1. Real Techniques Expert Face Brush
This brush blends foundation and concealer in immaculately. It doesn't leave streak marks and leaves your foundation looking really natural (it really buffs it in to the skin).
2. Real Techniques Setting Brush
I use this to set my concealer under my eyes. As it is so small you know exactly where you're applying the powder. I also use this brush for applying precision highlighting.
3. Real Techniques Blush Brush
This brush is a multi-tasking brush for me. I use it for applying a quick dust of powder all over my face and/or I use it for apply blusher. Despite it being slightly big, you don't apply a whole load of blusher. The tip of the brush (where you pick up the powder/blusher) is quite pointed and small, therefore you can apply less and thereafter build up. The bristles around the tip blend upon application. (This brush is also SO SOFT).
4. Real Techniques Contour Brush
I love this brush! It's part of the Real techniques Core Collection kit and it is absolutely perfect for applying blush and for contouring. It's the perfect size for contouring as it really gets in to the hollows of your cheeks and defines your cheekbones.
5. Mac 217 Brush
I think this is the most raved about brush ever. It is a perfect brush for blending your eye-shadow. I also use it for blending my concealer into the skin and it is amazing! It does carry quite a heavy brush - but look out for flash sales on Debenhams and John Lewis.
