The Real Techniques Everyday Essentials Set excels in providing a streamlined, effective makeup application experience for daily routines. Each tool is designed to perform its specific function with precision and ease, contributing to a polished final look.
RT 400 Blush Brush: This brush truly delivers on its promise of a natural, even blush application. Its fluffy head picks up just enough powder and diffuses it seamlessly onto the apples of the cheeks, preventing harsh lines and ensuring a soft wash of color. It works particularly well with finely milled powder blushes.
Miracle Complexion Sponge: This versatile sponge is a standout for liquid and cream foundations. When dampened and squeezed out, it expands, allowing for a light, dewy application by gently patting product onto the skin. For fuller coverage, using it dry allows more product to be picked up and buffed in. It's also excellent for blending out concealer or cream contour.
RT 300 Deluxe Crease Brush: Despite its compact size, this brush is surprisingly effective for eye makeup. Its dense, short bristles make it ideal for packing color into the crease and then blending it out with small, circular motions. It's particularly useful for creating depth and definition with both cream and powder eyeshadows, making intricate blending more accessible.
RT 402 Setting Brush: This smaller, fluffy brush is perfect for targeted application. It's excellent for precisely applying setting powder under the eyes or around the nose to prevent creasing. It also shines as a highlighter brush, allowing you to dust illuminating powders on the high points of the face (cheekbones, brow bone, Cupid's bow) for a natural glow, avoiding over-application.
RT 200 Expert Face Brush: This firm-bristled brush is a workhorse for liquid and cream foundations. It buffs product into the skin efficiently, creating a smooth, airbrushed finish without absorbing too much product. Its density makes it effective for achieving medium to full coverage quickly, making it a go-to for a flawless complexion.
Setup: Your Real Techniques Everyday Essentials Set requires no complex setup. The tools are ready for immediate use straight out of the packaging. We recommend a quick initial wash for hygiene before their first application.
Compatibility: This set is designed for broad compatibility with various makeup formulations:
Brushes: Suitable for use with powder, liquid, and cream-based products.
Miracle Complexion Sponge: Optimized for liquid and cream foundations and concealers.
Care and Maintenance: Proper care extends the life and performance of your tools:
Cleaning: For optimal hygiene and performance, clean your brushes and sponge regularly. For face brushes and the sponge, aim for at least once a week. Eye brushes can be cleaned every 1-2 weeks depending on usage.
Method: Use a mild brush cleanser, gentle soap, or baby shampoo with lukewarm water. Gently swirl bristles/sponge on a textured silicone mat or in the palm of your hand to work up a lather.
Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly under lukewarm running water until the water runs clear. Ensure no soap residue remains.
Reshaping & Drying: Gently squeeze out excess water from brushes and reshape the bristles to their original form. For the sponge, squeeze out all excess water. Lay brushes flat or hang them upside down (if using a brush drying rack) to air dry completely. Allow the sponge to air dry in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight or heat.
Storage: Store tools in a clean, dry place, away from dust and direct heat. Keep them separate from other makeup items to prevent cross-contamination.
