The Real Techniques Face Base Set is engineered to simplify your makeup routine and elevate your results. Each brush serves a specific purpose while maintaining multi-functionality.
Foundation Application (256 Ultra Buff Brush):
How to use: Dispense a small amount of your favorite cream or liquid foundation onto the back of your hand or directly onto the brush. Gently stipple and buff the product onto your skin using circular motions. The dense, flat-top design of the 256 brush ensures even distribution and a streak-free finish.
Tip: For buildable coverage, start with a small amount and layer as needed.
Concealer Blending (257 Small Conceal Brush):
How to use: Apply concealer directly to the desired areas (under eyes, blemishes). Use the small, tapered head of the 257 brush to gently pat and blend the concealer into your skin. Its precise size allows for targeted application and seamless integration.
Tip: Use light, dabbing motions for a natural, uncreased look.
Contour & Sculpting (258 Flat Contour Brush):
How to use: Pick up your cream or powder contour product with the flat side of the 258 brush. Apply along the hollows of your cheeks, jawline, and temples. The flat, angled shape is ideal for creating sharp lines that can then be blended out for a natural sculpted effect.
Tip: Blend upwards into your hairline for a more diffused finish.
Setting Powder & Highlight (402 Setting Brush):
How to use: Lightly dip the 402 brush into your setting powder or highlighter. Gently dust the powder onto areas you want to set (e.g., T-zone, under eyes) or apply highlighter to the high points of your face (cheekbones, bridge of nose).
Tip: The soft, fluffy head is perfect for a light, precise application without disturbing underlying makeup.
Your Real Techniques Face Base Set arrives ready to use. Simply unbox the brushes, and they are prepared for immediate application. No assembly or special preparation is required.
These brushes are designed to work seamlessly with a wide range of makeup formulas:
Creams: Ideal for cream foundations, concealers, blushes, and contours.
Liquids: Excellent for liquid foundations, tinted moisturizers, and liquid highlighters.
Powders: Effective for setting powders, powder foundations, blushes, bronzers, and highlighters.
Proper care extends the life of your brushes and ensures hygienic application:
Regular Cleaning: Clean your brushes regularly, ideally after every 1-3 uses, to prevent product buildup and bacterial growth.
Cleaning Process: Wet the bristles with lukewarm water. Apply a small amount of Real Techniques Brush + Sponge Cleansing Gel or a gentle brush cleanser to the palm of your hand or a cleaning mat. Gently swirl the brush bristles into the cleanser to create a lather.
Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse the bristles under lukewarm running water, ensuring all makeup and cleanser are removed. Avoid submerging the ferrule (metal part) in water to prevent glue degradation.
Reshape & Dry: Gently squeeze out excess water from the bristles. Reshape the brush head to its original form. Lay brushes flat on a clean towel or hang them upside down to air dry completely before storage or next use. Avoid drying brushes upright, as water can seep into the ferrule.
Storage: Store brushes in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight or excessive moisture, to maintain their integrity.
