makeup products, making it a versatile addition to your beauty routine. It works effectively with:
Loose setting powders
Pressed powders
Mineral foundations
Bronzers (for a sheer, natural application)
Body shimmers or powders
Proper care is crucial for extending the life and maintaining the optimal performance of your Real Techniques Powder Brush.
Regular Cleaning: Clean your brush at least once a week, or more frequently if used daily or with different color products.
Wet the bristles with lukewarm (not hot) water, pointing the bristles downwards.
Apply a small amount of gentle brush cleanser, mild soap, or baby shampoo to the palm of your hand or a textured cleaning mat.
Gently massage the bristles in a circular motion against your hand or mat until all makeup residue is loosened.
Rinse thoroughly under lukewarm running water until the water runs clear from the bristles. Ensure no soap residue remains.
Gently squeeze out excess water from the bristles with a clean towel, reshaping the brush head back to its original domed form.
Drying:
Utilize the brush's self-standing design by placing it upright on a flat surface to air dry. This allows water to drain away from the ferrule (the metal part that holds the bristles), which helps prevent glue degradation and bristle shedding.
Avoid drying brushes with bristles pointing upwards, as water can seep into the handle and weaken the glue.
Allow the brush to dry completely before its next use, typically overnight.
Storage:
Store your dry brush upright in a brush holder or laid flat in a drawer to protect the bristles from dust, deformation, and damage. The self-standing feature makes upright storage particularly convenient and neat.
